A

Mu agonist, antagonism of NMDA and SSRI (leading to chronic neuropathic pain control with psych helping also). May lead to upregulation of NMDA receptors + NO release -> Hyperalgesia. Can still cause respiratory depression; QTc prolong [needs ekg monitoring]

47

A

P-Edema, hyperalgesia

48
Q

NSAID MOA and limitation

A

Inhibit COX affecting synthesis of prostaglandin. [PGE2: sensitization nociceptors +hyperalgesia]; Has Ceiling effect.

51
Q

COX2 inhibitor AE

A

Fluid retention and HTN

52
Q

COX 1 vs COX 2

A

1: Consitutive enzyme that produce prostaglandin for house keeping (gastric protection + hemostasis); 2: Inducible form of enzyme that produces prostaglandin that mediate pain, inflam, fever and carcinogenesis

53
Q

Majority of Metabolite from Liver 60%, Hyperalgesia; agitation, myoclonus, delirium

60
Q

Morphine 6 glucuronide

A

Drowsiness, n/v, coma, respiratory depression

61
Q

Codeine In peds

A

Neonates have Decreased CYP2D6 x 2 wks (which converts to active form, morphine) -> Less sensitivity to codeine vs kids

62
Q

Morphine in Peds

A

Neonates are more sensitive to morphine -> Decrease in ventilatory response at lower CO2 vs adults

63
Q

Metabolism of Morphine Which enzyme

A

UGT2B7 (UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase-2B7)

64
Q

Metabolism of Fentanyl and tramadol and effects on peds

A

to Norfentanyl and Nortramadol; CYP3A4 (also affects Methadone). premmies+Neonates Less of this enzyme -> more suscpetible

65
Q

Methadone Cardiac AE and CoRF

A

QT Prolongation esp with CYP3A4 inhbiitors.

66
Q

Best analgesic effectiveness of continuous epidural infusion; PC epidural analgesia; PCA and PRN

A

CEI>PCEA>PCA>PRN

67
Q

Why Epidural > Opioids

A

Less Mortality; PNA, Ileus, Less time before ambulation

68
Q

Fentanyl premedication effect

A

Sensitize pt to pain postop

69
Q

effect of ssri on opioids metabolism

A

inhibit cyp2d6, leading to slower onset for any codone derivative to morphine

70
Q

Opioid Effect CVS

A

Decreases sympathetic tone/inc muscarinic -> dec MAP, dec VR

71
Q

Opioids and LFT

A

Hypoalbuminemia increases free opioids in the blood, decreasing total requrirement

72
Q

Fastest Onset Opioid and why

A

Alfentanil (acceleration; 1.1min) due to low pka (6.5) -> low lipid solubility; 4s: 4x faster onset; 1/4 duration, 1/4 potency

73
Q

Strongest Opioid

A

Sufenanil (super)

74
Q

Opioid Onset of action Key Factor

A

Unionized Fraction/ Low Lipid solubility

75
Q

Opioid Duration Factor

A

Low solubility means longer
