Anxiolytics (benzodiazepines / propofol)
Local analgesia - ↓ pain stimulus
Fentanyl - ↓ pain stimulus; sympatholysis
↓ non-pharmacological factors (eg. cold)
β - adrenergic blockade





Non-barbituarate hypnotic anaesthetic

Half Life: T½= 2; 30; 180 mins
Metabolites not active
Hypnosis at 1.5-6 μg/ml
Maintenance with infusion pump
No atmospheric pollution
Guaranteed sedation…..




Loading dose – 40-80 mg (1 mg/kg)
Maintenance dose – 25-60 mls/hr (80 μg/kg/min)
20mg bolus prn.
Titrating to patient’s threshold

At steady state



Reduce rate by 10% every few minutes
Slight non-purposeful movement (threshold)
Add 10% and maintain
Switch off when no more stimulation
“Every anaesthetic is a pharmacological experiment”
