Study Notes
Sedation
- A state of mental calmness, decreased response to environmental stimuli
- Barbiturates are a class of drugs that are central nervous system depressants
- Barbiturates can produce effects ranging from mild sedation to anesthesia
Barbiturates
- Thiopentane is an example of a short-acting barbiturate
- Barbiturates are effective as anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants
- Barbiturates have analgesic effects, but they are weak
- Barbiturates are potent inducers of liver metabolizing enzymes
- Barbiturates have both physical and psychological addiction potential
- Barbiturates have high lipid solubility and rapidly cross the blood-brain barrier
- Barbiturates redistribute to other tissues, resulting in a short duration of action
- Barbiturates are hypnotic drugs
- The onset of action is the time required to lose the righting reflex
- The duration of action of barbiturates can be measured by the ‘sleeping time’ in mice
Induction of Anesthesia
- Distinct stages occur during induction of anesthesia
- Stages occur in reverse order during recovery
- Recovery phases are slower than induction phases
- Stages are easier to assess in reverse order
