Study Notes

Induction of Anesthesia

Anesthesia can be induced through inhaled or intravenous routes.
Pharmacologic or verbal anxiolysis (e.g., benzodiazepines) can enhance patient comfort during induction.

Preoxygenation and Denitrogenation

Preoxygenation, also known as denitrogenation, replaces nitrogen in the functional residual capacity (FRC) with oxygen.
Techniques include:
- Eight vital capacity breaths of 100% oxygen over 60 seconds.
- Tidal volume breathing of 100% oxygen for 3 minutes.
Both methods replace approximately 80% of the FRC with oxygen.

Importance of Preoxygenation

Provides essential safety during episodes of apnea or upper airway obstruction when general anesthesia is induced.
Delays or prevents the onset of hypoxemia between intravenous induction and the commencement of controlled ventilation.
