General anesthetics 1. The state of general anesthesia usually includes: a) Analgesia b) Loss of consciousness, inhibition of sensory and autonomic reflexes c) Amnesia d) All of the above 2. Inhaled anesthetics and intravenous agents having general anesthetic properties: a) Directly activate GABA receptors b) Facilitate GABA action but have no direct action on GABAA receptors c) Reduce the excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission d) Increase the duration of opening of nicotine-activated potassium channels 3. The anesthetic agent , which is an inhibitor of NMDA glutamate receptors is : a) Thiopental b) Halothane c) Ketamine d) Sevoflurane 4. An ideal anesthetic drug would: a) Induces anesthesia smoothly and rapidly and secure rapid recovery b) Posses a wide margin of safety c) Has a minimal adverse effects d) All of the above 5. Which of the following general anesthetics belongs to inhalants? a) Thiopental b) Desfluran c) Ketamine d) Propofol 6. The anesthetic, which is used intravenously is : a) Propofol b) Halothane c) Desflurane d) Nitrous oxide 7. Sevoflurane has largely replaced halothane and isoflurane as an inhalation anesthetic of choice because: a) Induction of anesthesia is achieved more rapidly and smoothly b) Recovery is more rapid c) It has low post- anesthetic organ toxicity d) All of the above 8. The limitation of sevoflurane is: a) High incidence of coughing and laryngospasm b) Chemically unstable c) Centrally mediated sympathetic activation leading to a rise of BP and HR d) Hepatotoxicity
