Antiemetic: -drugs that are used to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting.
Nausea: -Is an unpleasant sensation of abdominal discomfort accompanied by a desire to vomit.
Vomiting: -Is the expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth.
Prochlorperazine: -Effective in prevention or treating nausea and vomiting induced by drugs: radiation therapy: surgery: and most other stimuli.
Lorazepam: -often prescribed for patients who experience anticipatory n/v before administering anticancer drugs.
Hydroxyzine: -Antihistamine thought to relieve nausea and vomiting by blocking the action of acetylcholine in the brain.
Amide: -Local anesthetic agents are classified as
Ester: - Local anesthetic agents are classified as
Spinal: -This anesthesia blocks sensory impulses at the root of the peripheral nerves as thy enter the spinal cord
Epidural: -a woman in labor is mostly likely to request this anesthesia for pain control during the labor and delivery process.
Bier block: -Anesthesia is regional limb anesthesia produced by a local anesthetic and a pneumatic extremity tourniquet.
Topical: -Anesthesia involves application of local anesthetic to the skin and mucous membranes.
Lidocaine: -prototype amide local anesthetic
Dibucaine: -local anesthetic administered topically and considered safe in pregnancy because it is not absorbed systemically.
Procainehydrochloride: -prototype ester local antiesthetic.
Benzocaine: -An ester local anesthetics that is an approved OTC medication for minor skin problems.
Tetracaine: -use prior to rhinolaryngology to provide local anesthesia to the nose and throat.
General: -Type of anesthesia defined as a medication-induced reversible unconsciousness with loss of protective reflexes.
Balanced: -concept of using several drugs to achieve a state of physiologic and pharmacologic equilibrium under general anesthesia.
Induction: -The first phase of general anesthesia. Which is rendering the patient unconscious by inhalation or IV anesthetic or both.
Maintenance: -The administration of a continuous level of complete general anesthesia until the procedure is complete.
Emergence: -The concluding phase of general anesthesia where medications are stopped and the patient is permitted to wake up.
Isoflurane: -prototype inhalation anesthetic that is extremely physically stable methyl ether.
Propofol: -prototype IV anesthetic that is most widely administered IV anesthetic
Etomidate: -short acting anesthetic that appears to promote cardiovascular stability
Vecuronium: -prototype non-polarizing muscle relaxant
Succinylcholine: -primarily used for paralysis for tracheal intubation for rapid sequence induction
