Respected Sir/Madam/Colleague
Greeting from Dr. Tushar Chokshi, Vadodara
I have completed 20 months journey of my Infographics in Anesthesiology.
I am extremely thankful and honored for allowing, accepting, tolerating and inspiring continuous endeavoring of
my infographics.
In September 2020 I started my first Infographics in Anesthesia on MgSO4. And till date I have completed almost
130 + infographics in our subjects. (लोग साथ आते गए और कारवााँ बनता गया)
I was inspired to make infographics in anesthesia by one little 5 year old child. He was having online education
during corona period from his school every day through infographics on different subjects. He was accepting
theme of story or any subject very nicely and not only that he was remembering very well (As our vision is most
valuable sense then hearing and remembers 70 to 90 %).
And from this I had taken ideas of making infographics in anesthesia. Now every time for each medication,
procedure or other things, it becomes easy for me and others to refer in single page as one slider infographics.
For each making of infographics, I usually take 5 to 10 hours to make it readable with graphics, shapes, colors, &
informations by visually appealing. Before each infographics I read, write, correct, and understand detailed
information for particular infographics from journals, textbooks and online articles. Not only that, in doubt I
always consult my colleagues who are experts and masters in their subjects by phone calls, messages or emails.
Still some informations may be written wrongly with spellings or dose or without my deep knowledge. But my
intentions are very clear to respect all my colleagues. I will be humbled if you can guide and advice me
personally. I will still advice you to refer textbooks or other articles for particular infographics.
In my life whatever I learned, taught and experienced from my teachers, seniors and colleagues, I want to give it
back to society. I am lifetime student of my subject and I will exchange my knowledge throughout the life with
you.
Lastly, I fall in love with my infographics, & not just the end product of my work. I believe to Die Empty and
Unleash my best work everyday. Show must go on.
Your Infographics Colleague,
Dr. Tushar Chokshi

ADRENALINE
Physiological Response of Adrenaline
Heart : Increases heart rate, Contractility and
Conduction across AV node
Lungs : Increases Respiratory Rate & Bronchodilation
Liver : Stimulates Glycogenolysis
Muscle : Stimulates Glycogenolysis and Glycolysis
Brain : Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation
Systemic : Triggers Lipolysis Muscle Contraction
Mechanism of Action
Acts on both alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors. The rise
in BP is 3-fold: a direct myocardial stimulation that
increases the strength of ventricular contraction
(positive inotropic action), an increased HR (positive
chronotropic action), and peripheral vasoconstriction

ATRACURIUM
History
Invented by George H. Dewar
Atracurium was licensed
by Strathclyde University to
the Wellcome Foundation UK
First named this compound "33A74”
Non-steroidal skeletal muscle
relaxant
Bisquaternary ammonium benzylis-
oquinoline compound
Mechanism of Action
 Antagonize the neurotransmitter
action of acetylcholine by binding
competitively with cholinergic
receptor sites on the motor end-plate
 Binding of the postsynaptic nicotinic
receptor by atracurium prevents
depolarization of the motor end plate &
subsequent skeletal muscle contraction
Extra Shots
Overdosage increase the risk
of histamine release
and cardiovascular effects
It is advisable to reverse
atracurium with an
anticholinesterase reversing
agent such as neostigmine,
edrophonium, or pyridostigmine
in conjunction with atropine or
glycopyrrolate
Avoid in rapid sequence
intubation
Side Effects
Histamine release
Cutaneous flushing (Face &
Arm)
Hypotension & reflex
tachycardia
 Bronchospasm & Secretions
Seizures
Erythema and Itching
 Rare Allergic reactions
(anaphylactic or anaphylactoid)
Inadequate block, prolonged
block
Indications
An adjunct to general anesthesia to
facilitate endotracheal intubation
To provide skeletal muscle relaxation
during surgery or mechanical ventilation
To facilitate the placement of a
Supraglotic Airway
Off label use : in ARDS and Shivering
due to hypothermia following arrest
Precautions to Use
 Allergy and asthmatic patients
 Myasthenia Gravis/Burns Injury
 Eaton-Lambert syndrome
 Electrolyte disorders
 Malignant hyperthermia
 Long term use in ICU ( > 10 days )
Pregnancy is not contraindication but
careful it is teratogenic

Invented 1974 & In Use 1983
Most commonly used muscle relaxant
Non Depolarizing Muscle Relaxant
with short duration of action
Atracurium should not be administered until patient
has recovered from succinylcholine induced
neuromuscular block
It has an acid pH, should not be mixed with alkaline
solutions in the same syringe
10 mL multidose vials only contain benzyl alcohol, so
as far as avoid this vial in neonates and infants
Laudanosine is major biologically active metabolite
of atracurium without neuromuscular blocking activity
In Renal and Hepatic failure or Critically
ill patients No dose adjustment
Reduce dose in long volatile anaesthesia
Onset of action takes
Approximately 2 minutes
Renal Excretion is less than 5 %
Slower injection speed, from 30 to 60 seconds, reduce histamine release, and the associated adverse effects

GI Toxicity
Nausea/ Vomiting
High Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine causes
Paresthesia, Paralysis, Apnea, Hypoventilation,
Fecal Incontinence, and Urinary Incontinence
Mechanism of Action (Amino-Amide anesthetic)
 Bupivacaine binds to the intracellular portion of voltage-
gated sodium channels and blocks sodium influx into nerve cells,
which prevents depolarization. Without depolarization, no
initiation or conduction of a pain signal can occur
The amino-amide anesthetics are more stable and less likely to
cause allergic reactions
Levobupivacaine is the (S)-(–)-enantiomer of bupivacaine, with
longer duration of action, producing less vasodilatation
Bupivacaine is available as a generic
medication and is not very expensive

IV CALCIUM
M/A : Calcium plays a central role in a large
number of physiological actions that are essential
for life which include cardiac automaticity;
excitation–contraction coupling in myocardial,
smooth and skeletal muscle; blood coagulation;
neuronal conduction; synaptic transmission;
hormone secretion and mitotic division
A normal 70-kg
adult contains about 1.2 kg
calcium, of which more than 99%
is located in the bone
In the plasma, the normal total calcium
concentration is about 2.25–2.55
Mol/L−1 (9.0–10.2mg/dL−1)
50% of this is free ionized calcium,
10% is calcium combined with various anions,
40% is bound to proteins, mainly albumin
Calcium inj. is given IV only, S/C or IM
injections are not allowed because
causes severe necrosis or sloughing
Avoid rapid injection, it may
cause Cardiac Arrest
Dosing Regimen
A bolus dose of 100 mg
elemental calcium diluted in 100 mL
isotonic saline and given over 5-10 min.
It raise the total serum calcium by 0.5 mg/dL,
but level of calcium begins to fall after 30 min.
Therefore, the bolus dose of calcium should be
followed by a continuous infusion at a dose rate
of 1 to 2 mg/kg/h (elemental calcium) for at
least 6 hours
IV calcium available as 100 mg/ml
Ca Chloride 10 ml 10 % (272 mg)
Ca Gluconate 10 ml 10% (93 mg)
Gluconate is less irritant
to veins
Precautions for giving Calcium Injection
Calcium infusions can promote
vasoconstriction and ischemia in any of the vital
organs & and seen high in patients with low
cardiac output
Aggressive calcium replacement can promote
intracellular calcium overload, which can
produce lethal cell injury, particularly in patients
with circulatory shock, so avoid it
Always give calcium solution in large or
central veins with small intracath, due to
hyperosmolarity of calcium solutions
Hypocalcemia(< 6) & Hypercalcemia(> 14)
Sudden decreases in serum calcium may be
seen in the early postoperative period after
thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy and may
cause laryngospasm (Give Calcium accordingly)
Hypercalcemia results from increased calcium
reabsorption from the gastrointestinal tract, in
renal insufficiency and increased bone
resorption of calcium ( Treat with Isotonic saline
Infusion, Furosemide, Calcitonin, Glucocorticoid,
Biphosphonate & Dialysis )
Symptomatic Hypocalcemia must be treated
before giving any type of anesthesia
 Antidote of Calcium is Magnesium
First isolated by Humphry Davy in 1808
It is classified as a calcium salt
Most widely used is Calcium Gluconate
Calcium Gluconate introduced in 1920
No dose adjustment is required in geriatric
hepatic or renal impairment patients
Always monitor ECG & serum calcium level every
4 hours in IV calcium therapy patients
Calcium is prime drug in Cardiac arrest and
cardiotoxicity due to hyper kalemia or hyper
magnesemia
 Common Side Effects
- Warmth/Nausea/Vomiting/Paresthesias
- Tingling /Heavy feeling/Bradycardia
- Chalky taste in your mouth
- Upset stomach/Gas/Constipation
Serious Side Effects
- Little or No Urination
- Irregular Heart Beats
- Light headedness
- Feeling tired/Muscle weakness
- Swelling/Weight gain
Indications
- Hypocalcemia/Tetany
- Hydrofluoric acid burns
-Hyperkalemia/Hyper Magnesemia
- β-blocker toxicity
- Calcium-channel blocker (CCB) toxicity
- Allergic conditions/ Spider Bites
- Pruritus due to drugs
Contraindications
Digitalized patients, VF & Hypercalcemia

CO2 Narcosis (Paco2 > 80 mm of Hg) is
a condition that develops when
excessive CO2 is present in the
bloodstream, leading to a depressed
level of consciousness & largely
results from lung disease,
hypoventilation, or environmental
exposure
Respiratory Acidosis is a condition
that occurs when the lungs can't
remove enough of the CO2 produced
by the body. Excess CO2 causes the
pH of blood and other bodily fluids to
decrease, making them too acidic,
due to failure of ventilation
CO2 is the most important end-product of tissue metabolism
Exists in three forms: (1) as free carbon dioxide, winch is dissolved in
the water of the blood, (2) as bicarbonate of the plasma, and (3) as
carbamino compounds in combination with haemoglobin
CO2 tension of the body cell is greater than that in the capillary blood,
thus CO2 moves into the blood
The partial pressure of CO2 in mixed venous blood, PvCO2 (44-46 mm
Hg) is greater than that in the alveoli of the lungs, Paco2 (38-40 mm Hg)
CO2 used in
anaesthesia since
the late 1920s,
principally to
stimulate breathing
after a period of
hyperventilation
Hypercarbia or Hypercapnia (High Paco2)
Hypercapnia defined as the Paco2 being greater than 45 mm Hg.
If the Paco2 is greater than 45 mm Hg, and the PaO2 is less than 60 mm Hg, a
patient is said to be in hypercapnic respiratory failure
Also known as Hypercarbia or CO2 Retention & confirmed by ABG analysis
Exhausted carbon dioxide absorbents and malfunctioning expiratory valves
on the anesthesia delivery circuit are possible causes hypercapnia
Hypercapnia causes
delayed awakening
in the post
anesthesia care unit
Hypocarbia, or hypocapnia, occurs when levels of CO2 in the blood
become abnormally low (Paco2 < 35 mm Hg).
Hypocarbia is confirmed by arterial blood gas analysis.
Hypocarbia, especially if only transient, is usually well tolerated by
patients. Deliberate hyperventilation, leading to hypocarbia, is often used to
decrease intracranial pressure in neurosurgical patients
Seen in hypovolemia, hypotension, hypothermia & hypothyroidism
Also seen in deep anaesthesia, iatrogenic hyperventilation, pulmonary
embolism , CNS pathology and decreased metabolism
Hypocarbia causes decreased myocardial oxygen supply, increased
myocardial oxygen demand, decreased cerebral blood flow & respiratory
alkalosis
Treated by assessing oxygenation status, decreasing minute ventilation
and restoring circulation to improve cardiac output
Initial treatment of hypercapnia is oxygen therapy with the goal of
increasing the inspired oxygen volume
In anaesthesia common causes are over sedation, hypoventilation,
inadequate gas flow and increased dead space
In operation theatre it is detected by capnography and now a days
capnography monitoring is must for CO2 like oxygen monitoring
Both hypercapnia & hypocapnia are dangerous to the life
Capnography
It is a monitoring of the
concentration or partial pressure of
carbon dioxide in the respiratory
gases as end-tidal carbon dioxide
(EtCO2)
Normal values for patients
regardless of age, sex, race, or size
range between 35-45 mm Hg
In high EtCO2 value think
respiratory failure
In low EtCO2 value think poor
systemic perfusion with shock

Extra Shots
The poor water solubility of Dantrolene
leads to certain difficulties in its use. A
more water-soluble analog of
Dantrolene, Azumolene, is under
development for similar
indications. Azumolene has
a bromine residue instead of
the nitro group found in Dantrolene, and is
30 times more water-soluble
Dantrolene
Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States
guidelines state Dantrolene must be available within 10 min
of the decision to treat MH wherever volatile anesthetics or
succinylcholine are administered
Dantrolene for IV administration is supplied in 70 mL
vials, containing 20 mg Dantrolene sodium and 3 g Mannitol.
It must be diluted with 60 mL of sterile, preservative-free,
distilled water
Phlebitis is a most common side effect of
Dantrolene IV administration, noted in
approximately 10% of patients, so
intermittent bolus is preferred than
continuous IV administration

 Desflurane Vaporizer color is Blue
Most rapid onset and offset
of the volatile anesthetic used for
general anesthesia due to its
low solubility in blood
Though it vaporizes very readily, it is
colorless liquid at room temperature
 Drawbacks of desflurane are its
low potency, its pungency and its high cost
Cause tachycardia and airway irritability
when administered at concentrations
greater than 10 vol %
Due to airway irritability, desflurane
is infrequently used to induce
anesthesia via inhalation techniques
Mechanism of Action
 Desflurane is known to act as a positive
allosteric modulator of the GABAA and glycine
receptors, and as a negative allosteric
modulator of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor,
as well as affecting other ligand-gated ion
channels
Does not corrode stainless steel, brass,
aluminum, anodized aluminum, nickel plated
brass, copper, or beryllium
Provides good relaxation for intubation
Ideal volatile agent for day care surgery
In adults, a starting concentration of 3% is
recommended & increased in 0.5-1.0%
increments every 2 to 3 breaths. Inspired
concentrations of 4-11% of desflurane usually
produce surgical anaesthesia in 2-4 minutes
Can be safely use in Obstetric anesthesia,
compromised renal and hepatic patients ( it is
less hepatotoxic)
Because of its low blood-gas partition coefficient,
desflurane allow more rapid emergence and
recovery than Halothane, Isoflurane, or even
Sevoflurane
 CVS effect : Dose dependent tachycardia
and hypertension Depression in myocardial
contractility, Decrease in SVR, Coronary
vasodilator
 CNS effect : Dose dependent Cerebral
vasodilatation Increase CBF, Cerebral blood
volume, Intracranial pressure, Cerebral oxygen
consumption decreased
 Respiratory effect : Potent respiratory
depressant, Decrease tidal volume, Increase
RR, Extremely irritant to respiratory airways
 Invented in 1970 & Medical use in 1987
Indicated as an inhalation agent for induction
of anesthesia for inpatient and outpatient
surgery in adults
Contraindicated as an inhalation agent for
the induction and maintenance of anesthesia in
non intubated pediatric patients because of a
high incidence of moderate to severe upper
airway adverse events including coughing,
laryngospasm, and secretions
Near to ideal inhalational anesthetic agent
Vaporizer specifically designed and
designated for use with desflurane should be
utilized for its administration
 Should not be used as the sole agent for
anesthetic induction in patients with
coronary artery disease or patients where
increases in heart rate or blood pressure are
undesirable

Mechanism of action
 The primary mechanism responsible for its anti-
inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic action is
thought to be inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by
inhibition of the transiently expressed prostaglandin-
endoperoxide synthase-2 (PGES-2) also known
as cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2).
 Blockage of voltage-dependent sodium channels
 Blockage of acid-sensing ion channels
It also appears to exhibit
bacteriostatic activity by inhibiting
bacterial DNA synthesis
Avoid use of multidose bulb/vial
 Positive allosteric modulation of KCNQ- and
BK-potassium channels
 It inhibits the lipoxygenase pathways, thus
reducing formation of the leukotrienes
 It also may inhibit phospholipase A2 as part of
its mechanism of action
 These additional actions may explain its high
potency – it is the most potent NSAID on a broad
basis

Pharmacokinetics
Dobutamine & Dopamine
Dobutamine produced a distinct increase in
cardiac index, while lowering left ventricular end-
diastolic pressure and leaving mean aortic
pressure unchanged
Dopamine also significantly improved cardiac
index, but at the expense of a greater increase in
heart rate than occurred with dobutamine
Dobutamine is preferred when there is a need
to improve low cardiac output.
 Dopamine increase global blood flow
Wide Ball
Hypotension occurs in almost 40% of all
anesthetized patients
Dopamine is recommended for patients with
kidney disease due to its ability to increase renal
blood flow
Dobutamine is preferred when there is a need
to improve low cardiac output
Dobutamine should be avoided in patients
affected by outflow obstructions, pulmonic
stenosis, or hypertrophic obstructive
Cardiomyopathy
Dobutamine Infusion
Rate of administration and duration of
dobutamine infusion is based on blood pressure,
heart rate, frequency of ectopic activity, and urine
flow; cardiac output, central venous pressure, and
pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
Initial dose: 0.5 to 1 mcg/kg/min IV infusion
Maintenance dose: 2 to 20 mcg/kg/min IV
infusion
Maximum dose: 40 mcg/kg/min IV infusion
Always label the infusion
It is Synthetic catecholamine
Haemodynemic changes occur during
anaesthesia and surgery in elderly patients,
Dobutamine corrects the perioperative decrease
in cardiac output and blood pressure, and might
prevent postoperative neurological disorders
Dobutamine is only given with guidelines of
institution and when indicated
For routine administration it is too dangerous
Monitoring with ECG is must during therapy
ENFLURANE
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Enflurane acts as a positive allosteric
modulator of the GABAA, glycine, and 5-
HT3 receptors, and as a negative allosteric
modulator of the AMPA, kainate, and NMDA
receptors as well as of nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors.
So it act on different ion channels within the
nervous system by blocking excitatory channels
and augmenting inhibitory channels
Enflurane is (2-chloro-1,1,2,-trifluoroethyl-
difluoromethyl ether) is a halogenated ether
Developed by Ross Terrell in 1963, first used
clinically in 1966

Fentanyl invented by Paul Janssen in 1960
and approved for medical use in 1968
Most widely used synthetic opioid
Hyperalgesia is common with Fentanyl
Fentanyl patches for cancer pain is
WHO List of Essential Medicines
Mechanism of Action
Fentanyl binds to opioid receptors, especially
the mu opioid receptor, which are coupled to
G-proteins. Activation of opioid receptors
causes GTP to be exchanged for GDP on the G-
proteins which in turn down regulates
adenylate cyclase, reducing concentrations of
cAMP. Reduced cAMP decreases cAMP
dependant influx of calcium ions into the cell.
The exchange of GTP for GDP results in
hyperpolarization of the cell and inhibition of
nerve activity

FLUMAZENIL
History & Important Information
 Also known as Flumazepil
First characterized in 1981, First marketed in 1987, FDA approval in
1991, Patent rights lost in 2008, So it is now generic formulation
 Flumazenil short half-life requires multiple doses
Administration of the drug requires careful monitoring by an
anesthesiologist due to potential side effects
 If the patient fails to awaken after receiving the maximal dose of IV
flumazenil (5 mg over 1 hour), other causes of the persistent sedation
or respiratory depression should be considered
 In undifferentiated coma it’s use is absolutely contraindicated
Mechanism of Action
Flumazenil is an imidazobenzodiazepine derivative and a potent
benzodiazepine receptor antagonist that competitively inhibits the
activity at the benzodiazepine recognition site on the
GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex, thereby reversing the effects
of benzodiazepine on the central nervous system, so acts both as
antagonist and antidote
Does not antagonize the central nervous system effects of drugs
affecting GABA ergic neurons by means other than the benzodiazepine
receptor
 Benzodiazepine overdose rarely cause mortality
Indications in Anaesthesia

Pharmacokinetics
GLYCOPYRROLATE
Full name is Glycopyrronium bromide
 Muscarinic anticholinergic group
 Glycopyrronium was first used in 1961 to treat peptic ulcers
 Since 1975, intravenous glycopyrronium has been used before
surgery to reduce salivary, tracheobronchial,
and pharyngeal secretions
 In June 2018, glycopyrronium was approved by the FDA to treat
excessive underarm sweating, becoming the first drug developed
specifically to reduce excessive sweating
 In inhalable form it is used to treat chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD)
 Also used to treat Sialorrhea & Ménière's disease
Side effects
 Dry mouth (Xerostomia)
 Urinary retention
 Headaches/ drowsiness
 Vomiting/diarrhea,
 Constipation
Blurry vision/ Mydriasis
 Urticaria / Pruritus
Since glycopyrronium reduces
the body's sweating ability, it can
even cause hyperthermia & heat
stroke in hot environments
 Mechanism of action : Glycopyrronium competitively blocks muscarinic receptors thus inhibiting cholinergic transmission
 Oral Administration : 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals, because high fat food reduces orally bioavailability
 Glycopyrrolate is associated with a more stable cardiovascular system, fewer arrhythmias and superior control of oropharyngeal
secretions at the time of reversal
Pharmacokinetics
 Glycopyrronium bromide affects the gastrointestinal
tracts, liver and kidney but has a very limited effect on the
brain and the central nervous system
 Formula : C19H28NO3
+  Molar mass : 318.437 g·mol−1
 Elimination half-life : 0.6–1.2 hours  Excretion : 85% renal
 Routes of Administration : Mouth, Intravenous, Inhalation, Topical
Glycopyrronium has a relatively slow diffusion rate, and in a
standard comparison to atropine, is more resistant to penetration
through the blood-brain barrier and placenta
 Used topically and orally to treat hyperhidrosis, in
particular, gustatory hyperhidrosis
Dosages of Glycopyrrolate
Tablets : 1mg/1.5mg/2mg
Oral solution : 1mg/5mL
Injectable solution : 0.2mg/mL
Preoperative : 4mcg/kg (IV/IM)
30-60 min before surgery
Intraoperative: 0.1 mg IV/IM;
may repeat every 2-3 minutes
Control of Secretions : 0.004-0.01
mg/kg IM/IV every 6 hours
Dosages of Glycopyrrolate
Pediatric
Children 1 month to 2 years
(4 mcg/kg (IM); may increase to 8
mcg/kg
Children > 2 years : 4 mcg/kg (IM)
Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal
0.2 mg (IV) per 1 mg of neostigmine
or 5 mg of pyridostigmine
in same syringe
 Most preferred drug in reversal by
anaesthesiologist than atropine
Relative Contraindications
Angle-closure glaucoma
 Obstructive Uropathy
GI obstruction / Paralytic ileus
 Intestinal atony of elderly or
debilitated patient
 Unstable cardiovascular status
 In Acute Hemorrhage
 Severe Ulcerative Colitis
 Toxic Megacolon, Myasthenia
Gravis, Reflux Esophagitis
 Hiatus Hernia / Mitral Stenosis
Use caution in patients with hepatic
impairment and renal impairment
 Glycopyrrolate is a synthetic quaternary amine that crosses the blood-brain barrier poorly and is less likely to cause altered mental
status or tachycardia than atropine
 It has approximately twice the potency of atropine and more potent than atropine in its antisialogogue effect
For overdose antidotes are Neostigmine
and Pyridostigmine
HALOTHANE
Discovered by C. W. Suckling in 1951
and commercial use started in 1956

Isoflurane is halogenated ether
Mechanism of action
1) Isoflurane binds GABA glutamate
and glycine receptors, but has different effects on
each receptor. 2) It acts as a positive allosteric
modulator of the GABAA receptor in
electrophysiology studies of neurons and
recombinant receptors. 3) It potentiates glycine
receptor activity, which decreases motor function.
4) It also inhibits receptor activity in
the NMDA glutamate receptor subtypes. 5) It
inhibits conduction in activated potassium
channels. 6) It also affects intracellular molecules.

  • 1. Respected Sir/Madam/Colleague Greeting from Dr. Tushar Chokshi, Vadodara I have completed 20 months journey of my Infographics in Anesthesiology. I am extremely thankful and honored for allowing, accepting, tolerating and inspiring continuous endeavoring of my infographics. In September 2020 I started my first Infographics in Anesthesia on MgSO4. And till date I have completed almost 130 + infographics in our subjects. (लोग साथ आते गए और कारवााँ बनता गया) I was inspired to make infographics in anesthesia by one little 5 year old child. He was having online education during corona period from his school every day through infographics on different subjects. He was accepting theme of story or any subject very nicely and not only that he was remembering very well (As our vision is most valuable sense then hearing and remembers 70 to 90 %). And from this I had taken ideas of making infographics in anesthesia. Now every time for each medication, procedure or other things, it becomes easy for me and others to refer in single page as one slider infographics. For each making of infographics, I usually take 5 to 10 hours to make it readable with graphics, shapes, colors, & informations by visually appealing. Before each infographics I read, write, correct, and understand detailed information for particular infographics from journals, textbooks and online articles. Not only that, in doubt I always consult my colleagues who are experts and masters in their subjects by phone calls, messages or emails. Still some informations may be written wrongly with spellings or dose or without my deep knowledge. But my intentions are very clear to respect all my colleagues. I will be humbled if you can guide and advice me personally. I will still advice you to refer textbooks or other articles for particular infographics. In my life whatever I learned, taught and experienced from my teachers, seniors and colleagues, I want to give it back to society. I am lifetime student of my subject and I will exchange my knowledge throughout the life with you. Lastly, I fall in love with my infographics, & not just the end product of my work. I believe to Die Empty and Unleash my best work everyday. Show must go on. Your Infographics Colleague, Dr. Tushar Chokshi InfographicS Aspire to Inspire before we Expire of

Activation of opioid receptors causes GTP to be exchanged for GDP on the G- proteins which in turn down regulates adenylate cyclase, reducing concentrations of cAMP. Reduced cAMP decreases cAMP dependant influx of calcium ions into the cell.
