3. Stages of general anesthesia
1. Stage of analgesia & Amnesia
2. Stage of delirium or excitement
3. Stage of anesthesia chirurgical
(anesthesia for surgery)
4. Stage of medullary paralysis respirations
(intoxication, respiratory arrest)
4. I. stage of Analgesia &
Amnesia
• This stage is in between induction of
anesthesia to the loss consciousness.
• Pain is progressively abolished during this
stage .
• Patient remains conscious can hear and see
and feel dream like state .
• All reflexes are present and respiration is
normal .
• It difficult to maintain –used to short
procedure only .
• Suitable for dental surgery & obstetrical
Procedure . Like Burn And Small Stitching.
5. II. Stage of Excitation
• From the loss of consciousness to beginning of regular
respiration.
• Excitement and patient may shout , struggle and hold his
breath .
• Muscle tone increase and jaw are slightly closed.
• Breathing is jerky , vomiting and involuntary micturition or
defecation may occur.
• Heart rate and B.P. may rise and pupil dilate may
sympathetic stimulation .
• No stimulus or operative procedure carried out during this
stage.
• Breathing are commonly seen , potentially dangerous
response can occur during this stage including vomiting ,
laryngospasm, uncontrolled movement.
• This stage can found in modern anaesthesia, preanaesthetic
medication ,rapid induction.
6. III. Stage of Anesthesia Chirurgical
(surgery)
• Extend from onset of regular respiration to
cessation of spontaneous berating . This has been
divide into four plane.
Plane 1 : Roving eye ball. This plane ends when eye
become fixed.
Plane 2 : Loss of corneal and pharyngeal reflexes.
Plane 3 : Pupil start dilate and light reflex is lost .
Plane 4 : Intercostal paralysis , shallow abdominal
respiration , pupil are dilated
Dilate pupil
Normal pupil
7. IV. Stage of Medullary Paralysis :
• It is stage of overdose beyond the stage of surgical
anaesthetisia in which medullary centers completely
paralyzed.
• It is characterized by stoppage of breathing , fall of blood
pressure to the zero level and cardiovascular collapse. It
leads to death.
• Vigorous and prompt measure only , can save the patient
from this passage .
DEATH

17. # Chloroform :
Physical Properties :
• It is clear , volatile liquid of boiling point 61º C .
• It is non-explosive liquid which is unstable on
storage .
• It has sweet , appreciable smell.
• It marked in brown coloured bottles to avoid
oxidation by light . It also decomposes in the
presence of flame to form phosgene.
18. Pharmacological action
• Chloroform is highly potent drug which produce all stages of
anaesthesia , without causing hypoxia.
• Just 1 % concentration of chloroform in inspired air is
sufficient for induction of anaesthesia.
• Surgical anaesthesia achieved in 2 to 3 Min.
• Care should be taken to dilute the vapor with pure air to avoid
the possibility of over – dosage .
• First indication of overdose is circulatory collapse.
• Chloroform produce arterial hypotension withoutt much
affecting the heart rate . Hypotension is caused by marked
reduction in cardiac output & may occur cardiac arrest
suddenly administered .
• Chloroform gives cooling sensation on skin i.e. rubifacient .
• Dilute chloroform solution are internally administered as
carminative.
19. Advese Effect :
1. Toxic effect on liver .
2. Repeated doses of chloroform can causes cirrhosis ,
degeneration of heart and kidney.
3. It produces hypotension . Cardiac arrest and arrhythmia.
4. Drug may be produce ventricular fibrillation as well as
respiratory arrest.
5. Drug produce intestinal motility and because of it
chances of paralytic ileus.
Intestinal motility
20. Therapeutic uses :
1. It is powerful anaesthetics agent Because of toxicity
no longer used except in obstetrical anaesthesia .
2. It is counterirritant and rubifacient .

4. Sometimes used as vehicle for excretion of organic
drug.
flavoring agent
21. Gases :
# Nitrous Oxcide :
Physical properties :
• Colourless gas , sweet odour and test , noninflammable , Non –
explosive but strongly support combustion.
• Nitrous oxide is marketed in the liquid form under 50
atmospheric pressure i9n royal blue cylinder.
Advt :
• Produced rapid induction and recovery.
• Good analgesics effect hence can be used in dental practice .
Dis-Advt :
• Pre-anaesthetic medication is required as it is potent anaesthetic.
• Excitement may be violent
• Special apparatus is required.
22. Pharmacological Action :
• Mixture of nitrous oxide gas with
oxygen containing 80 % of it causes
unconsciousness and analgesia
though not full anaesthesia.
• For achieving full surgical
anaesthesia with the gas a higher
concentration ( upto 80 % ) is
necessary which cause anoxia with
cerebral damage , if the inhalation
continues for more medication and
skeletal muscle relaxant .
Anoxia
23. Advese Effect :
• The Produced by nitrous oxide may be violent in certain cases .
• The drug is known to produce hypoxia and cardiac irregularities
during anaesthesia .
• Nitrous oxide is used as supplementary anaesthetics agent .
• Administration of nitrous oxide required administration Of
preanaesthetic medicarion and skeletal muscle relaxants.
Therapeutic uses
• Commonly employed as adjunct to
other anaesthetics agent.
• It is employed for extraction tooth ,
obstetrical analgesia and for certain
painful procedures. extraction tooth
24. Contraindications :
In patient with demonstrable
collection of air in pleural,
Pericardial , Peritoneal space ,
intestinal obstruction , arterial air
embolism , chronic obstructive
airway disease and emphysema.
Dosage :
• Nitrous oxide with 25 to 30 % oxygen.
• For analgesia 50 % nitrous oxide missed
with 50 % oxygen .
25. # Cyclopropane :
Physical Properties:
• Colourless gas with sweet odour and test .
• It is available as liquid under pressure andadninistration in
closed circuit.

• Incidence of nausea and vomiting are less.
• It produced adequate muscular relaxation.
• It does not affect B.P. and
Advese Effect
• The sign if anesthesia are not clear .
• Rapid induction may produced laryngospasm ,
breath , holding , tachypnea, coughing .
• It may produced excitement and delirium .
• Stages of anashaesia is not clear ,as induction is very smooth.
• it increase capillary oozing.
27. Mechanism of action of Inhalatory
anaesthetics :
Inhaled anesthetics produce immobility via
actions on the spinal cord . There is consensus that
inhaled anesthetics produce anesthesia by
enhancing inhibitory channels and attenuating
excitatory channels, but whether or not this occurs
through direct binding or membrane alterations is
not known .
28. B) Nonvolatile intravenous anaesthertics
Advt :
• Easy to administer .
• Induction is rapid and smooth .
• Post anaesthetic complication are rare .
• Recovery is very fast .
• Respiratory and myocardial function remains unaffected.
• No irriatation of respiratory passage.
Dis-Advt :
• Usal stages of anaesthesia are not cleare.
• Coughing , apneas is common during induction,
• Muscular relaxation is very poor .
• Ingection around nerve may produces palsy ( paralysis) .
Preaperations :
• Thiopenton sodium 2.5 % solution
• Methohexitone 1 % solution
• Propenamide 4 mg/kg
• Ketamine 1.2 mg/kg
Cerebral palsy
29. # Thiopentone :
Thiopentone sodium is sodium salt of pentobarbitone
which can be uses as anaesthetics agent .
Pharmacological action :
• Nitrous oxide or pethidine together with use of muscle
relaxant .
• The drug may be used in very short operations such as
manipulations or settling of fracture , but this can be
dangerous owing to the possibility of respiratory arrest .
• The drug is commonly administered as an intravenous
injection.2.5 to 5 % solution given by intravenous
Thiopentone is rapidly distributed and act quickly on brain
and effect of an initial dose 25 mg last for about 15 minutes ,
Thus it is ultra short acting .It is poor analgesics
30. Undesirable effects :
It depress respiration and causes coughing , Laryngospasm ,
bronchospasm .
Therapeutic Uses :
It used as intravenously for induction of Anaesthesia and as a basal
anesthetics .
Contraindications :
Inability to maintain air way , hypersensitivity to barbiturates ,
cardiovascular disease , dyspnea , porphyria .
31. PREANAESTHETIC MEDICATION
The pharmacological agent when administerd externally
with an important objectives to make analsthesia mor smooth and
agreeable for the patient , the phenomenon is termed as preanaesthetic
medication.
Aimes and Objectives :
For sedation – to reduced anxiety
To obtain an additive and synergestic effect .
To minimize pre and post operative complication.
To facilitate smooth and rapid induction.
To overcome secretary effects of general anaesthetics .
It Produce synergetic effect or additive effect with anaesthetics
agent, so dose and hence toxicity of anaesthetics agent can be
reduced .
33. Basal Anesthetics :
Drug which are produce preliminary and incomplete
anaesthesia induced to prepare a surgical patient for total
anaesthesia with another agent called basal anaesthestics .
E. g.
1. Thiopentone sodium : 2% salt by I.V. After administered
patient become unconscious.
2. Tribromomethanol : It also administered as retention edema
It contain halogen , It has hepatotoxic effect
3. Paraldehyde : It also administered as retention edema.
With tranquilizer and better safety established anaesthetics
they are basal anaesthetics used recent time.
