Anesthesia

Anesthesia = without sensation

an = without

aestos = sensation

A controllable and reversible condition in which sensory perception

and motor responses are both markedly depressed


General Anaesthetics
• Loss of all modalities of sensation, particularly pain
• Inhibition of autonomic reflexes
• Relaxation of skeletal muscle
• Amnesia and reversible loss of consciousness
• 1776 – Nitrous oxide (1844 used)
• 1846 – Ether general anaesthesia

Stages of Anesthesia
• 4 stages
• I - Stage of analgesia
• II – Stage of delirium
• III – stage of surgical anesthesia (Divided into 4
planes)
• IV – Respiratory paralysis
Stage of Analgesia
• Inhalation to loss of consciousness
• Sense of remoteness, falling, suffocation, visual/
auditory abberations
• Analgesia comes before loss of consciousness
• Minor surgical procedures
• Later stage I amnesia
Stage of delirium/ excitement

• From loss of consciousness to begining of surgical


anesthesia
• Excitement, shouting, increased muscular activity,
breathholding, tachyapnoea (abnormally rapid
breathing), hyperventilation (rapid or deep breathing,
usually caused by anxiety or panic
• Cortical depression: release of lower centre
• Pupil may dilate, marked hypertension, tachycardia
• Struggling, increased tone of skeletal muscle,retching,
vomitting - undesirable
Stage of surgical anesthesia

• Regular respiration, loss of relfexes, relaxation of skeletal muscle


Plane 1
• Pupil dilate progressively
• Respiration full regular, deep, thoracoabdominal
• BP, pulse rate normal
• Skeletal muscle – incomplete relaxation
• Corneal reflex present
Plane 2
• Respiration regulation, diminished amplitude
• Adequate muscle relaxation, Laryngeal reflex abolished
Stage of surgical anesthesia
Plane 3
• Beginning of asynchrony between the thoracic and
abdominal and respiratory movements
• BP falls, intercostal muscle paralysis
• Respiration assumes – Abdominal character
• Pupillary and light reflex lost
• Muscle relaxation – essentially complete
Plane 4
• Paralysis complete
• Pupil dilated
• Secretion – completely abolished
Stage of Respiratory Paralysis
• Severe depression of vital medullary centres
• Vasomotor collapse
• Respiratory arrest
• Balanced anesthesia: Rapid and smooth induction
with IV anesthetics
• Maintained with inhalational anesthetics
Stage of Respiratory Paralysis

• Inadequate anesthesia
• ANS overactivity
• grimacing or other muscle activity
• Surgical anesthesia
• loss of lid reflex
• Development of rhythmic respiration
• Deep
• Depression of respiration
• Hypotension
• Asystole

Classification of General Anesthetics

• Inhalational general anesthetics


• Volatile liquids: Diethyl ether, ethyl chloride,
trichloroethylene, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane,
desflurane, sevoflurane
• Gas: Nitrous oxide
• IV general anesthetics
• Ultrashort acting barbiturates: Thiopental sodium,
methohexital
• Propofol
• BDZ: Midazolam, diazepam
• Phencyclidine derivative: Ketamine
• Opioid analgesic: Morphine, fentanyl, sufentanil
