New Pharmacokinetic Concepts

  • Chapter
Anesthesia for the New Millennium

Abstract

Much of this review course is directed towards reviewing of ‘New Concepts in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics’ and their application for the New Millennium. Thus this review will simply highlight some of these issues which will be discussed in greater detail in subsequent chapters. Most of the pharmacokinetic (and pharmacodynamic) principles that guide the administration of intravenous and volatile anesthetics are very similar. I will concentrate on the development of newer principles for intravenous anesthetics, but many of these are equally applicable to the volatile anesthetics.
