  1. General Veterinary Anesthesia Joanna Webb CHEM 5398 Spring 2010

  2. Outline • History of Anesthesia • Methods of Administration • Mechanisms of Action • Companion Animal Drugs

  3. Goals of Anesthesia • Amnesia • Loss of memory • Immobility • Stay still • Analgesia • Pain relief • Homeostasis

  4. Timeline Blaze ppt. TCSVM

  5. Methods of Administration Common: Inhalation Intravenous Intramuscular Less Common: Rectal Oral Nasal Intraperitoneal

  6. Meyer-Overton Rule • Used to think all anesthetics worked the same way • The gas disrupted cell membrane lipids • Flaw: enantiomers of the same anesthetic have unique actions but the same physical properties (i.e. isoflurane) • Therefore, anesthetics must bind to specific proteins

  7. Mechanism of Action • Hyperpolarize neurons • Anticholingeric: suppresses nervous system communication • Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist/antagonist: suppress norepinephrine binding/release to receptor • Cardiovascular depressant • Respiratory depressant

  8. Action Potentials: Overview • Ach is a main neurotransmitter of the autonomic NS of PNS • In the CNS, excitatory actions

  9. Anesthesia Induction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VByEDXsRIFI&feature=related

  10. Inhalation Anesthetics • Diethyl ether, nitrous oxide, chloroform • Halothane • Isoflurane • Sevoflurane http://www.dreveterinary.com/catalog/images/coaxial_lg_5.jpg http://www.asbestos.co.za/images/alveoli.jpg

  11. Diethyl ether • First anesthetic discovered • Nontoxic to organs • Unpleasant smell • Decreases possibility of action potential by decreasing rate of rise to an end-plate potential

  12. Chloroform CH(Cl)3 • Colorless and odorless • Hepatotoxin • Severe CV depressant • Cardiac arrhythemia • Aka Sudden Sniffer’s Death • Blocks flow of K+ out of the cell www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc163.htm

  13. Isoflurane • Binds to GABA receptor: enhances inhibitory synapses • Lets more Cl- into the cell • Competitive glycine inhibitor: agonist for N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor • Pre-medicate with a barbiturate • Dog: 2.0-2.5% isoflurane concentration (in oxygen) • Horse: 3.0-5.0% isoflurane concentration (in oxygen) • Can keep it on a low concentration throughout the procedure

  14. Sevoflurane • Newer, more expensive than isoflurane • Dogs: Induce with 7.0% sevoflurane • Maintenance level is 3.3-3.6% with pre-medication • 3.7-4.0% maintenance concentration without pre-medication • Common pre-meds: benzodiazepine or phenothiazine • Isoflurane is safer because patient does not require as much anesthesia, can be kept lighter • Higher cardiovascular stability

  15. Injectable anesthetics Pre-anesthetics Induction anesthetics Dissociative Ketamine Tiletamine Benzodiazepines Diazepam Zolazepam Propofol Barbiturates • Mild sedative, analgesic • Acepromazine • Combine with NSAID or opiod • Medetomidine • Atipamezole

  16. Pharmacokinetics of Injectable Anesthetics • Partition into the highly lipophilic tissues of the brain and spinal cord • Produce rapid anesthesia • Immediate low concentrations of anesthetic in blood stream causes the drug to leave the CNS and enter the peripheral tissues via the blood • Effect can wear off in about 10 minutes unless continuously infused

  17. Acepromazine Combination • Ace is provides strong sedation and antiemetic effects • Phenothiazine • Give with a NSAID or opiod to provide anagesic effects • 6-8 hours of activity • Anticholinergic, antihistamine, antispasmodic, and alpha-andrenergic blocking

  18. Acepromazine Combination Continued • Medetomidine is an NSAID • Strong sedative, strong analgesic • Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist • 45-90 minutes • Atipamezole • Reversal agent • Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist • Administer a new analgesic after reversal since ALL effects of medetomidine are reversed Norepinephrine Atipamezole Medetomidine

  19. Dissociative Anesthetics • Ketamine inhibits excitatory synapses • Dissociate: cataleptic state • Eyes open, limb movements involuntary • Serotonin, dopamine • High analgesic effects • Hypnotic state • Increases intracranial pressure and blood flow • Marketed as a racemic mixture • Partially water soluble pKa 7.5 • Highly lipophilic S (+) R (-)

  20. Benzodiazepines • Alpha-2 andrenergic receptor agonist • Binds to GABA receptor • Gamma-aminobutyric acid >20%: anxiolysis >30-50%: sedation >50%: unconsciousness • Opens Cl-channel, hyperpolarize membrane, so inhibitory • Given with ketamine to produce better anesthetic effects Diazepam

  21. Barbiturates • Pentobarbital • Derivative of barbituric acid (has no CNS activity) • Oxygen or sulfur at 2 position • Adds to CNS depressant activity • Commonly used in rats: research • Marketed as pentobarbital sodium powder • Soluble in water or alcohol, forms clear solution • Inhibits excitatory and enhances inhibitory CNS signals Pentobarbital Barbituric acid

  23. Assigned Reading • Goodman and Gilman’s Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Chapter 13, pp. 341-363

  24. Homework Questions • Draw the structure of propofol, the most commonly used anesthetic in the US. • Propofol is not water soluble, thus has to be constituted in an emulsion-like mixture of soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. Circle the structural features responsible for its water insolubility. • Halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane are commonly used inhalation anesthetics. Draw their structures • Draw and label the R and S stereoisomers of ketamine. • Which stereoisomer of ketamine has more psychic emergence? Which stereoisomer contributes more analgesic and anesthetic effects? • Thiopental (pentobarbital), thiamylal, methohexital are all derivatives of barbituric acid. Draw their structures and that of the parent structure barbituric acid.
