| amnesic | agent that causes memory impairment |
| anesthesia | loss of feeling or sensation |
| depolarization | reversal of charges at cell membrane, cause- rapid inflow of Na ions |
| emergence phase | begins: anesthetic agents dcd. ends: pt to PACU |
| emulsion | mixture of 2 liquids not mutually soluble |
| ET | airway cath inserted into trachea, ensure patent airway, provide ventilation |
| extubation | removal of an inserted ET tube |
| fasiculation | small, local, involuntary muscle contractions seen under the skin |
| induction phase | begins: meds administered to initiate anesthesia. end: adequate depth of anesthesia, airway secure |
| intubation | insertion of an ET tube |
| lacrimation | production of tears |
| LMA | airway placed over the larynx |
| maintenance phase | begin: airway established/secured. end: surgery completed |
