    Study Notes

    Groundwork for IV Medication

    • William Harvey provided the foundation for IV medication, demonstrating the concept of continuous circulation of blood within a closed system.
    • He showed that blood flow within the circulatory system is unidirectional due to the presence of valves in the heart and veins.

    Neils Bjorn Jorgensen

    • In 1945, Neils B. Jorgensen became the first person to use the IV route to provide premedication.
    • Jorgensen's technique involved a cocktail of pentobarbital, meperidine, and scopolamine.

    Intravenous Sedation

    • Definition: Administration of a drug that results in depression of the central nervous system.
    • Goal: To produce a state of sedation in which the patient maintains protective reflexes, and the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are minimally affected.

    Advantages of IV Sedation

    • Rapid onset: 20-25 seconds arm-to-brain circulation
    • Titration: Dosage can be tailored to achieve suitable level of sedation and shorter recovery period
    • Continuous IV infusion: Patent vein maintained throughout the procedure
    • Rare side effects of nausea and vomiting when drugs are administered as recommended
    • Salivation control: Possible through IV administration of anticholinergics
    • Diminished gag reflex and motor disturbances

    Disadvantages of IV Sedation

    • Venipuncture necessary
    • Complications may arise at the site of venipuncture
    • More intensive monitoring required
    • Recovery not complete: Escort needed
    • Most IV agents cannot be reversed

    Indications for IV Sedation

    • Anxiety
    • Amnesia
    • Medically compromised patients (e.g., angina pectoris, high blood pressure, previous myocardial infarction, previous cerebrovascular accident, epilepsy)
    • Control of secretions
    • Analgesia
    • Diminished gagging

    Contraindications for IV Sedation

    • Lack of proper training
    • Pregnancy (relative contraindication)
    • Hepatic disease
    • Thyroid dysfunction
    • Adrenal insufficiency
    • Patients receiving MAOIs or TCAs
    • Extremely obese patients
    • Inadequate veins
    • Allergy to medications

    General Anesthesia

    • Definition: A drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients are not arousable, even by painful stimulation.
    • Patients require assistance in maintaining a patent airway and may need positive pressure ventilation.
    • Cardiovascular function may be impaired.

    Advantages of General Anesthesia

    • Patient cooperation is not essential
    • Patient is unconscious
    • Patient does not respond to pain
    • Amnesia is present
    • Rapid onset and titration possible
    • Success rate of 100%

    Disadvantages of General Anesthesia

    • Patient is unconscious
    • Protective reflexes are depressed
    • Vital signs are depressed
    • Advanced training and equipment required
    • Anesthesia team required
    • Special equipment and recovery area needed
    • Intraoperative and postanesthetic complications are more common
    • Preoperative evaluation and preparation are more extensive

    Contraindications for General Anesthesia

    • Lack of adequate training by the doctor
    • Lack of adequately trained personnel
    • Lack of adequate equipment or facilities
    • ASA IV and certain ASA III medically compromised patients
    • History of poliomyelitis, myasthenia gravis, obese patients, or significant decreased cardiac and/or pulmonary reserve
    • Patients with a history of malignant hyperthermia

    Indications for General Anesthesia

    • Extreme anxiety and fear
    • Mentally or physically disabled patients
    • Age: infants and children
    • Short or long traumatic procedures

    Outpatient General Anesthesia vs. Inpatient

    • Outpatient general anesthesia: Economics, psychological benefits, reduced exposure to nosocomial infections, parental preference
    • Inpatient general anesthesia: Patient admitted to the hospital prior to the planned procedure, undergoes workup to determine risk, and remains in the hospital postoperatively.

    Types of General Anesthesia

    • In-office outpatient general anesthesia (IV anesthesia): Less than 30 minutes, conventional operating theater type of GA (more than 30 minutes, less than 4 hours)
    • Inpatient general anesthesia: Patient admitted to the hospital prior to the planned procedure.

    Armamentarium

    • Anesthesia machine
    • IV equipment
    • Ancillary anesthesia equipment (e.g., face masks, laryngoscopes, endotracheal tubes, oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways)
    • Monitoring equipment (e.g., stethoscopes, pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff, ECG, temperature)
    • Emergency equipment and drugs (e.g., bispectral electroencephalographic monitoring, EEG, arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, collection and measurement of urine output)

    Pharmacology

    • Benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, midazolam)
    • Barbiturates (e.g., methohexital, pentobarbital)
    • Opioid agonists (e.g., meperidine, fentanyl)
    • Opioid agonists/antagonists (e.g., pentazocine, nalbuphine)
    • Opioid antagonist (e.g., naloxone)
    • Anticholinergics (e.g., atropine, scopolamine)
    • Antidotal drugs (e.g., flumazenil)
