Lecture Objectives..Students at the end of the
lecture will be able to

• Define general Anaesthesia
• Learn about several agents used on induction of
  general anaesthesia including intravenous agents,
  inhalation agents, neuromuscular blocking agents
  and reversal agents.
• Understand basic advantages and disadvantages of
  these agents.
• Complications commonly encountered during general
  anaesthesia

3
General anesthetics have been performed since
1846 when Morton demonstrated the first
anesthetic (using ether) in Boston, USA. Local
anesthetics arrived later, the first being
scientifically described in1884.
4
General anesthesia is described as a reversible
state of unconsciousness with inability to
respond to a standardized surgical stimulus. In
modern anesthetic practice this involves the
triad of unconsciousness, analgesia, muscle
relaxation.
5
Anesthetic plan

• A good anesthetic begins with a good plan.
• There is no rigid format for planning anesthesia.
  
• Each plan is adapted to each case.
• The fundamental goal of anesthetic management is
• to provide safety,
• comfort and convenience, first for the patient
  and second for those caring for the patient.

6
Anesthetic plan

• After a good plan, a good preparation is required
  for a good anesthetic.
•  Before every anesthetic, every anesthesiologist
  should go through a checklist of necessary items
  including,
• anesthesia machine,
• ventilator,
• oxygen and nitrous supply check,
• suction device,
• monitors and anesthesia cart.  

7
Anesthetic plan

• Before bringing the patient to the operating
  room,
• the proper verification of patient's identity,
• the planned procedure and
• the site of the procedure should be carried out
  by the anesthesiologist.
• All the preparations should be completed before
  the patient enters the room including the
  placement of a working peripheral intravenous
  line.

8
Anesthetic plan

• The primary goals of general anesthesia are
• to maintain the health and safety of the patient
  while providing amnesia, hypnosis (lack of
  awareness), analgesia, and optimal surgical
  conditions (e.g., immobility).
• Preoperative planning involves
• the integration of pre-,
• intra-, and
• postoperative care.
• Flexibility is an essential
• multiple approaches to
• induction,
• maintenance, and
• emergence should be considered.

Anesthetic plan

• Preoperative planning involves the integration
  of
• pre-,
• intra-, and
• postoperative care.
• Flexibility is an essential
• Multiple approaches to
• induction,
• maintenance, and
• emergence should be considered.

10
Anesthetic plan

• The plan should include the following
• A premedication.
• Need standard ASA monitors. However, if the
  patient may experience large hemodynamic
  fluctuations, invasive monitoring should be
  considered (e.g., central venous pressure for
  volume monitoring, arterial line for potential
  hemodynamic instability).
• A review of anesthetic options general
  anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and combinations
  thereof should be reviewed and options
  appropriate for the patient listed in the final
  assessment.
• Plan for postoperative pain control.

11
NPO status

• NPO, Nil Per Os, means nothing by mouth
• Solid food 8 hrs before induction
• Liquid 4 hrs before induction
• Clear water 2 hrs before induction
• Pediatrics stop breast milk feeding 4 hrs
• before induction

Premedication

• Guidelines for prophylaxis for pulmonary
  aspiration
• Histamine (H2) antagonists
• Cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac),
  significantly reduce the volume and the acidity
  of gastric secretions.
• Metoclopramide (Reglan) enhances gastric emptying
• Midazolam (Versed) provides excellent amnesia and
  sedation.
• Lorazepam (Ativan) may also be used but can cause
  more prolonged amnesia and postoperative
  sedation. It should not be given intramuscularly.
• Opioids are not usually given as premedication
  unless the patient has significant pain

14
THE MONITORS

• Standard ASA monitoring -
• Oxygenation (oxygen analyzer, pulse oximetry)
• Ventilation (capnography, minute ventilation),
  respiratory rate (under regional anesthesia)
• Circulation (electrocardiogram ECG, arterial
  blood pressure, perfusion assessment),
• Temperature.

15
General Anesthesia

• Monitor
• Preoxygenation
• Induction ( including RSI cricoid pressure)
• Muscle relaxants
• Mask ventilation
• Intubation ETT position comfirmation
• Maintenance
• Emergence
