Study Notes
Pharmacokinetics
- Introduces the concept of how anesthetic drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated in the body
Goals of Anesthetics
- Most anesthetics aim to provide analgesia, amnesia, and immobility
- However, one goal that is NOT a primary objective of anesthetics is to provide a sense of well-being
Pharmacologic Terms
- Box 4.1 lists basic pharmacologic terms, excluding "sense of well-being"
- The purpose of Box 4.1 is to provide a foundation for understanding pharmacology in anesthesia
Anesthesia Administration
- Anesthesia providers rarely administer just one drug because most anesthetics are a combination of multiple agents
- This is because individual drugs may not provide all the necessary components of anesthesia
Pharmacodynamics
- Discusses the effects of anesthetic drugs on the body
- Examines how anesthetic drugs interact with their target receptors to produce desired effects
Importance of Pharmacology
- Knowledge of pharmacology is crucial for anesthesia providers because it enables them to understand the actions and interactions of anesthetic drugs
- This understanding is essential for safe and effective anesthesia care
