Propofol

---

Propofol = 2,6- diisopropyl phenol

1% / 2% emulsion in a lipid vehicle containing soybean oil, egg lecithin, and glycerol.

therefore - bacterial growth (thus discard after 6hrs)
Only IV use.

Pain on injection which can be decreased by :

1. injecting in larger vein.
2. Mixing with lignocaine
3. by cooling propofol

Other points:

• Recovery is rapid and clear (Therefore DOC for Day Care Surgery)

• Hepatic and Extrahepatic (Lungs) clearance.

• Decrease BP and Decrease Heart rate ( propofol blunts carotid body receptor response & hence no compensatory increase in heart rate)

• Causes maximum depression of upper airway reflexes (therefore DOC - for LMA insertion)

• Antiemitic & Antipruritic

• No anticonvulsant.

• Decrease IOP.(intraoccular pressure)

• AntiOxidant

• DOC in hepatic disease/Liver transplant (because it can be metabolized extrahepatic too.)

• Most Cardiostable 

• Slight decrease in BP

• Maximum incidence of post op Nausea and Vomiting.

• lacks Analgesic property.

• Causes AdrenoCortical depression - therefore inhibit steroid - therefore mortality - thus Withdrawn.

---

Ketamine

---

Ketamine (Phencyclidine derivative):

Dissociative anaesthesia i.e dissociates thalamus from limbic system.

Metabolized in Liver to Nor-Ketamine (this also has anaesthetic potency)

CVS : 

• Increase HR, BP and Cardiac Output. (Therefore DOC for Hypovolumic shock patients)
• Myocardial O2 demand increases -- therefore avoid in Ishaemic heart disease , Hypertention and aortic aneurysm.

Respiratory system : 

• Minimal effect
• Potent Bronchodialator (therefore agent of choice in Asthma)
• Maintain upper airway reflex (therefore DOC for Full stomach patients)
• increases salivation (thus Anticholinergics are given to reduce this)

CNS :

• Increase cerebral O2 consumption (therefore contraindicated in Space occupying lesion and Head injury)
• Increases ICT
• causes hallucinations (decreased by BZDs)
• causes increase in IntraOccular Pressure (therefore Contraindicated in Glaucoma patients)
• NDMR are potentiated by ketamine.

Strongly analgesic. Therefore - Other uses:

Benzodiazepines

---

Benzodiazepine 

Barbiturates produce their pharmacological effects by increasing the duration of chloride ion channel opening at the GABA_A eceptor (pharmacodynamics: This increases the efficacy of GABA), 

whereas 

Benzodiazepines increase the frequency of the chloride ion channel opening at the GABA_A receptor (pharmacodynamics: This increases the potency of GABA).

Diazepam : Oil based , IM painful

Midazolam : Water Soluble , can be used as Anticonvulsant

                      It is the 1st drug to decrease seizures in ICU.

Awakening due to redistribution.

CVS : Minimal CVS depression.

Respiratory syatem : decrease Ventilatory response to CO2

• Diazepam : Retrograde Amnesia

• Midazolam : Anterograde Amnesia

They decrease MAC by 30%

---

Methohexitol

---

Methohexitol ( is a barbiturate derivative)

 MOA : binds to a distinct site which is associated with Cl− ionophores at GABA_A receptors and increases the length of time which the Cl− ionopores are open, thus causing an inhibitory effect.

Important points :

• Drug of Choice (DOC) for ECT

• It is a ProConvulsant

Thiopentone

---

Thiopentone = Sodium Thiopental
Thiopental, a barbiturate, is used for the induction of anesthesia

First used in 1934 by Lundy' and Waters

Yellow amorphous powder.

pH 10.5 - 11 , therefore not to be given with Normal Saline & RL

Dose - 3-5mg/kg ;  Route: IV

Adequate induction dose will cause loss of eyelash reflex.

Used in concentration of 2.5%

Given Commonly at outer aspect of forearm (Never in anticubital fossa)

If Concentration >2.5%

• Pain on injection
• Venous thrombosis

Mechanism of action :

• depress RAS
• binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABA_A  receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged.

Duration of action 

• Determined by redistribution (not by elemination)
• Patient looses consciousness in 30 sec and regains in 20 min.
• With repeated doses - duration depends on elimination (Metabolized in Liver)

Systemic effects:

• Decrease BP (Compensatory increase in Heart Rate)
• Decreased response to hypoxia & hypercarbia.
• Apnea (Treat with Positive pressure resp. -  IPPV)
• Decrease Tidal Volume and Respiratory Rate 
• Can cause bronchospasm & laryngospasm
• Decreases Cerebral blood flow
• Decreases Cerebral O2 consumption ( Therefore Cerebroprotective ; DOC - in Head Injury )
• Lowers threshold for pain ( it is AntiAnalgesic)
• Does not cause Muscle relaxation
• Powerful anticonvulsant (refractory seizures can respond to it)
• Decreases Renal blood flow and GFR
• Crosses Placenta and has some antithyroid activity.

It is Microsomal enzyme inducer.

Induction of hepatic enzymes increase the rate of metabolism.

Contraindications:

Acute Intermittent Porphyria and Variegate Porphyria

Can be used in Porphyria Cutaneous Tarda

---

In case of inadvertent intra-arterial injection (eg: if in anticubital fossa)

• pain , 
• blanching hand , 
• absent radial pulse , 
• Secondary thrombosis

Treatment -

Limb Buds

Lower limb buds bulge from the lateral aspect of which segments of the trunk ?

a. C5-T1

b. T7-L2

c. L1-S5

d. L2-S2

ANSWER:

Ans: D
The upper and lower limbs develop from limb buds that arise from the lateral body wall during the 4th and 5th weeks, respectively.
Upper limb -> C5 - T1 segments.
During the 5th week, lower limb buds bulge from the lateral aspect of the L2 - S2 segments of the trunk.
Also, during the seventh week of gestation the limbs rotate in opposite directions. The upper limb rotates 90◦ laterally, so that the extensor muscles lie on the lateral and posterior surface and the thumbs lie laterally, whereas the lower limb rotates approximately 90◦ medially, placing the extensor muscles on the anterior surface and the big toe medially.

Biphasic pattern on histology

“ Biphasic pattern” on histology is seen in which tumor:
a. Rhabdomyosarcoma
b. Synovial cell sarcoma
c. Osteosarcoma
d. Neurofibroma

ANSWER:

Correct Ans : B

Other biphasic tumors are Epithelioid sarcoma, Mesothelioma
Triphasic tumor is Wilms' tumor

Lets see why most people think osteosarcoma here--
Osteosarcoma shows Biphasic Pattern of "INCIDENCE" , its not the histology.
A biphasic pattern of incidence of osteosarcoma has been observed; peaks have been noted among adolescents (rapid growth of long bones) and in the elderly (secondary tumors arising in association with Paget disease or within previously irradiated tissue).

d. Extensor carpi radialis longus.

Wrongly answered at various places as option C.

Option C is NOT the answer here.

We had already answered this with proper explanation on our facebook notes.

On request of our readers - we are reposting the question with explanation here.

ANSWER:

Ans: D

Explanation from Gray's Anatomy -- Compiled and edited by DrShiviMudgal (Director/Admin @MedicoNotebook)

The interossei are muscles between and attached to the metacarpals.

They insert into the proximal phalanx of each digit and into the extensor hood and are divided into two groups, the dorsal interossei and the palmar interossei. All of the interossei are innervated by the deep branch of the ulnar nerve. Collectively, the interossei abduct and adduct the digits and contribute to the complex flexion and extension movements generated by the extensor hoods.

 Dorsal interossei

 Dorsal interossei are the most dorsally situated of all of the intrinsic muscles and can be palpated through the skin on the dorsal aspect of the hand (Fig. 7.99). There are four bipennate dorsal interosseous muscles between, and attached to, the shafts of adjacent metacarpal bones (Fig. 7.99). Each muscle inserts both into the base of the proximal phalanx and into the extensor hood of its related digit.

The tendons of the dorsal interossei pass dorsal to the deep transverse metacarpal ligaments:

• the first dorsal interosseous muscle is the largest and inserts into the lateral side of theindex finger;
• the second and third dorsal interossei insert into the lateral and medial sides, respectively, of the middle finger;
• the fourth dorsal interosseous muscle inserts into the medial side of the ring finger. 

Palmar interossei

The first palmar interosseous muscle originates from the medial side of the palmar surface of metacarpal I and inserts into both the base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb and into the extensor hood. A sesamoid bone often occurs in the tendon attached to the base of the phalanx.

The second palmar interosseous muscle originates from the medial surface of metacarpal II and inserts into the medial side of the dorsal expansion of the index finger.

The third and fourth palmar interossei originate from the lateral surfaces of metacarpals IV and V and insert into the lateral sides of the respective dorsal hoods.

 Like the tendons of the dorsal interossei, the tendons of the palmar interossei pass dorsal to the deep transverse metacarpal ligaments.

The palmar interossei adduct the thumb, index, ring, and little fingers with respect to a long axis through the middle finger. The movements occur at the metacarpophalangeal joints. Because the muscles insert into the dorsal hoods, they also produce complex flexion and extension movements of the digits

Extensor carpi radialis longus -- Extends and abducts the wrist

Extensor indicis -- Extends index finger
