Anesthetic drug interactions are a cornerstone for safe anesthesia practice but are currently often neglected, requiring anesthetists to recognize them for safer medication administration.
Understanding anesthetic drug interactions is crucial for safe anesthesia practice.
Neglect of anesthetic interactions warrants educational emphasis in training; leaves open whether recognition reduces adverse events.
Drug interactions represent the cornerstone in the basic anesthetic triangle and knowledge about such interactions contributes to a solid foundation for administering medications. This article dwells on the anesthetic drug interactions: pharmaceutical (mixing or not mixing), pharmacokinetic (alterations in distribution, metabolism, or clearance), pharmacodynamics (synergism, additive effect) and thermodynamic (affinity and intrinsic activity). The basic anesthetic triangle is a current concept and drug interactions are the cornerstone for safe anesthesia. These interactions are currently neglected and hence the anesthetist should recognize any drug interactions for a safer practice of anesthesia. Las interacciones farmacológicas constituyen los pilares de la tríada básica de la anestesia y su conocimiento contribuye a tener unas bases sólidas en la administración de medicamentos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo hacer una reflexión sobre las interacciones farmacológicas en anestesia: Farmacéuticas (mezclar o no mezclar), farmacocinéticas (alteración en la distribución, metabolismo o eliminación), farmacodinámicas (sinergismo, adición) y termodinámicas (afinidad y actividad intrínseca). La tríada básica de la anestesia es un concepto vigente y sus interacciones farmacológicas son los pilares de una anestesia segura. En la actualidad estas interacciones no se tienen en cuenta, razón por la cual es pertinente que el anestesiólogo las tenga presente para hacer un ejercicio más seguro de los medicamentos que administra.

Luis Alberto Tafur-Betancourt (2017) conducted a review in Anesthesia drug interactions. Anesthetic drug interactions was evaluated. Anesthetic drug interactions are a cornerstone for safe anesthesia practice but are currently often neglected, requiring anesthetists to recognize them for safer medication administration.
