Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Depression is commonly encountered in the general population, affecting over 15% of people at some point during their lives. Consequently, the prevalence of patients taking mood-altering pharmaceuticals is significant. These medications include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRI), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), and atypical antidepressants (Table 28-1). Each of these classes of medications present unique implications for the anesthetic management of the patient and thus it is essential to understand the mechanism of action, side effect profile, and drug interactions of each.
