Inhaled anesthetic general principles:
dereased solubility in blood? increased solubility in lipids? increased arterial-venous concentration gradient in tissue? |
decreased solubility in blood- faster induction and recovery time
increased solubility in lipids- has SLOWER INDUCTION, but HIGHER POTENCY higher conc. gradient in tissue (brain)- more needed to saturate tissues- slower induction |

local anesthetics mechanism?
what factor decreases local anesthetic action? do they like small/large nerves? myelinated/unmyelinated? what is order of loss? touch, pressure, pain, temp |
Na+ channel blockade by going through channel and binding on inside
decreased pH ionizes them, and charged ions cannot pentrate tissue as well like small over large diameter, myelinated over unmyelinated (makes sense that pain lost first because Adelta pain fibers are small and myelinated) 1. pain 2. temp 3. touch 4. pressure |
