4. Psych Flashcards
antidepressants
TCA
SSRI
MAOI
TCA mech
block reuptake of NE and/or 5HT
(possibly dopamine)
TCA SE
muscarinic block
H1 block
alpha 1 block
chronic TCA SE
decr NE stores
what drugs should you avoid with TCA
anti-muscarinic (additive)
pancuronium
ketamine
meperidine
epi
why avoid pancuronium w/TCA
pancuronium blocks reuptake of NE
why avoid ketamine w/TCA
ketamine blocks reuptake of NE
why avoid meperidine w/TCA
weak block of reuptake of serotonin
why avoid epi w/TCA
adrenergic agonist incr NE
best vasopressor for pts on TCA
phenylephrine
TCA prototype
amitriptyline
general antidepressant protocol before surgery
continuation
why do you not stop antidepressants
causes discontinuation syndrome
discontinuation syndrome timeline
starts 1-2 days after stopping
lasts 2- 3 weeks
discontinuation syndrome SE
nausea/GI pain
insomnia
sweating
low mood
TCA ECG changes
wide QRS
QT prolongation
conduction abnormalities
SSRI mech
inhbit reuptake of 5HT
* greater serotonin block than other anti-depressants*
SSRI drug interaction
fluoxetine
drugs that inhibit CYP450
drugs that block serotinin reuptake
drugs that inhibit MAO
drugs that enhance serotonin release
SSRI caution
serotonin syndrome
serotonin syndrome triad
cognitive
autonomic
somatic
serotonin syndrome triad: cognitive
delerium
confusion
coma
serotonin syndrome: autonomic
labile BP
tachycardia
hyperthermia
