Analegesic/ Cardiac/ Benzo Actions Flashcards
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Helps relieve moderate to severe pain. it works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Dilaudid belongs to a class of drug known as opioid analgesic.
Fentanyl Citrate (Sublimaze) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Binds to opioid receptors, producing analgesia and euphoria.
Morphine Sulfate (Roxand, MS Contin) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Alleviates pain through CNS action. Suppresses fear and anxiety centers in the brain. Depresses Brain-stem respiratory centers. Increases peripheral venous capacitance and decreases venous return. Decreases pre-load and after-load, which decreases myocardial oxygen demand.
Naloxone Hydrochloride (Narcan) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Competitive inhibition at narcotic receptor sites. Reverses respiratory depression secondary to opiate drugs. Completely inhibits the effects of morphine.
Nitrous Oxide 50:50 (Nitronox) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Exact mechanism unknown; affect CNS Phospholipids.
Ketorolac Tromethamine (Toradol) Analgesic/Cardiac
A: Potent analgesic that does not possess and sedative or anxiolytic activities by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Diazepam (Valium) Benzodiazepine
A: Potentiates effects of inhibitory neurotransmitters. Raises the seizure threshold. Induces amnesia and sedation.
Flumazenil (Romazicon) Benzodiazepine
A: Antagonizes the action of benzodiazepine on the CNS, reversing the sedative effects.
Larazepam (Ativan) Benzodiazepine
A: Anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and sedative effect; suppresses propagation of seizure activity producing by foci in cortex, thalamus and limbic areas.
Midazolam Hydrochloride Benzodiazepine
A: Reversibly interacts with gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) receptors in the CNS causing sedative, anxiolytic, amnesic, and hypnotic effects.
