Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% may be used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Adequate data have not been developed to establish its application in obstetrical anesthesia.
Induction of and recovery from Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% anesthesia are rapid. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% has a mild pungency, which limits the rate of induction, although excessive salivation or tracheobronchial secretions do not appear to be stimulated. Pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes are readily obtunded. The level of anesthesia may be changed rapidly with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% is a profound respiratory depressant. Respiration must be monitored closely and supported when necessary. As anesthetic dose is increased, tidal volume decreases and respiratory rate is unchanged. This depression is partially reversed by surgical stimulation, even at deeper levels of anesthesia. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% evokes a sigh response reminiscent of that seen with diethyl ether and enflurane, although the frequency is less than with enflurane.
Blood pressure decreases with induction of anesthesia but returns toward normal with surgical stimulation. Progressive increases in depth of anesthesia produce corresponding decreases in blood pressure. Nitrous oxide diminishes the inspiratory concentration of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% required to reach a desired level of anesthesia and may reduce the arterial hypotension seen with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% alone. Heart rhythm is remarkably stable. With controlled ventilation and normal PaCO2, cardiac output is maintained despite increasing depth of anesthesia, primarily through an increase in heart rate, which compensates for a reduction in stroke volume. The hypercapnia, which attends spontaneous ventilation during Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% anesthesia further increases heart rate and raises cardiac output above awake levels. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% does not sensitize the myocardium to exogenously administered epinephrine in the dog. Limited data indicate that subcutaneous injection of 0.25 mg of epinephrine (50 mL of 1:200,000 solution) does not produce an increase in ventricular arrhythmias in patients anesthetized with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%.
Muscle relaxation is often adequate for intra-abdominal operations at normal levels of anesthesia. Complete muscle paralysis can be attained with small doses of muscle relaxants. All commonly used muscle relaxants are markedly potentiated with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%, the effect being most profound with the nondepolarizing type. Neostigmine reverses the effect of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants in the presence of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%. All commonly used muscle relaxants are compatible with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%.
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% can produce coronary vasodilation at the arteriolar level in selected animal models; the drug is probably also a coronary dilator in humans. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%, like some other coronary arteriolar dilators, has been shown to divert blood from collateral dependent myocardium to normally perfused areas in an animal model (“coronary steal”). Clinical studies to date evaluating myocardial ischemia, infarction and death as outcome parameters have not established that the coronary arteriolar dilation property of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% is associated with coronary steal or myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% is a general inhalation anesthetic used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. It induces muscle relaxation and reduces pains sensitivity by altering tissue excitability. It does so by decreasing the extent of gap junction mediated cell-cell coupling and altering the activity of the channels that underlie the action potential.

Uses
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% may be used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Adequate data have not been developed to establish its application in obstetrical anesthesia.
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Induction and Maintenance of General Anesthesia
How Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% works
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% induces a reduction in junctional conductance by decreasing gap junction channel opening times and increasing gap junction channel closing times. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% also activates calcium dependent ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum by increasing the fluidity of the lipid membrane. Also appears to bind the D subunit of ATP synthase and NADH dehydogenase. Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% also binds to the GABA receptor, the large conductance Ca2+ activated potassium channel, the glutamate receptor and the glycine receptor.
Dosage
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% dosage
Premedication: Premedication should be selected according to the need of the individual patient, taking into account that secretions are weakly stimulated by Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%, and the heart rate tends to be increased. The use of anticholinergic drugs is a matter of choice.
Inspired Concentration: The concentration of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% being delivered from a vaporizer during anesthesia should be known. This may be accomplished by using:
Vaporizers calibrated specifically for Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%;
Vaporizers from which delivered flows can be calculated, such as vaporizers delivering a saturated vapor, which is then diluted. The delivered concentration from such a vaporizer may be calculated using the formula: % Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% = 100 PvFv/FT(PA- PV)
Where:
- PA= Pressure of atmosphere
- PV= Vapor pressure of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100%
- FV= Flow of gas through vaporizer (mL/min)
- FT= Total gas flow (mL/min)
Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% contains no stabilizer. Nothing in the agent alters calibration or operation of these vaporizers.
Induction: Induction with Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% in oxygen or in combination with oxygen-nitrous oxide mixtures may produce coughing, breath holding, or laryngospasm. These difficulties may be avoided by the use of a hypnotic dose of an ultra-short-acting barbiturate. Inspired concentrations of 1.5 to 3.0% Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% usually produce surgical anesthesia in 7 to 10 minutes.
Maintenance: Surgical levels of anesthesia may be sustained with a 1.0 to 2.5% concentration when nitrous oxide is used concomitantly. An additional 0.5 to 1.0% may be required when Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% is given using oxygen alone. If added relaxation is required, supplemental doses of muscle relaxants may be used.
The level of blood pressure during maintenance is an inverse function of Forane Solution for Inhalation 100% concentration in the absence of other complicating problems. Excessive decreases may be due to depth of anesthesia and in such instances may be corrected by lightening anesthesia.
