Which of the following determines the speed of recovery from IV anesthetic agents?
High-Yield Explanation
IV anesthetic agents are give by infusion . Infusion maintains the serum concentration of anesthetic agent high which causes the drug to attach to highly perfused organ i.e CNS . Once the infusion is stopped the serum concentration decreases and drug detaches from CNS and gets redistributed to other organs Hence redistribution of drug from CNS determines the speed of recovery from IV anesthetic
