Anesthetic Agents J. Michael Semenza, II, MD Island Medical Consultants October 15, 2016
2
Objectives Inhaled Anesthetics Intravenous Anesthetics Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
3
Objectives Inhaled Anesthetics History Nitrous Oxide Isoflurane Sevoflurane Desflurane Intravenous Anesthetics Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
4
PACU Patient 35 F with a history of asthma presents with a renal stone and undergoes a cystoscopy with laser lithotripsy for stone removal Anesthetic General anesthetic with an LMA Which inhalational agent would you use?
6
Inhaled Anesthetics – Ideal Qualities Quick onset/offset Not flammable No organ toxicity Does not promote nausea and vomiting Low cost
7
Nitrous Oxide - History One of first inhaled anesthetics Joseph Priestly Synthesized in 1772 Sir Humphry Davy “Laughing gas” Horace Wells “Painless dentistry”
8
Nitrous Oxide Weak general anesthetic and generally not used as a single agent Used as a carrier gas with oxygen in combination with more potent inhalational gases for surgical anesthesia In dentistry, commonly used as a single agent with oxygen for partial sedation. Mask induction for pediatric patients
9
Nitrous Oxide – Adverse Effects Contraindications Pneumothorax Air embolism Pregnancy Interferes with vitamin B12 and folate metabolism Nausea and vomiting
10
Isoflurane Introduced into clinical practice in 1980s and widely used clinically Not associated with cardiac dysrhythmias Associated with less toxicity than predecessors Delayed recovery from anesthesia
11
Sevoflurane Use started in the 1990s Pediatric patients Advantages Rapid onset and rapid recovery of anesthesia Not as pungent as Desflurane Bronchodilator
12
Desflurane Advantages Rapid onset and recovery of anesthesia useful for outpatient procedures One of the least metabolized to toxic byproducts Disadvantages $$$ Pungent and irritating to the airway more coughing, laryngospasm Significant increase in the BP and HR
13
PACU Patient 35 F with a history of asthma presents with a renal stone and undergoes a cystoscopy with laser lithotripsy for stone removal Anesthetic General anesthetic with an LMA Which inhalational agent would you use?
14
PACU Patient 35 F with a history of asthma presents with a renal stone and undergoes a cystoscopy with laser lithotripsy for stone removal Anesthetic General anesthetic with an LMA Which inhalational agent would you use? Sevoflurane, although any agent can be used.
15
Objectives Inhaled Anesthetics Intravenous Anesthetics Propofol Ketamine Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
16
Case Presentation Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Reduction in complications and hospital stay Non opioid analgesia 55 yo M with a history of colon cancer presents for a robotic assisted partial colectomy. General anesthesia What infusion can be run to decrease/eliminate opioid usage during surgery?
17
Propofol Indications Rapid induction of anesthesia Sedation in the operating room Sedation in intensive care settings
18
Propofol - Pharmacodynamics Central Nervous System Hypnotic No analgesic properties Cardiovascular System Large decrease in systemic BP Respiratory System Respiratory depressant Other Effects Antiemetic Pain on injection
19
Propofol
20
Ketamine PCP derivative Introduced into clinical practice in 1965 Produces significant analgesia Primary Uses Induction and maintenance for anesthesia Sedation or general anesthesia in children Chronic pain management
21
Ketamine - Pharmacodynamics MOA NMDA receptor antagonist Central Nervous System Increases intracranial pressure Cardiovascular System Significant increase in BP, HR and CO Respiratory System NO significant respiratory depression
22
Ketamine – Disadvantages Unpleasant Emergence Reactions Vivid colorful dreams Hallucinations Out-of-body experiences Distorted visual, tactile and auditory sensitivity Lesser incidence in children
23
Case Presentation Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Reduction in complications and hospital stay Non opioid analgesia 55 yo M with a history of colon cancer presents for a robotic assisted partial colectomy. General anesthesia What infusion can be run to decrease/eliminate opioid usage during surgery?
24
Case Presentation Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Reduction in complications and hospital stay Non opioid analgesia 55 yo M with a history of colon cancer presents for a robotic assisted partial colectomy. General anesthesia What infusion can be run to decrease/eliminate opioid usage during surgery? Ketamine
25
Objectives Inhaled Anesthetics Intravenous Anesthetics Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs (NMBD) Succinylcholine Rocuronium Cisatracurium
26
Case Presentation 55 yo male with a history of ESRD on hemodialysis presents for an emergent laparoscopic appendectomy with a full stomach. What labs are important in pre-op? Why? What neuromuscular blocking drugs will be used for intubation and for maintenance?
27
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs – Clinical Uses Facilitate tracheal intubation Provide optimal surgical conditions Facilitate mechanical ventilation
28
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs – Choice Speed of onset Duration of action Route of elimination Side effects
29
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
30
DepolarizingNondepolarizing
31
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs Depolarizing Nondepolarizing
32
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs Classification of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs Depolarizing (Rapid Onset and Ultrashort-Acting) Succinylcholine Nondepolarizing Long-Acting Pancuronium Intermediate-Acting Vecuronium Rocuronium Cisatracurium Short-Acting Mivacurium
33
Succinylcholine Only depolarizing NMBD used clinically Structurally similar to acetylcholine Very short duration of action Metabolized very quickly by the enzyme plasma cholinesterase Useful drug when muscle relaxation is needed for only a short time
34
Succinylcholine – Adverse Effects Cardiac dysrhythmias Sinus bradycardia Junctional Rhythm Sinus arrest Fasciculations Hyperkalemia Myalgia Myoglobinuria Increased intraocular pressure Increased intragastric pressure Trismus
35
Rocuronium The most rapid onset time for non-depolarizing NMBD Minimal cardiovascular effects Intermediate acting non- depolarizing NMBD
36
Cisatracurium Not dependent on the kidney for its elimination Hofmann elimination Patients with renal or hepatic failure Intermediate acting non- depolarizing NMBD
37
Case Presentation 55 yo male with a history of ESRD on hemodialysis presents for an emergent laparoscopic appendectomy with a full stomach. What labs are important in pre-op? Why? What neuromuscular blocking drugs will be used for intubation and for maintenance?
38
Case Presentation 55 yo male with a history of ESRD on hemodialysis presents for an emergent laparoscopic appendectomy with a full stomach. What labs are important in pre-op? Why? Potassium What neuromuscular blocking drugs will be used for intubation and for maintenance? Succinylcholine for rapid sequence intubation Cisatracurium for maintenance
