This document discusses general anesthetics. It begins by defining general anesthetics as drugs that produce unconsciousness and loss of sensation. It then describes the four stages of general anesthesia produced by inhalation anesthetics: stage I involves analgesia; stage II involves delirium and loss of consciousness; stage III allows for surgery with unconsciousness and reflex paralysis; stage IV involves respiratory and circulatory failure. The document goes on to classify general anesthetics as volatile/inhalation or non-volatile/intravenous, and discusses the characteristics, mechanisms of action, and specific volatile and non-volatile anesthetic agents in more detail over several paragraphs.

This PPT on hypnotics and sedatives covers the Introduction, SAR classification and mechanism of action of drugs listed as per PCI syllabus for in medicinal chemistry for B. Pharmacy
Parasympatholytics are the drugs that block or inhibit the actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic nerve endings and cholinergic receptors. They are also referred to as anticholinergics or cholinergic blocking agents or antispasmodics.
Anticholinergic drugs include atropine and related drugs- atropine is the prototype. Atropine is obtained from the plant Atropa belladonna. Atropine and scopolamine (hyoscine) are the belladonna alkaloids. They compete with acetylcholine for muscarinic receptors and block this receptors-they are muscarinic antagonists.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. GENERAL ANESTHETICS
General anesthetics are group of drugs that produces loss of
consciousness, and therefore, loss of all sensations.
The absolute loss of sensation is termed as Anesthesia.
General anesthetics bring about reducing the depression of the
central nervous system (CNS), starting with the cerebral
cortex, the basal ganglia, the cerebellum, and finally the spinal
cord.
These drugs are used in surgical operations to induce
unconsciousness and, therefore, abolish the sensation of pain.
3. STAGES OF GENERAL
ANESTHESIA
When an inhalation anesthetic is administered to a
patient some of the following well defined stages
are produced by increasing the blood concentration.
They are;
Stage I (Stage of analgesia):
The patient is conscious and experience sensations
of warmth, remoteness, drifting, falling, and
giddiness.
There is a marked reduction in the perception of
painful stimuli. This stage is often used in minor
surgery.
4. Stage II (Stage of delirium):
This stage begins with the loss of consciousness.
Depression of higher centers produces variety of effects
including excitement, involuntary activity, and increased
skeletal muscle tone, and the respiration is typically irregular.
Stage III (Stage of surgical anesthesia):
This is the stage of unconsciousness and paralysis of reflexes,
respiration is regular and blood pressure is maintained.
All surgical procedures are carried out in this stage.
Stage IV (Stage of medullary paralysis):
Respiratory and circulatory failures take place as a result of
the depression of the vital centers of the medulla, and brain
stem occurs
5. CLASSIFICATION OF GENERAL
ANESTHETICS
The general anesthetics are classified according to their
nature (volatile or non-volatile) at room temperature.
They are:
A. Volatile/Inhalation anesthetics.
They are administered by inhalation and are further
subdivided as;
1. Gases:
Cyclopropane: Ethyl chloride, Nitrous oxide
2. Liquids:
Diethyl ether, Halothane, Chloroform,
Trichloroethylene
6. B. Non-Volatile or Intravenous anesthetics.
They are non-volatile at room temperature and are
administered by intravenous route.
They are;
1. Barbiturates:
Thiopental sodium, Methohexital sodium.
2. Non-barbiturates:
Propanidid, Propofol.
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF GENERAL
ANESTHETICS.
An ideal general anesthetic should possess the following
characteristic features:
a) It should be inert
b) It should be potent and non-inflammable.
c) It should be non-irritating to mucous membrane
d) It should produce rapid and smooth anesthesia
e) It should produce analgesia and muscle relaxation in
addition to anesthesia
f) It should not produce severe hypotension
g) It should not produce nausea and vomiting
h) It should be compatible with adjuvant drugs used in
anesthesia
i) It should be economical
j) It should be stable to heat, light and alkalies
8. MECHANISM OF ACTION.
General anesthetics target the ligand gated ion channels and
produce the anesthetic action.
The GABA receptor gated chloride channels are the most
important sites and opens to perform the inhibitory action.
N2O and Ketamine do not affect the GABA or Glycine gated
Cl– channel,
But they selectively inhibit the excitatory NMDA-type of
glutamate receptor, which belongs to calcium-gated channels
in the neurons and leads to neuronal hyper-polarization.
10. Properties:
It is a clear, colourless, heavy, non-flammable liquid,
Slightly soluble in water, miscible with ethanol, and with
trichloroethylene.
Uses:
It may produce any depth of anesthesia without causing
hypoxia.
Being a non-irritant, its inherent hypotensive effect retards
capillary bleeding and renders a comparatively bloodless
field.
It is a potent, relatively safe general inhalation anesthetic
used in conjunction with N2O.
For skeletal muscle relaxation, it is used with succinyl
choline or tubocurarine.
Storage:
• It should be stored in well-closed airtight containers,
protected from light, at a temperature not exceeding 25°C in
a nonreactive metal container
11. It is a clear, colourless liquid, non-inflammable and non-
explosive in air or oxygen in anesthetic concentrations.
It is the most potent of the inhalational agents.
It is employed to cause light anesthesia with deep analgesic
and muscle relaxation feature, which makes it convenient for
surgical operations.
