Historically, anaesthesia was by inhalation However, patients frequently passed through stage

of hyperexcitability Guedel termed this stage 2. Chloral hydrate was first IV agent(1870s) IV route not popular until 1930s, with the use of barbiturates.

Pharmacokinetics basics
By knowing VD ,T1/2 calculate dose required and dosing

interval to attain serum therapeutic level VD (Vol of distrn) = dose/conc of drug; after bolus (VC) at steady state (SS) after infusion (Vss). Clearance = Elimination * VD. The desired conc for therapeutic effect (Cp) Loading dose = Cpss * VC ;Bolus = (Cnew - Cactual) * VC Inf rate to maintain SS= Cpss * Clearance
M: LBM = 1.1 * wt - 128 * {wt/ht} F: LBM = 1.07 * wt 148 * {wt/ht}

19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 19

Propofol
Propofol has antiemetic, antipruritic, and anticonvulsant properties. Hypotension secondary to a drop in systemic vascular resistance, contractility, and preload. Hypotension is more pronounced than with thiopental. Propofol markedly impairs the normal arterial baroreflex response to hypotension. excitatory side effects such as myoclonus.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

Propofol
Causes profound respiratory depression. Depression of upper airway reflexes exceeds that of thiopental. Venous irritation: Pain on injection is more common than with thiopental.Reduced by Concomitant lidocaine, administering through more proximal IV line. not licensed for use in children < 3 years-reports of unexpected deaths -due to metabolic acidosis and myocardial failure after long-term use in ICU.

the patient is unconscious but


appears awake and doesnt feel pain.
It has anesthetic and

analgesic effect

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

26

KETMINE Mechanism of action There are 3 theories explains the MOA of ketamines :

1 N-methyl aspartate receptor theory : NMDA receptors may represent a subgroup of the sigma opiate receptors (the PCP site) that blocks spinal pain reflexes. 2 Opiate receptor theory : Ketamine may have some affinity for opiate receptors,mu,kappa,delta; but its effect cant be reversed with naloxone. 3- Miscellaneous receptor theory : It reacts with muscarinic, cholinergic and serotonergic receptors. Ketamine is a potent analgesic at subanesthetic plasma concentrations. It has a wide margin of safety ( up to 10x the usual dose )
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 27

CNS :

KETMINE Pharmacodynamics

1. ketamine increases cerebral oxygen consumption, cerebral blood flow, and intracranial pressure 2- generalized increase in the muscle tone and purposful movements. 3- Unpleasant dreams, hallucinations or frank delirium (esp. females & large doze of ketamine). incidence of dilirium in 15-35 year old pts is approx. 20%

Respiratory system:
It preserves laryngeal &pharyngeal airway reflexes. Ketamine is a potent bronchodilator

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

28

CVS:

KETMINE Pharmacodynamics

It produces central sympathetic stimulation,

which increases: 1. arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output. 2. Pulmonary artery pressure. 3. Coronary blood flow. 4. Myocardail oxygen uptake. It may cause myocardial depression if the sympathetic nervous sys is exhausted or blocked.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 29

GI GU

KETMINE Pharmacodynamics

Minimal anorexia, nausea & vomiting.

Placental transfer does occur, but neonatal depression hasnt been observed if the doze is limited to < 1 mg/kg.

Muscle system
Generalized increase in skeletal muscle tone. Increases the effects of muscle relaxants.

Endocrine Sys.
Increased sympathetic stimulation increased blood

glucose, increased plasma cortisol, increased heart rate.


19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 30

KETMINE Indications
1- sole anesthetic for diagnosis and surgical procedures
2- induction of anesthesia

3- to supplement regional or local anesthetic techniques


4- for anesthetic induction in severe asthmatic pts. Or patients with cardiovascular collapse requiring emergency surgery
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 31

1- lack of knowledge of the drug

KETMINE Contraindications

2- lack of resuscitative equipment 3- inability to maintain a patent airways 4- allergy to ketamine 5- history of psychosis 6- cerebro-vascular disease 7- Patients. For whom hypertention is hazardous
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 32

ETOMIDATE
Carboxylated imidazole.watersol at phys pH
Only D-isomer is actve 0.2%soln.35% propylene glycol,pH 8.1-painful,little

risk of pptn. 10ml ampoule,2mg/ml Acts on GABA,no intrinsic analgesic activity 75% prot binding,rapid onset 30sec, Metabolised to inactive carboxylic acid metabolitehepatic enzymes and plasma esterases, kidney elimn. Dose .3mg/kg
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 33

Cardiostable,not sympathomimetic like ketamine


Pain on injection,no histamine release. increases epileptogenic activity in patients with seizure

foci. frequent myotonic activity during induction, decreased by opioid or benzodiazepine premedication. The incidence of nausea and vomiting seems to be more common with etomidate than others inhibition of corticoid synthesis by reversible block of 11-beta-hydroxylase.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

34

Benzodiazepines
Features which result in their popularity as

adjuvant IV anaesthetic agents: 1 amnesia 2 minimal cardiarespiretory depressant effect. 3 anticonvulsant activity. 4 low incidence of tolerance and dependence.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 35

Benzodiazepines
They inhibit the actions of glycine (by increasing the

conc. Of a glycine inhibitory neurotransmitter) which will lead to antianxiety and skeletal muscle relaxant effects. 2 Bind to GABA ,increase Cl- conductance , facilitate the actions of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA
Benzodiazepines are highly lipid soluble. Midazolam (Versed) exhibits

significant lipid solubility, following injection, because the previously open imidazole ring closes at physiological pH (7.4).

They are highly protein bound (albumin). They are metabolized by the liver through conjugation with

glucoronic acid and excreted by the kidneys. Midazolam and Diazepam are the most commonly used benzodiazepines during operative procedures. cause anterograde amnesia
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 36

Benzodiazepines Midazolam and diazepam


They are commonly used to provide:

IV sedation.amnesia. reducing anxiety.


structure composed of a benzene ring, fused to a seven-member diazepine ring Both diazepam and lorazepam are insoluble in water, and therefore require solubilizing agents, while the imidazole ring renders midazolam water soluble
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 37

Midazolam and diazepam


THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM
Midazolam is 2-3 times more potent than diazepam: The dose for IV conscious sedation: 0.5 3 mg up to 0.1 mg/kg for midazolam, and 1-10 mg for diazepam. The dose for inducing anesthesia: 0.2 0.4 mg/kg for midazolam , and 0.15-1.5 mg/kg for diazepam. Midazolam has a more rapid onset, greater amnestic effect, less postoperative sedative effects than diazepam.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 38

Benzodiazepines Midazolam and diazepam


THE DIFFERENCES
Pain on injection and thrombophlebitis is less likely with midazolam . Elimination half time for midazolam range from 1-4 hours, and for diazepam from 21-37 hours.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

39

Benzodiazepine antagonists (Flumazenil)


Its an imidazobenzodiazepine. Antagonizes by copetative inhibition. Its elimination half-time is1hour, considerably less

than most benzodiazepines; therefore we will need


repeated administrations of flumazenil to antagonize a benzodiazepine with a longer halftime.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

40

Benzodiazepine antagonists (Flumazenil)

The usual initial dose is 0.2 mg over 15 seconds, if the desired level of consiousness is not obtained within one minute of administration we can give repeated doses of 0.1 mg every minute up to the maximum of 2 mg, and if sedation recurs we can use infusions of 0.1-0.4 mg/hour. The most common side effect is nausea (4%)

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

41

Narcotic Agonists
Opium derived

from dried juice of poppy plant which contains over 20 plant alkaloids. including morphine & codiene.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

42

Narcotic Agonists Site of Action


Opioid receptors are predominantly located in the: Brain stem (amygdala, corpus striatum, periaqueductal gray matter and medulla),Spinal cord(substantia gelatinosa), GIT

3 types of receptors: Mu receptors (): analgesia, resp depression, euphoria, & physical dependence. Kappa receptors (K): analgesia, sedation, resp depression, miosis. Sigma receptors(a): dysphoria, hallucination, tachypnea, tachycardia.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 43

Narcotic Agonists Pharmacokinetics

Rapid distribution through the body

following IV injection.
Its metabolized by the liver and the

majority of the inactive metabolites are

excreted unchanged in the urine.


19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 44

Narcotic Agonists Pharmacodynamics


Sedation through interfering with sensory perception of painful stimuli. Large doses produce unconsciousness but they are generally incapable of producing anesthesia and it cant guarantee total amnesia. It may produce nausea & emesis through stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 45

Narcotic Agonists Pharmacodynamics Dose related depression of respiratory rate and minute ventilation and increase the tidal volume which will lead to a slow deep respiration. Reversed by naloxone administration.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

46

Narcotic Agonists Pharmacodynamics

CVS
Opioids have little myocardial depressant effect With either N2O or benzodiazepines may depress

cardiac output. They decrease SVR,either by decreasing sympathetic outflow or by releasing histamine (as morphine) Synthetic opioids are less likely to release histamine. They produce bradycardia by stimulation vagal nucleus in the brain stem.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 47

Narcotic Agonists Pharmacodynamics


Slow GI mobility-constipation,post op ileus. Increase biliary tract tone -biliary colic with patients with bile stones. Increases the bladder sphincters tone urine retention. Anaphylactic reactions, bronchospasm, chest wall rigidity and pruritis.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

48

Narcotic Agonists Fentanyl and Morphine Fentanyl -most narcotic agent used during induction of anaesthesia due to its rapid onset (highly lipid soluble) and predictable duration of action (30 minutes). Morphine is used in the perioperative period to provide long lasting analgesia

Narcotic Antagonists (Naloxone)


Naloxone competes with opioids at the mu, delta,

kappa and sigma receptors. Ampules of 0.02, 0.4 and 1 mg/ml. Peak effect 1-2 min. Duration of action 30-60 min. Used in perioperative surgical patients with excessive sedation or respiratory sedation secondary to opioids.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

51

Narcotic Antagonists (Naloxone)


Given in small incremental doses. High doses of naloxone will result in sudden reversal of analgesic effects leading to abrupt return of pain resulting in hypertension, tachycardia, pulmonary edema, ventricular dysrhythmias and cardiac arrests. If sedation or respiratory depression recurs, continuous infusion of 3-10 micg/kg/hour of naloxone is required.
52

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

Agents of research interest


Dexmedetomidine -alpha 2-adrenoreceptor agonist with sedative and analgesic properties. Used via infusion (for up to 24 hours). Antisympathetic effects -cardiovascular stability Used as an adjunct to other anaesthetics

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

53

Current clinical practice - focused on two compounds, midazolam and propofol. Why then look for new compounds? The answer is both have limitations. Have relatively steep doseresponse curves Propofol causes pain on injection,also supports bacterial growth,causes haemodynamic depression,occasionally causes excitation

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

54

Midazolam has a slow, time-to-peak effect has an active metabolite, 1-hydroxymidazolam CNS7056 is a new esterase-hydrolysed benzodiazepine with rapid onset, short duration of action, and a fast recovery profile in animal models JM-1232 () evaluated in man as MR04A3 is a novel isoindoline derivative benzodiazepine receptor site agonist fully reversible by flumazenil Both onset and offset times were faster than literature values for midazolam
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 55

Etomidate Derivatives
Improved understanding of action at a molecular level

chemical modification to allow esterase hydrolysis Potentiates GABAA receptor activation. receptors are pentameric with two binding sites Methanethiosulphate-etomidate (MTS-etomidate) forms covalent bond to one binding site Considered a molecular probe to interrogate the binding site

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

56

Methoxycarbonyl-etomidate -MOC-etomidate-rapidly

metabolized. Only during infusion adrenocortical depression Anaesthesia induced by MOC-etomidate is doseindependent Infusion require a substantial mass of drug with subsequent metabolism to carboxylic acid and methanol Its proper evaluation requires human exposure
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 57

Carboetomidate
In contrast, offers a pharmacodynamic

solutionremoving the nitrogen atom from etomidate massively decreases adrenocortical depression
What is unclear is whether the unwelcome effects

of etomidatemyoclonus and nausea and vomiting remain unchanged

propanidid ,tested in man by bolus injection and infusion with 4 studies registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov,
PF0713, (R, R)-2,6-di-sec-butylphenol, similar to

propofol but with larger sidechain, slower onset of action and longer duration ,without pain on injection due to reduction in the aqueous phase concentration

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

59

Fospropofol
Is a phosphate pro-drug for propofol -converted to

propofol in a few minutes of i.v. injection. -time-topeak effect is longer, recovery slower (FDA) approved for 'moderate sedation'. does not cause pain on injection ,water soluble However perineal pain or paraesthesia

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

60

! One approach to containing drug costs


Use a cheap agent for induction and maintenance

switch to a more expensive short-acting agent towards the end of surgery for rapid recovery
Perhaps, a truly short-acting benzodiazepine agonist,

or one with a faster onset than midazolam, might allow benzodiazepine anaesthesia to be revisited.

19/04/2012

Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

61

Target Controlled Infusion


Improved administration technique based on

pharmacokinetics Infusion pump technology, better estimations of effect site conc* facilitated TCI Set initial target blood (or effect site) conc required based on BWt Blood (or effect site) conc display estimates from large trials

*concentration of agent in the brain for any given blood concentration


19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 62

Determine for each drug PK data set, simulation of

the conc obtained with a given dosage. choose the drug that servesbest. calculate optimal dosing schemes to obtain a blood or effect site conc in the therapeutic range rapidly with minimal overshooting. Couple the pharmacokinetic information with a computer-controlled administration device: TCI systems, blood conc or effect-site conc controlled.
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed 63

Target conc are calculated, not measured. TCI maintain 3 superimposed infusions, one at a constant

rate to replace drug elimn and second exponentially decreasing infusions to match drug removed from central compartment to others At present there is no method of measuring drug concns real time analogous to the ET volatile concn

Using Technology to Support Drug Administration


TCI of propofol has been adopted worldwide with the

exception of the USA Generic or 'open' TCI -implement published TCI remains strictly 'open loop', -No feedback of an effect measure to TCI system The Open TCI initiative, www.opentci.org, brings together academics and manufacturers to share data and develop best practice in TCI. Currently available

19/04/2012

The choice of math model and the question of its

appropriateness to the individual patient remain the responsibility of the anaesthetist Closed-loop anaesthesia has been the subject of considerable research but has not been developed commercially

Chirality and anaesthetic drugs


Enantiomers are molecules

that exist as Rt-handed and Lt-handed forms -nonsuperimposable mirror Dextro propoxyphene images. Analgesic Such compounds are also said to be chiral Diastereoisomers refer to stereoisomeric compounds not enantiomeric,
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

Levo Antitussive

71

more than half of

synthetic agents are chiral Administered as racemic mixture, i.e. two virtually separate drugs are being given at the same time with different pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
19/04/2012 Dr. Vithal Dhulkhed

Group priority (atomic size) is indicated as A>B>C>D, A representing the largest size.

72

Potential advantages -an increase in the selectivity,

improved therapeutic index and less drug interactions Total plasma Cl and the VDss were significantly greater for R-thiopental than for S-thiopental It has twice potentiation of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) at GABA A receptors Different adverse effect profiles
