Thiopentone action is terminated by______________?
Correct answer: C. Redistribution
- A. Excretion
- B. Metabolism
- C. Redistribution
- D. Recycling
Explanation
Thiopentone rapidly leaves the brain and redistributes to muscle and fat, so its anaesthetic action ends before significant metabolism occurs. Metabolism is important for eventual elimination but not for the initial termination of hypnosis after one dose.
