200's Pharmo Flashcards
Opioids
Narcotics
- morphine sulfate (Statex) acts on opiate receptor
- fentanyl citrate (Sublimaze) acts on Mu receptors
- meperidine (Demerol) acts on Mu receptors
- nalbuphine (Nubain) acts on opiate receptors
- used for pain management
contraindications
- CNS depressed
- head injury
- resp depressed
- MAOI’s in 14 days
- hypotension
morphine sulfate (generic name)
- MS contin statex (trade)
- class
- opioid
- analgesic
- narcotic
morphine-MOA
- acts on the CNS opiate receptors
- vasodilation due to depression of A receptors and baroreceptors
morphine-dose
STEMI
- 2-4mg SIVP
- 5-15mg IM
PAIN
-2-10mg SIVP q 5-30 min
morphine-indications
- cardiac chest pain
- moderate to server pain (acute or chronic)
morphine-contraindications
- hypotension
- allergy to codeine
- altered LOC
- head injury
- severe resp depression
- MAOI’s within 14 days
- undiagnosed abdo pain
PRECAUTIONS
- use caution with RVI’s
- resp compromised
- pt’s with other CNS depressant
fentanyl citrate (generic)
Sublimaze (trade)
- opioid
- analgesic
- narcotic
fentanyl MOA
- acts on Mu receptors in the CNS altering pain preception
- less emetic effects than other narcotics
- 50-100x stronger than MS but shorter acting
fentanyl indications
- severe pain panagment
- RSI
fentanyl contraindications
- MAOI’s within 14 days
- severe hemorrhage
- head injury
- hypotension
- Myasthenia gravis
Precautions
- bradycardia
- hepatic or renal failure
meperidine (generic)
Demerol (trade)
- opioid
- analgesic
- narcotic
meperidine MOA
- acts on Mu and Kappa opiate receptors in the CNS
- greater affinity for Kappa than morphine causing increased dysphoria but does not have the same hemodynamic properties
meperidine dose
25-50mg IV q 3-4 hours
meperidine indications
-moderate to severe pain
meperidine contracations
MAOI’s or SSRI’s within 14 days
- head injury
- undiagnosed abdo pain
Precautions
-phenytoin may decrease analgesic effects
fentanyl dose
pain managment
-.5-1 mcg/kg SIVP
RSI
-2-5 mcg/kg IV
or
-1-3 mcg/kg IV if hypotensive
nalbuphine (generic)
Nubain (trade)
- opioid
- analgesic
- narcotic
nalbuphine dose
5mg SIVP followed by 2mg titrated to effect
nalbuphine MOA
- decrease pain preception by acting on opioid recptors
- simillar strength to morphine but faster and longer acting
- analgesic effects with antagonist properites to reduce risk of abuse
nalbuphine indications
moderate to severe pain
nalbuphine contraindications
- head injury
- undiagnosed abdo pain
precautions
-may cause withdrawal in opiate dependant patients
naloxone (generic)
Narcan (trade)
-opioid antagonist
