Ketamine and Nitrous Oxide
Storyboard Text
- Dating Dissociates
- Hello, my name is Nitrous Oxide, but you can call me Whippets. What is your name?
- Nice to meet you.
- I am Ketamine, but you can call me K.
- Tell me about yourself
- I like my appearance to be white or off white. Sometimes I dress in a pill or like to be dissolved in a liquid.
- I am an anaesthetic that is used by medical practioners and veternaians
- You can consider me an dissociative drug. I tend to make others feel detached from their bodies or environment and cause hallucinations
- The way I like to work (Mechanism of action) is by primarily blocking excitatory NMDA receptors.
- This exchange increase the voltage in the cell relative to extracellular space and increasing the the chances of neural firing.
- Located in the pre-and postsynaptic terminals, the NMDA receptors allow sodium and calcium (Ca2) ions to flow into the cell, while potassium (K) ions flow out.
- Nitrous oxide
- This action so mine can cause different effects such as:
- Ketamine
- Happy, relaxed, lessen sensitively to pain, visual and auditory hallucinations, confusion and clumsiness, increased heart rate and blood pressure, drowsiness, slurred speech and blurred vision, anxiety and panic, vomiting, and the most concerning is a k-hole (intense detachment from reality following high doses).
- Thank you for telling me about you. Lets go for a walk and I will tell you all about me.
- I would love to, lets go.
- Again, I am Nitrous Oxide, part of the dissociate family as well. I am a colorless gas that is commonly used for sedation and pain relief but is abused to make people feel high or intoxicated. I am used by dentists and medical personnel to sedate patients through minor medical procedures.
- Ketamine blocks this NMDA receptor, reducing the excitatory actions.
- I am even found in whipped cream and car engine performace products. I help people dependent on alcohol that are going through the withdrawing phase. Additionally I am used by being inhaled by a ballown or directly into the mouth.
- My mechanism of action, just like you K, I work on the excitatory receptors of NMDA by inhibiting them in the brain. This action causes systemic effects.
- In the respiratory system, I increase respiratory rate and decrease tidal volume, which is you must monitor use with mandatory minute ventilation(MMV)
