Term
What should you do if Thiopental turns in to a lye solution?
Definition
-dilute!
-at least 5 X the injected volume
-prevent: use IV catheters, read labels
Term
Describe how to prepare Etomidate.
Definition
-0.2 % solution (2 mg/ml)
-solubilized in propylene glycol (35%)
(high osmoloality)
-clear
-carrier may cause hemolysis
Term
Describe how to prepare Propofol.

-very well absorbed IM
Term
What factors can affect recovery?
Definition
-other drugs given
-inhalant maintenance
-pain
-body temperature
Term
Benefits/drawbacks of using Etomidate for induction.
Definition
-great for sick or old patients
-best with premeds or paired with benzo (minimize risk of myoclonus)
-pain (related to propylene glycol?)
-retching and vomiting (as lose consciousness)
Term
Benefits/drawbacks of using Propofol for induction.
Definition
-very smooth (excitement free, slower onset of effect, administer slowly)
-Apnea common (dose and rate related, e prepared to intubate/ventilate)
-cyanosis is also common
-muscle ridgidity
Term
Benefits/drawbacks of using Ketamine for induction.
Definition
-ketamine alone is undesirable
-almost always give w/ benzo or other drugs
-retain many reflexes
-jaw tone, swallowing make intubation more challengin
-depth interpretation is more complicated
-diazepam/ketamine is very popular, and does work well once familiar with it
Term
Summary of induction qualities of common drugs.
Definition
-thiopental (alkaline, must go IV, smooth and reliable)
-Etomidate (propylene glycol, hemolysis; best reserved for sick or old)
-Propofol (lipid emulsion, bacterial growth; smooth and reliable)
-Ketamine (effective IM or IV, stings; widest safety margin and use)
Term
What factors can affect recovery?
Definition
-other drugs given
-inhalant maintenance
-pain
-body temperature
Term
Sighthounds
Definition
-well documented problems with thiobarbituate anesthesia (prolonged, rough recoveries)
-initially thought to be due to lack of fat for redistribution
-has been shown that they enzyme deficiency that slows metabolism
Term
Recovery with Etomidate.
Definition
-rapid (occasionally prolonged in debilitated patients)
-may be rough w/o premeds on board
-rapidly metabolized, so recovery rapid regardless of multiple doses or CRI
Term
Recovery with Ketamine.
Definition
-ketamine alone is undesirable
-as commonly used, with other drugs, gives acceptable recoveries
-Telazol may be slow (following IM dose, in occasional cat-Flumazenil)
Term
Propfol:Thiopental mixture.
Definition
-first reported use in humans
-synergism
-recovery quality similar to propofol
-reduce cost
-drug stability
-inhibit bacterial growth
-less apnea, less hypotention?
Term
Clinical use of Propofol: Thiopental
Definition
-mix in the same syringe (propofol: 1/2 of "propofol only" calculated dose; Thiopental (2.5%): same volume as propofol)
-mix into sterile vial: measure volume of propofol using a sterile syringe, add same volume of thiopental (2.5%), solution contains 5 mg/ml Propofol, 12.4 mg/ml Thiopental
Term
Recovery qualities of Thiopental.
Definition
-smooth, unless too short
-BAD in greyhounds
Term
Recovery qualities of Etomidate.
Definition
-fast
-can be rough if going "commando" (no premeds)
Term
Recovery qualities of Propofol.
Definition
-smooth and reliable
-combine with thio to reduce cost, inhibit bacterial growth
Term
Recovery qualities of Ketamine.
Definition
-acceptable (can be a lot of movement)
-unpredictably prolonged in cats with tiletamine-zolazepam
Term
Other things-CNS effects
Definition
-Thiopental and etomidate-rapid equilibration of BB concentration (15-30 sec)
-Propofol-slower; results in slower onset of effects (30-60 sec)
-Ketamine-traditionally given more slowly
Term
Cerebral blood flow, metabolic oxygen consumption, CSF pressure
Definition
-Thiopental, propofol, etomidate (decrease metabolic rate, decrease CO2 production, decrease O2 consumption, and decrease intracranial pressure)
-Thiopental, propofol, etomidate ("cerebral protectinon")
-Ketamine-opposite!
Term
Anesthetics and the seizuring patient
Definition
-ultimate therapy for seizuring patient-> anesthesia
-Thiopental, propofol-> effective anticonvulsants
-Etomidate, propofol-> may produce myoclonic activity (controversial)
-Katemine-> contraindicated in patients at risk?
Term
Analgesia: thiopental, propofol, etomidate
Definition
-NOT analgesic
-hyperalgesia at low doses?
-but how can we do painful things with these injectables?
Term
Analgesia: Ketamine.

-Analgesic
Term
Other qualities of common drugs (NEED TO KNOW)
Definition
-Thiopental-cerebroprotective, anticonvulants, NO analgesia
-Etomidate-Cerebroprotective, anticonvulsant, NO analgesia
-Propofol-Cerebroprotective, anticonvulsant (or, maybe not??), no analgesia
-Ketamine-NOT cerebroprotective (or is it??), analgesia!!! (somatic > visceral)
Term
Etomidate: Cardiovascular effects.
Definition
-nothing changes
-drug of choice for cardiovascularly compromised patient
Term
Thiopental: CV effects:
Definition
-healthy patient: transient tachycardia, little effect on CO/BP

-unpremedicated patient: arrhythmias common, VPC's bigeminy
-compromised patient: significant hypotension
Term
Propofol CV effects

-may be pronounced in compromised patient
-tendency for bradycardia
-not arrhthmogenic
Term
Ketamine CV effects
Definition
-increased: HR, Contractility, CO, BP
-usually good
-but: also increase myocardial O2 consumption, workload
-may not be well tolerated in some CV disease states
-due to increased CNS sympathetic outflow, increased endogenous CA
Term
Respiratory effects of Ketamine/Etomidate
Definition
-mild effect on ventilation
-will decrease ventilatory response to hypercapnia (modestly)
Term
Respiratory effects of Thiopental/propofol
Definition
-cetnrally-mediated resp depression
-apnea (if occurs, what do we do?)
-cyanosis
Term
Bronchodilation
Definition
-ketamine produces bronchodilation (useful for asthmatics?)
-Propofol: implicated in bronchoconstriction (but, might produce bronchodilation-patient dependent????)
Term

Definition
-Thiopental-increased HR, arrythmogenic (venricular bigeminy), apnea
-Propofol-decreased HR, VASODILATION, apnea

Definition
-maintenance of CO, BP of most importance
(preoperative stabilization, CV monitoring, aggressive therapy of hypotension)
-cats and ketamine
-hemolysis and etomidate
Term
Endocrine effects of injectable anesthetics.
Definition
-depresses adrenocortical function
-single dose (not an issue)
-multiple doses/long term CRI
(significant issues, increase morbidity, increase mortality)
Term
Ophthalmological effects of injectable anesthetics.
Definition
-intraocular pressure (may be a concern with deep corneal ulcers, penetrating wounds to eye)
-Ketamine: increased pressure (not a good choice; remember, eye=brain)
-others: decrease pressure
Term
Price of injectable anesthetics
Definition
-thiopental
-diazepam/ketamine(least expensive)
-propofol (moderately expensive)
-Etomidate (wicked expensive)
Term
Criteria to consider when deciding on injectable anesthetic:
Definition
-procedure: analgesia needed? expected duration?
-patient personality: calm? hyperactive? aggressive?
-patient status: neonate, elderly or ill=more profound effect?
Term
General rules of thumb for inj anesthetics in dogs.
Definition
-good, reliable sedation from opioids (remember not all opioids are the same)
-can augment sedation, by adding: major tranq, minor tranq (benzo), sedative (A2agonist)
-lost of choices for induction (depends on patient and premed results (if used)
Term
General rules of thumb for inj anesthetics: cats
Definition
-NOT reliable sedation from opioids
-for chemical restrain, you need ONE Of 3 (dissociative, A2agonist, Chamber ("box) induction with inhalant
-lots of choices for induction (depends on patient and premed results -if used)
