Question 5 of 5
Which of the following reasons best explains why general anesthesia induced by a standard dose of thiopental lasts 5 to 15 minutes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Thiopental's short duration of action is primarily due to its rapid redistribution from the brain to peripheral tissues, leading to a quick recovery. Slow distribution into the CNS, fast elimination, and poor diffusion into central neurons would not explain the short duration of action observed with thiopental.
