Term
topiramate MOA (4)
Definition
GABAergic, inhibits Na channels, inhibits carbonic anhdrase, inhibits AMPA receptors
Term

Term
anesthetic that is particularly arrhythmogenic and flammable, high risk of malignant hyperthermia
Definition
halothane
Term
very high MAC, not a vapor
Definition
nitrous oxide
Term
MOA of inhaled anesthetics (2)
Definition
increases GABA and Gly release presynaptically; decreases sensitivity of NMDA receptors postsynaptically
Term
anesthetic that is a bronchodilator, does not change systemic vascular resistance
Definition
isoflurane
Term
ether that causes seizures
Definition
enflurane
Term
ether indicated for children, causes less airway irritation
Definition
sevoflurane
Term
MOA: keeps GABA channel open longer, GABA-independent
Definition
barbituates
Term
AE: CNS depressant, respiratory depression; decreases CO but not change in PVR; indicated for anesthesia in brain trauma
Definition
thiopental, methohexital
