Cards

Term
Acetaminophen
Definition
1.biotransformation to toxic metabolite, NAPQI--immediate binds PRO=necrosis, & have low glutathione

3. fluids, glucose, feed; benzos for alc addiction
Term
Methanol (Windshield washer)
Definition
1.acidosis with OCULAR damage & CNS damage; metabolized to formaldehyde slowly, then to formic acidy quickly = ETC inhibited
2.elevated osmol gap, anion gap acidosis, visual problems, CNS strokes; NO KETOSIS
3. compete with ETOH or 4-methylpyrazole & dialysis
Term
Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze)

3.support, rarely dialysis
Term
carbon monoxide
Definition

2. Manure/Sewage; incr venous PaO2, refractory shock, lactic acidosis
3. amyl- or Na-nitrate and O2
Term
Sodium Channel Blockers
Definition
1. block phase 0, fast Na-ch = prolong phase 0 with widened QRS--begins to look like VTach but not HR change since I(f) not affected usually
2. wider QRS = more toxic; hypotension, decr CO, bradycardia pre-death bc now hitting I(f)
TCAs, Class I anti-arryth, local anesth, chloroquine, antihistamines, b-Blockers
3. Sodium Bicarbonate, more Na to channels and fix acidosis
Term
Potassium Efflux Blockers
Definition
1. Prolonged QT via delayed Phase 3 repolarize (TORSADES!); Class I Antiarryth, antipsychotics, antibiotic, antihistamines, Antidepressants, methadone
2. Risks with hypokalemia hypomagnesemia, and bradycardia
3. fix K+ levels + give Mg; beta1-agonist or pacemaker if needed
Term
Calcium channel Blockers
Definition
1. block L-Type: phase 0 and 4 of pacemakers, phase 2 of myocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells
2.Verapamil, diltiazem, amolodipine, felodipine; = bradycardia+hypoTN+ HYPERGLYCEMIA (islet L-type block)
3. Give Ca++, insulin, pressors for BP
Term
Beta Blockers
Definition
1. decr phase 4 of pacemakers; Propranolol-also blocks Na-ch = WORST toxicity; labetalol-also blocks a1-Rs on periph vessels
2. Sever hypoTN-labetolol; Hypoglycemia, esp in kids
3. out-compete with beta agonist, atropine, glucagon-mimics beta agonists w/o need for receptor binding
Term
Na/K ATPases (oleander, digoxin)
Definition
1.block Na/K-->Na/Ca = incr INTRAcell Ca and Na and incr myocardial contraction; incr vagal PSNS tone=decr HR
2. high levels cause PVCs-->arrythmia; Color vision changes, HypoTN, bradycardia/depressed contract early on; Get serum K(predictive) and digoxin levels!
3. digoxin-specific polyclonal antibody fragments (Fab) aka Digibind; atropine, lidocaine
Term
Lead
Definition
1.Heme synthase enzymes affected; microcytic anemia--basophilic stippling, cerebral edema; chronically: Gout, Renal tox, HTN
