1What does lipid theory say?
- AWhen the concentration of general anaesthetic exceeds 0.05mM, anaesthesia is induced as a result of a lipid volume increase of 0.4%. The lipid expansion interferes with nerve impulse conduction and thus anaesthesia is induced.
- BWhen the concentration of general anaesthetic exceeds 0.5mM, anaesthesia is induced as a result of a lipid volume increase of 0.4%. The lipid expansion interferes with nerve impulse conduction and thus anaesthesia is induced.
- CWhen the concentration of general anaesthetic exceeds 0.5mM, anaesthesia is induced as a result of a lipid volume increase of 4%. The lipid expansion interferes with nerve impulse conduction and thus anaesthesia is induced.
- DWhen the concentration of general anaesthetic exceeds 0.1mM, anaesthesia is induced as a result of a lipid volume increase of 0.4%. The lipid expansion interferes with nerve impulse conduction and thus anaesthesia is induced.
2What can reverse lipid theory?
- AHigh pressure - reduces lipid volume back to normal
- BLow pressure - reduces lipid volume back to normal
3What is protein theory?
- AA concentration of general anaesthetic that reaches 0.05mM leads to a lipid volume increase of 0.4% which induces anaesthesia. This is because the increase in lipid volume interferes with conduction of nerve impulses.
- BLipid solubility of general anaesthetics is required for the general anaesthetic to reach a hydrophobic pocket on a channel protein. Channel proteins targeted are usually ion channels like GABA, K+ or nAchR.
4Optical isomers of GA have the same lipid solubility and the same potency.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
5What are the inhibitory responses caused by general anaesthetics?
- AOpening of K+ channels (efflux)
- BIncrease GABA activity
- CInhibit excitatory channels such as nAchR
- DIncrease glutaminergic activity
- EOpening of K+ channels (influx)
6What is meant by the cut-off phenomenon?
- AThe lipid solubility of a GA (and thus its potency) increases with the number of carbons in a GA but after a certain point (usually >11 carbons) the GA's potency abruptly declines.
- BAfter a certain high dose of GA, the patients condition rapidly deteriorates.
- CThe general anaesthetic stops working after a certain period of time.
7GA have a large therapeutic window.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
8The minimum alveolar concentration effectively describes what?
- AThe more lipid soluble a GA is, the lower the concentration required in inspired air.
- BThe more lipid soluble a GA is, the higher the concentration required in inspired air.
- CThe less lipid soluble a GA is, the lower the concentration required in inspired air.
- DThe less lipid soluble a GA is, the higher the concentration required in inspired air.
9What increases transfer of GA to the alveoli?
- AIncreased concentration of GA
- BIncreased rate and depth of breathing
- CDecreased concentration of GA
- DDecreased rate and depth of breathing
10A higher blood:gas partition coefficient means that the GA is highly soluble in blood.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
11A GA with a high blood:gas partition coefficient will travel to the brain much quicker than one with a lower blood:gas partition coefficient.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
12Why would pulmonary blood flow increase help with absorption of GA when GA concentration in the body is initially low?
- AIt maintains a high, favourable concentration gradient for the absorption of GA from the lungs into the blood, therefore increasing speed of induction.
- BIt helps to increase blood flow to the brain to increase the concentration of general anaesthetic in the desired place.
13What tissue has a high tissue:blood partition coefficient?
- AAdipose tissue
- BMuscle tissue
- CBrain tissue
14Overall, what is evidence for lipid theory?
- AVolume expansion of the lipid bilayer
- BCut-off phenomenon
- CStereoselectivity
15Overall, what is evidence for protein theory?
- AVolume expansion of the lipid bilayer
- BCut-off phenomenon
- CStereoselectivity
16GA is usually metabolised by the body and excreted in the urine.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
17Both blood:gas and tissue:blood partition coefficients are inversely proportional to the speed of induction of GA.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
18What is an advantage of using halothane?
- APotent and fast acting
- BPleasant odour
- CLess liver damage
19What is a disadvantage of sevoflurane?
- ALiver toxicity
- BBad smell
- CPossible seizures
20Intravenous GA is usually used for induction.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
21Intravenously administered thiopental and propofol act at which receptors?
- AGABA-a receptors
- BGABA-b receptors
- CNMDA
22Intravenously administered ketamine act at what receptors?
- ANMDA
- BGABA-a
- CGABA-b
23Adjuncts are used to enhance the potency of a GA.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
24Give some examples of adjuncts used for GA administration.
- AAnxiolytics
- BAnti-depressants
- CAnti-psychotics
- DAnti-emetics
- EMuscle relaxants
