Study Notes
Anesthetic Agents Dosages
- Etomidate: Administered at a dosage of 0.3 mg/kg intravenously; known for its rapid onset and minimal cardiovascular effects, often used for induction in high-risk patients.
- Ketamine: Dosing ranges from 1-2 mg/kg intravenously; serves as both an anesthetic and analgesic, providing dissociative anesthesia and effective pain relief.
- Propofol: Given in a range of 1-2 mg/kg; widely utilized for induction and maintenance of anesthesia due to its rapid pharmacokinetics and antiemetic properties.
Muscle Relaxants
- Succinylcholine: Administered intravenously at 1-2 mg/kg; a depolarizing neuromuscular blocker utilized for rapid sequence intubation due to swift onset and brief duration of action.
- Rocuronium: Dosage between 0.6-1.5 mg/kg intravenously; a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker popular for its intermediate duration and can be titrated based on clinical needs.
- Recommended minimum dose for rocuronium is ≥1 mg/kg of ideal body weight (IBW) to ensure effective neuromuscular blockade.
