Cards

Term
Morphine
Definition
gold standard
m and k agonistsLo
first-pass hepatic metabolism
SE - vent depression, inc ICP, constipation, bile duct spasm, hypotension
Term
Fentanyl
Sufentanyl
Definition
strong opoid agonist - much more potent than morphine
general anesthesia, conscious sedation
transdermal and transmucosal
Term
Methadone
Definition
long-term pain control and detox
great oral bioavailability
longer half-life and accumulation with repeat administration
Term
Merperidine
Definition
only <48 hour use
no biliary tract spasm
short half-life, reqs freq dosing
can lead to tremor, seizures, status epilepticus
DDI with MAOIs, inc 5HT (delirium, fever, coma, death)
Term
Hydromorphone
Oxymorphone
Definition
5-10x as potent as morphine
must be careful when substituting, bc lethal outcomes possible
Term
Heroin
Definition
very lipophilic, causing a rush
metabolized to morphine in CNS
Term
Codeine
Hydrocodone
Oxycodone
Definition
used for moderate pain, often with ASA or acetaminophen
antitussive activity
breaking controlled-released tables causes opioid-like euphoria and abuse
Term
Clonidine
Definition
adjunct for severe pain
stimulates alpha-2 receptors - analgesia in spinal cord, dec SNS outflow in brain
Term
Anticonvulsants:
Carbamazepine
Gabapentin
Lamotrigine
Definition
adjunct for severe pain
block sodium channels - dec AP to sensory nerves
Term
Pentazocine
Definition
strong k agonist, weak m agonist (inhibitory effect)
toxic at high doses
SE - opposite of morphine - dysphoria, hallucination, HTN, tachycardia
don't give to pt taking pure opioid agonist
Term
Nalbuphine
Definition
k agonist, m antagonist
dose response curve for analgesia, vent depression, flattens out quickly
less CV effects than pentazocine
don't give to pt taking pure opioid agonist
Term
Naloxone
Definition
dx or tx opioid OD
blocks all opioid receptors
fast-acting, short duration
Term
Local anesthetics (general)
Definition
must be non-ionized (neutral charge) to diffuse in - pKa is typically 8-9
binds to and inactivates Na channels on rapidly firing neurons (small, nonmyelinated), causes loss of pain > temp > touch > deep pressure
lidocaine can by used IV for anti-arrhythmic tx but only by anesthesiologist
SE - CV depression (esp bupivacaine), vent depression, CNS stimu (seizures - apnea during seizures main cause of death)
Term
Esters:
Procaine
Chlorprocaine
Tetracaine
Definition
rarely used
low potency, slow onset, short duration
high allergenicity
Term
Amides:
Lidocaine
Definition
most widely used LA
hepatic metabolism
low allergenicity
Term
LA + vasoconstrictors (EPI)
Definition
slows systemic absorption - faster onset, longer duration, inc intensity, dec risk of systemic toxicity
can use in pts with HTN
do not use in areas like the finger - can cause ischemia
Term
Benzocaine
Definition
short-term use on small areas of skin and mucous membranes
hydrolyzed to PABA
excessive use causes dermatitis and further overuse
Term
Cocaine
Definition
cerebral cortical stimulant, blocks NE reuptake
only topical use medically
sympathomimetic effects (vasoconstriction)
Term
Inhalation agents for general anesthesia (general)
Definition
? GABA-A receptor chloride channel and activation of K channels
MAC - min conc to abolish pain in 50% of pts
Malignant hyperthermia - (esp with succinylcholine), dec Ca uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum causes skeletal muscle contracture, metabolic heat production, and fever - treat with dantrolene
Term
Volatile liquid halogenated hydrocarbon agents (general)
Definition
liquids at STP
very low MAC - very potent, low TI
lots of DDI - +catecholamines cause inc arrhthmogenicity
Term
Isoflurane
Definition
#1 inhaled anestetic in US
may cause baroreflex HTN and tachycardia
Term
Desflurane
Definition
very insoluble in blood, so very potent
expensive, pungent, poor induction
tachycardia via SNS activation can lead to inc ICP
Term
Nitrous oxide (gas)
Definition
used for adjunct analgesia
MAC very high
CV depression
Term
IV agents for general anesthesia (general)
Definition
rapid effects - often used for induction
important adjunctive actions with inhaled agents, but can be used alone
Term
IV Midazolam
Definition
IV benzodiazepine for rapid induction and sedation with fast recovery
great for amnesia
can be used for conscious sedation with an analgesia like fentanyl
Term
IV Propofol
Definition
most common parenteral anesthetic for induction or maintenance
fast onset, short duration
no laryngospasm
Term
IV Etomidate
Definition
induction agent
good for pts with CV risk (hypotension)
can cause myoclonic seizures
Term
IV Ketamine
Definition
dissociative anesthetic - excellent amnesia and profound analgesia
activates SNS, causes bronchodilation
inc CBF and ICP
Term
Ulta short-acting IV barbiturates:
Thiobarbiturates
Methoxexinal
Definition
induce unconsciousness in seconds
risk of CV depression and laryngospasm
Term
IV opoids:
Fentanyl
Sufentanyl
Femifentanil
Definition
greater potency than morphine
pharmacokinetics more useful for an operation
