and Sedation

Agitation
Psychomotor agitation observed in the injured may be
caused by :
Patient requierments
Manager of the rescue party (physician) should
consider whether the patient requires:
intravenous
intratracheal
combined.
Emergency Anaesthesia
Dangers connected with anaesthesia in emergency
conditions:
weakness of reaction from respiratory tract (risk of
vomiting or regurgitation and then gastric content
aspiration to respiratory tract)
hypoventilation decrease of respiratory drive (in those
breathing spontaneously)
hypotonia (concerns patients with heavy loss of blood
and the aged)
laryngospasm
limitations in the evaluation of the patients general
condition (concern particularly patients with
accompanying central nervous system injury and
poisoned with chemicals).
Examination
Diagnostic methods used in a patient the victim of the
accident:
precise clinical and neurological examination (related to
the mechanism of the accident; example: the use of
safety bests, etc.)
head computed tomography (on the way to hospital if
necessary, in every injured patient who lost
consciousness or had a head injury)
X-ray of: cervical thoracic and pelvic spine and then USG
of abdominal cavity in emergency ward
additional examinations are decided by a specialist in the
given field.
state of consciousness
arterial blood saturation (pulsoxymetry) SpO2
arterial blood pressure determined by noninvasive method NiBP
heart rate HR
body temperature
electrocardiogram ECG
respiratory parameters (respiration frequency, tidal volume, oxygen concentration
in respiratory mixture, respiratory technique).
NSAID
Nonsteroid analgesics have a LIMITED application due to:
level of analgesia is limited by the so called ceiling effect
(increase if the dose above a certain value does not
increase analgesic action)
except paracetamol, they exert an effect on the level of
peripheral nervous system (inhibit prostaglandins
production by blocking cyclooxygenase)
cause decreased blood platelets adhesion increasing the
risk of bleeding
ADVANTAGES:
lack of psychic tolerance
lack of physical tolerance
Opioids
OPIOIDS are the base of analgesic therapy, preferred
administration is INTRAVENOUS.
Analgesic action is obtained by administration:
loading dose (withdrawing pain)
maintenance doses:
in boluses (at precisely determined time,
independently on pain complaints)
in continuous infusion.
Opioids
Opioids
Opioids administered on emergency are mainly piperidine derivatives
(short time of action); it is related to easy control, quick regression
of action and thus possible side effects; slight histamine release is an
adventage of these drugs.
Drugs:
Fentanil; Fenanyl; amp. 1 ml = 0.05 mg; 2 and 10 ml; initial
dose 1 5 g/kg; continuous intravenous infusion 1 9
g/kg/h; there is a risk of drug cumulation.
Alfentanil; Rapifen; 1 ml = 0.5 mg; initial dose 15 20 g/kg;
continuous infusion 1 3 g/kg/min; 4 x weaker than fenantyl.
Sufentanil; Sufenta; 1 ml = 0.005 mg and 1 ml = 0.05 mg; initial
dose 0.005 mg/kg; continuous infusion 0.003 0.005 mg/kg/h;
10 x stronger than fentanyl
Remifentanil; Ultiva; amp. 1, 2 and 5 mg; bolus 0.5 1 g/kg b.m.
administered in the time of 30 sec or continuous infusion at
0.025 2 g/kg b.m./min; half-life time 10 min.

Sedation intravascular general anaesthetics
Barbiturates
metohexital (Brietal); vial 0.5 each ; preparation: 50 ml
distilled water is added (solution 1% that is 1 ml = mg);
dosage 1 2 mg/kg b.m.; continuous infusion 0.05 0.15
mg/kg/min
tiopental (Pentothal) vial 0.5g and 1g each; preparation:
20 ml of distilled water is added, getting the solution 2.5%
(1 ml = 25 mg), or 5% (1 ml = 50 mg); continuous
infusion 4 8 mg/kg/h.
Etomidat (Hypnomidate); amp. 20 mg in 10 ml; dosage: 0.1
0.3 mg/kg b.m.
Propofol (Diprivan); amp. 1 ml = 10 mg; amp. 20 ml each;
dosage 1.5 2.5 mg/kg b.m.; continuous infusion 1 4
mg/kg/h.
