ANTACIDS (no questions)/PROKINETIC Flashcards
Mendelson’s syndrome: aspiration definition
Aspiration is the inhalation of gastric or oropharyngeal contents into the lungs
Mendelson’s syndrome aka
Peptic-aspiration pneumonia and is chemical pneumonitis causes by aspiration during anesthesia
Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents will most likely cause
some degree of pulmonary complication
The severity of pulmonary complication will vary depending on the
volume of the fluid aspirated and the pH of the aspirate
Prevention of aspiration
PIG RIA the patient means what?
Performing an awake intubate or awake extubation
Increase pH of the gastric contents (antacids)
Give pro kinetics agent
Rapid sequence intubation with cricoid pressure
Inserting an NG tube
Allow adequate NPO time
widely accepted for defining aspiration
25mls or greater and or a pH of <2.5 wiIl cause aspiration pneumonitis.
Gastric ph is above 2.5
Gastric volume is 25ml
ASPIRATION risk factors
Elderly Obese Pregnant Hx of CVA emergency surgery Huntington's Chorea Parkings Cancer of esophageal Hiatal hernai Bil vocal cold paralysis GI disorder High ASA score (3 or greater)
Prokinetic agents
agents that enhance coordinated GI motility and transit of material in the GI tract
Prokinetic agents effects (4)
Increased GI motility
Increase peristaltic contractions
Increase/accelerates gastric emptying
Increase Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone
Cisapride effects
oral agent gastric motility
NASTY drug
Enhance the release of ACH at the myenteric plexus and is a 5-HT4 receptor agonist (G-Metoclopramide coupled receptors).
Restricted use of Cisapride
routine use can lead to Vfib and torsade
Domperidone actions
block D1 and D2 receipts with antiemetic properties
Domperidone facilitates
facilities smooth muscle activity by inhibiting dopamine at the D1 receptors.
MetoCLOPARMIDE is a
Dopamine antagonists acts as a GI pro kinetic drug
MOA of metocloplamide
What would block the effect of reglan
- Selective cholinergic stimulation of the GI tract by enhancing the response to Ach of tissue in the upper GI tract primarily via 5-HT4 receptor agonists
- Dopamine 2 receptor antagonism in the GI tract.
Any muscarinic antagonists will BLOCK the effect of reglan
