Typical Anaesthesia Intravenous induction Propofol Short acting opiate - e.g. fentanyl Hypnotic ‘anaesthetic’ - e.g. propofol Set up of anaesthetic maintenance - e.g. sevoflurane vapour in oxygen and air Specific muscle paralysis may be needed Definitive analgesia Anti-emetic Others Intravenous induction Propofol Short acting opiate - e.g. fentanyl Hypnotic ‘anaesthetic’ - e.g. propofol Set up of anaesthetic maintenance - e.g. sevoflurane vapour in oxygen and air Specific muscle paralysis may be needed Definitive analgesia Anti-emetic Others

Hypnosis: Propofol

Hypnosis: Propofol (and others) IV Redistributed out of CNS Wears off quickly – 3-5 minutes Metabolised CVS MAP = CO x SVR RS airway and resp depression NS reflexes, Consciousness pain on injection
31
Maintenance: Volatiles Air Oxygen Sevoflurane
32
Maintenance Sevoflurane (‘SEVO’) Used for gaseous induction. Desflurane Isoflurane Gases, inhaled, little metabolised, exhaled CVS: CO x SVR = MAP RS- irritant, bronchodilate NS - unconsciousness Given with Oxygen /Air /Nitrous Oxide Sevoflurane (‘SEVO’) Used for gaseous induction. Desflurane Isoflurane Gases, inhaled, little metabolised, exhaled CVS: CO x SVR = MAP RS- irritant, bronchodilate NS - unconsciousness Given with Oxygen /Air /Nitrous Oxide CO x SVR = MAP

Monitoring volatiles live MAC = minimum alveolar concentration

Analgesia – later talk Systemic Simple- paracetamol 1g NSAID – ibuprofen, diclofenac etc Opioids eg morphine 2mg bolus Others – Ketamine Regional – spinal / epidural / blocks Local - infiltration Systemic Simple- paracetamol 1g NSAID – ibuprofen, diclofenac etc Opioids eg morphine 2mg bolus Others – Ketamine Regional – spinal / epidural / blocks Local - infiltration

Respiratory- Airway Anaesthesia ‘Obtunds’ airway =“Airway obstruction’ = no airflow = no 0 2 = Badness Anaesthesia ‘Obtunds’ airway =“Airway obstruction’ = no airflow = no 0 2 = Badness

Keep Airway open: Airway manoeuvres (chin lift etc) Airway devices- above vs blow cords Above Vocal Cords eg, gudel, LMA Below Vocal Cords - Into trachea = intubation, paralysis Keep Airway open: Airway manoeuvres (chin lift etc) Airway devices- above vs blow cords Above Vocal Cords eg, gudel, LMA Below Vocal Cords - Into trachea = intubation, paralysis Respiratory- Airway

General Advice Check out website for lots of material Come to theatre- great teaching Come to theatre- physiology in action Get involved in other areas.. Preassessment, CPEx, Outreach Nurses ICU, pain etc etc Check out website for lots of material Come to theatre- great teaching Come to theatre- physiology in action Get involved in other areas..
