1 Induction Agents 2013/05/28 1

2 Basic concepts One arm-brain circulation time Compartments Protein binding Redistribution vs. Metabolism Receptor binding 2013/05/28 2

3 One arm-brain circulation time From introduction into circulation Pharmacological effect on target organ 2013/05/28 3

4 One arm-brain circulation time Prolonged by Decreased cardiac output Old age Hypothermia Clinical implication: Inject slowly wait for effect 2013/05/28 4

5 Compartments 2013/05/28 5

6 Compartments Blood supply distribution IV induction agent Vessel rich group (brain, heart, kidney, liver) Muscle Fat Bone 2013/05/28 6

7 Protein binding All induction agents - high protein binding (>75% except ketamine -12%) Active drug = free fraction Low protein/albumin = increased free fraction Overdose!!!! Clinical implication: Half the calculated dose, inject slowly 2013/05/28 7

8 Redistribution 2013/05/28 8

9 Redistribution vs. Metabolism Redistribution From one compartment to another Decreased [] in vessel rich group Arousal hang over effect Metabolism Inactivation, breakdown in organ systems Elimination via renal, GIT 2013/05/28 9

10 Receptor binding GABA A agonists Cl - channel openers Inhibitory effect on exitation NMDA antagonists (Ketamine) Ca 2+ channel blocker 2013/05/28 10
