Clinical Scenarios to Demonstrate Pharmacology Principles of General Anesthesia
| A 20-year-old patient with Down’s syndrome needs to be examined under general anesthesia. The patient is afraid of needles. |
| A 30-year-old ASA Ia patient must have a foreign object removed from his esophagus. Procedure is estimated to be 10 minutes in length. |
| A 40-year-old ASA IIb patient with a history of a hiatal hernia requires electroconvulsive therapy with methohexital and succinylcholine. |
| A 50-year-old ASA II patient with a history of sleep apnea requires repair of an inguinal hernia. The patient refuses regional anesthesia for the procedure, which is estimated to require 1 to 2 hours. |
| A 60-year-old ASA II patient with a history of asthma requires an open cholecystectomy. The procedure is estimated to take 2 to 3 hours. |
