Australia Permanent Healthcare and Medical Courses

This session introduces the cytochrome P450 enzyme system and its role in physiology and pharmacology, with a focus on the effects of drugs used commonly in anaesthesia.

This session will introduce pharmacokinetics and modelling. The simple one-compartment model will be described and reasons presented as to why such a model rarely describes drug behaviour.

This session will develop pharmacokinetic modelling. The two- and three-compartment models will be introduced showing how the parameters described in a simple model are used in these more complicated models.

This session will discuss clearance and volume of distribution and methods used to estimate and measure these kinetic parameters.

This session will develop the three compartment model to include an effect-site and discuss its application to target-controlled infusions used for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. The concept of context-sensitive half-time will be introduced.

This session explains the variations in pharmacokinetics as observed in different anaesthetic patient populations.
