516 BARBITUATES
|
516 BARBITUATES
|
|
Thiopental
|
pH 10.5
Bacteriostatic Not compatible with acidic drugs. |
|
Refrigerated vs. non-refrigerated life span?
|
Refrigerated: 2 wks
Non: 1 wk NOTE: anhydrous: good indefinitely. |
|
What receptors do thiopental act on?
|
Act on the GABA-A receptor in the brain and spinal cord.
The GABA-A receptor is an inhibitory channel that decreases neuronal activity. Barbiturates enhance the inhibitory action of the GABA-A receptor. |
|
What effect on the sympathetic nervous system does thiopental have?
|
Decreases transmission
|
|
For thiopental, what channel does GABA have direct action on?
|
Chloride channel
|
|
Pharmacology for barbituates
|

|
1989
|
|
How is the pt when he/she wakes up after using thiopental?
|
Hangover effect due to slow metabolism.
|
|
What are the chemical regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF)?
|
1. cerebral metabolic rate (CMR).
2. PaCO2 3. PaO2 4. Temp 5. Anesthetic drugs |
|
How does the decrease of CO2 affect cerebral blood flow?
|
Dec CO2 leads to a decrease of cerebral blood flow.
Therefore, hyperventilate would decrease flow. |
|
Which anesthetic drug does NOT affect cerebral blood flow?
|
Ketamine
NOTE: ketamine actually RAISES CMR. |
|
How is ICP therapy managed?
|
1. dec. metabolic O2 requirements.
2. dec. CBF 3. potential for decrease in cerebral profusion pressure |
|
Cerebral protection wrt to global ischemia and focal ischemia?
|
NOT good for global ischemia
Great for focal ischemia |
|
What are side effects of thiopental?
|
1. cardiovascular
2. histamine release 3. heat loss |
|
How is the cardiovascular system affected?
|
Dec. systolic BP
Inc. HR |
|
How is ventilation affected as thiopental's side effect?
|
Dec. ventilation
|
|
Does thiopental cross the placenta?
|
Yes, no harm comes to fetus.
Succinylcholine is always adm. |
|
What are some reasons not to use thiopental?
|
1. HANGOVER
2. lower therapeutic index than other benzos. 3. quicker tolerance 4. risk of drug interaction 5. acute intermittent porphyria |
|
Porphyria
|
Disorders of certain enzymes in the heme bio-synthetic pathway==> PORPHOBILOGEN DEAMINASE.
|
|
How is Methohexital compared to thiopental?
|
1. more lipid soluble than thio.
2. 1-1.5 mg/kg 3. hiccups |
|
What type of liquid does propofol exist as at room temp?
|
Oil
Insoluble in aqueous soln. |
|
What receptor does Propofol bind to?
|
Potentiates GABA-a receptor
|
|
GABA-a receptor
|
Upon activation, the GABAA receptor selectively conducts Cl- through its pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. This causes an inhibitory effect on neurotransmission by diminishing the chance of a successful action potential occurring.
|
|
Onset, duration, and recovery of propofol
|
1. onset: 30 sec with peak effect at 90-100 sec.
2. duration: 5-10 mins 3. recovery through distribution |
|
Is it allowed to give propofol to pregnant women?
|
Yes. It does cross the placenta but causes no harm to fetus.
|
|
Keep in mind of the age factor
|
Inc age--> less required
|
|
What are the CNS effects due to propofol?
|
1. CMRO, CBF, and ICP all decrease.
2. Memory: antegrade amnesia |
