Study Notes
Thiopentane
- Thiopentane is an example of a very short-acting barbiturate.
- Barbiturates are effective as anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants.
- Barbiturates have weak analgesic effects, preventing their sole use during surgery.
- Thiopentane can be used as a sedative.
Negative Effects of Barbiturates
- Prolonged recovery time.
- Inadequate analgesic properties.
Induction of Anesthesia
- Examples include thiopentone and ketamine.
Maintenance of Anesthesia
- This involves the recovery phase, during which the animal will go through the stages of anesthesia in reverse.
- The recovery stages will be slower than during the induction phase.
- This allows for the examination of each stage more easily.
Changes to Look for During the Experiment:
- Observe the animal for changes during the different stages of anesthesia.
- Monitor any changes that occur during the recovery phase.
