Autonomic/CV Drugs Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 1091: In the graph of $F_A/F_I$ (alveolar to inspired anesthetic concentration), does a curve that rises **slowly** represent an inhaled anesthetic with a high or low blood solubility?
_____
Answer: High (slowly saturated, e.g. halothane)
Extra: Anesthetics with **high blood solubility** (high blood-gas partition coefficient) are slower to saturate the blood, leading to a slower rise in alveolar partial pressure ($F_A$) and a slower induction of anesthesia.
Example: **Halothane** (high solubility) vs. **Nitrous oxide** (low solubility).
Sketchy Pharmacology: Neuro/Psych
Watch Inhaled anesthetics, dantrolene.
