What side effect are we concerned with when using diazepam?
hypotension
-
What are the different types of anticholinergics?
-
What do anticholinergics do?
- decrease secretions
- increase heart rate
-
Which anticholinergic has a quicker onset time?
atropine
-
Which anticholinergic has a longer duration?
- glycopyrrolate (1.5 - 2 hours)
- atropine only lasts for 1 hour
-
What is the side effect of anticholinergics?
tachyarrhythmias
-
What are the different induction agents?
- propofol
- inhalants
- dissociatives
- barbiturates
-
What are the different inhalants?
-
What are the different dissociatives?
-
What is tiletamine?
Telazol
-
What are the different barbiturates?
-
What is the duration of propofol?
very short - 5 minutes
-
What are the side effects of propofol?
-
What do we have to do when administering propofol?
carefully titrate
-
What is the onset time for inhalants as an induction agent?
onset depends on the premeds and size of patient
-
What can the patient go through when masking them down with inhalants?
can go through the excitement phase
-
What are the side effects of using inhalants as an induction agent?
- cardiovascular depression
- respiratory depression
- unable to secure an airway right away
-
Do we titrate inhalants when we are using them as an induction agent?
yes
-
What do we usually combine ketamine with when using it as an induction agent?
benzodiazepine (diazepam)
-
Which dissociative is safer, ketamine/diazepam or Telazol?
ketamine/diazepam
-
Do dissociatives have a lot of side effects? What are the side effects?
- no
- increased heart rate, increased cardiac output
-
Do we have to titrate dissociatives when using them as an induction agent?
no
-
What are the side effects of barbiturates?
- major apnea (lasting 20 minutes)
- cardiovascular depression
-
Do we need to titrate barbiturates?
yes, carefully
-
What do we use for maintenance?
inhalants or CRIs
-
What does CRI stand for?
constant rate infusion
-
Why do we usually use inhalants as maintenance?
- east to titrate
