Q

Prostaglandin effects

A
  • activation of inflammatory response
  • fever
  • vasodilation
  • relax smooth muscle
  • increased capillary permeability
  • sensitization of nerve cells to pain
  • proliferation of WBC to damaged tissues
  • induces labor, other reproductive processes
  • clotting and anti-coagulation
  • inhibit gastric acid synthesis, increase mucus secretion-
  • increase blood flow in kidneys
  • promote constriction of bronchi (asthma)
19
Q

Salicylic acid

A

Important active metabolite of aspirin (acetylsalicyclic acid -> prodrug to SA)

20
Q

Metabolite

A

Any substance produced during metabolism or may also refer to product remaining after drug is broken down

21
Q

7 groups of NSAIDs

A

FIRST GEN

  1. Salicylates
  2. Para-chlorobenzoic acid derivatives, or indoles
  3. Phenylacetic acids

APAP (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol)

24
Q

2nd generation NSAIDs

A

COX-2 inhibitors

25
Q

Good for fever

A

26
Q

COX-1

A
  • protects stomach lining
  • promotes platelet aggregation
  • in all tissues
27
Q

COX-2

A

Triggers pain and inflammation

- at site of tissue injury

28
Q

5 cardinal signs of inflammation

A
H eat
E dema
L oss of function
P ain
R edness
29
Q

NSAID effects

A
  • reversibly inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes
  • decrease formation of prostaglandin
  • inhibit chemotaxis (lymphocyte activity, neutrophil aggregation)
30
Q

NSAID indications

A
  • analgesic (CNS & peripheral effect)
  • antipyretic (CNS effect)
  • antiinflammatory (act locally)
  • antiplatelet (irreversible; CVA & MI prophylaxis - mostly COX-1 inhibitors)
31
Q

salycylism

A

aspirin toxicity

32
Q

salycylism S&S

A
  • headache
  • tinnitus
  • diaphoresis
  • disequilibrium
  • CNS alterations
  • hyperventilation s/t acid-base disturbances
  • nausea, vomiting
  • dehydration
  • cardiovascular collapse: coma, convulsions, death
33
Q

salycylism treatment

A
  • decrease absorption (charcoal, emetics, gastric lavage) ONLY EFFECTIVE IF RECENTLY INGESTED
  • supportive measures: F&E support, sodium bicarbonate
  • enhance excretion: alkalinize urine, force diuresis, hemodialysis
