PHARMACOKINETICS
For example
The initial large volume uptake of N2O accelerates the
uptake of oxygen or volatile anaesthetics
Halothane 2 Absorption 2 Movement 1 2
O2 18 of 50%N2O 18 of gas from 9 18
80 40 40 40
N2O 100
i.e 40 trachea to
60 110
Total molecules fill the void
↓
Slows establishment of PA
↓
Slow induction of Anesthesia
Greater the alveolar ventilation to FRC ratio, more
rapid is the rate of increase of PA.
1.SOLUBLE
2.INTERMEDIATELY SOLUBLE
3.POORLY SOLUBLE
Inhaled anesthetics with high blood solubility slows
rate of ↑e in PA, Pa and induction of anesthesia
↓
Rapid increase in PA and Pa
Delayed induction
Low cardiac output increased alveolar concentration
anaesthetic overdose
