- Objectives: During this course the students will have the opportunity to:
1. Interpret the general principles of uptake and distribution of inhalation anesthetic agents.
2. Compare the pharmacological and clinical use of the modern inhalation anesthetics.
3. Evaluate the pharmacological and clinical usage of various narcotic agents used in anesthesia including narcotic antagonists, tolerance, and addiction.
4. Distinguish the pharmacological and clinical use of non-narcotic agents used in anesthesia, including the barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and non-barbiturate induction drugs.
5. Examine the indication for the use of various induction agents, local anesthetics, anticholinesterase and anticholinergic drugs, muscle relaxants, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
6. Discuss the effect of psychopharmacological therapy, chemotherapy, nutritional therapy and antiepileptic drugs upon anesthesia care.
7. Discuss the effect and appropriate choice of antibiotics and antiviral agents utilized in surgical care.
