Study Notes
Induction Agents
- Induction agents are used to achieve rapid anesthesia.
- Options include:
- Etomidate: Administer at 0.3 mg/kg intravenously, notable for cardiovascular stability.
- Ketamine: Administer at 1-2 mg/kg intravenously, provides analgesia and dissociative anesthesia.
- Propofol: Administer at 1-2 mg/kg intravenously, known for quick onset and recovery.
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents
- Neuromuscular blocking agents facilitate muscle relaxation during procedures.
- Options include:
- Succinylcholine: Administer at 1-2 mg/kg intravenously, acts rapidly but with a short duration.
- Rocuronium: Administer at 0.6-1.5 mg/kg intravenously, with a recommended minimum dose of ≥1 mg/kg of ideal body weight (IBW). Preferred for longer procedures due to its intermediate duration of action.
