Note: KD Tripathi's Essentials of Medical Pharmacology is not in the textbook library, but the flowchart content is drawn from the same pharmacology covered in KD Tripathi, cross-referenced with Barash's Clinical Anesthesia (9e) and Miller's Anesthesia (10e).
| Mechanism | Target | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| ① NMDA Antagonism | Non-competitive block of NMDA (glutamate) receptors | ↓ Ca²⁺ influx → sedation, amnesia, dissociative analgesia |
| ② Opioid Activation | Stimulates endogenous opioid release (enkephalin, β-endorphin) → μ & κ receptors | Potent analgesia, anxiolysis, euphoria |
| ③ GABA-A / K⁺ Channels | Weak GABA-A potentiation + TREK-1 K⁺ channel activation | Neuronal hyperpolarisation → sedation, MAC reduction |
