reduces pain and anxiety, peripheral vasodilation

33
Q

What is the antidote for morphine?

A

Naloxaone/narcan

34
Q

what is the MOA of morphine sulfate?

A

opiate receptor agonist

35
Q

Side effects of morphine sulfate?

A

potential for respiratory depression- monitor. Severe hypotension.

36
Q

name an anti-platelet agent

A

Aspirin (ASA)

37
Q

what class is Aspirin/ASA?

A

Salicylate with anti-inflammatory analgesic and anti-pyretic properties

38
Q

What is the indication for aspirin use?

A

reduce risk of MI in unstable angina or prior infarct, dec risk of TIA and stroke. Also taken for fever, aches and pains.

39
Q

what is aspirin’s MOA?

A

irreversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2, preventing the formation of thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins > diminished platelet aggregation.

40
Q

Side effects of Aspirin?

A

GI ulceration, bleeding, salicylism: with hyperventilation, tinnitus, dizziness, N/V. Increased risk of Reyes syndrome in children w/fever and viral conditions.

41
Q

what class of drug is clopidogrel/plavix?

A

platelet aggregation inhibitor

42
Q

What is the indication for clopidogrel/plavix?

A

reduces thrombotic events, dec incidence of MI and stroke

43
Q

MOA of clopidogrel?

A

antagonist of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor site on platelets. ADP receptor blockade results in dec platelet aggregation.

44
Q

side effect of clopidogrel/plavix?

A

bleeding, nausea, headaches, neutropenia. CI in pts with active bleeding. Anti-platelet activity is irreversible.

45
Q

What do glycoprotein IIB/IIIA inhibitors do?

A

prevent the binding of fibrinogen, thereby blocking platelet aggregation

46
Q

what class of drug is Abciximab/ReoPro?

A

glycoprotein IIB/IIIA inhibitor

47
Q

what are the indications for abciximab/ReoPro?

A

reduces risk of MI

48
Q

MOA for Abciximab/ReoPro?

A

inhibition of glycoprotein IIB/IIIA receptor site on platelets prevents binding of fibrinogen and von willebrand’s factor to activate platelets resulting in dec platelet aggregation

49
Q

how is abciximab/reopro administered?

A

IV administration only

50
Q

Side effects of abciximamb?

A

increased bleeding. CI in pts with active internal bleeding, hx of hemorrhage, head trauma or stroke in last 30 days.

A

anticoagulant for unstable angina, acute MI, atrial fibrillation and DVT

54
Q

What is the antidote for heparin?

Protamine sulfate

55
Q

what does low molecular weight heparin do?

what is the MOA of enoxaparin

A

bind to and inactivates activated factor X (Xa)

59
Q

Side effects of enoxaparin

A

hemorrhage, caution in pts with liver disease, bleeding disorder or GI bleed. Discontinue if platelet count is under 100k/mm3

60
Q

What class is warfarin/coumadin?

A

oral anticoagulant

61
Q

what is warfarin/coumadin indicated for/.

A

prophylaxis and tx of DVT, PE, and thromboemolic events associated with atrial fib and cardiac valve replacement.

62
Q

MOA of warfarin/coumadin?

A

antagonizes vitamin K, interferes with synthesis of vitamin K dependent clotting factors (2, 7, 9, 10)

63
Q

Side effects of warfarin?

A

Bleeding, check PT and INR to maintain optimal blood levels

64
Q

What is the antidote for warfarin/coumadin?

65
Q

what category drugs is coumadin?

A

Category X- contraindicated in pregnancy.

66
Q

what class is rivaroxaban?

A

anticoagulant

67
Q

what is rivaroxaban indicated for?

A

prophylaxis of DVT which may lead to PE in those undergoing hip and knee replacement.

68
Q

what is the MOA of rivaroxaban/xarelto?

A

direct inhibition of factor Xa.

Given PO only!

69
Q

Side effects of rivaroxaban/xarelto?

70
Q

name a thrombolytic

A

Streptokinase

71
Q

what class is streptokinase

A

thrombolytic (“clot buster”)– only one that actively lyses clots

72
Q

what is streptokinase indicated for?

A

acute MI, acute ischemic stroke, acute DVT or PE.

73
Q

what the MOA of streptokinase?

A

activates plasminogen to plasmin> Plasmin digests fibrin and fibrinogen forming degradation products

74
Q

what is the origin of streptokinase? derived from…

A

isolated from streptococcus species-group C beta hemolytic strep. IV adminstration only!

75
Q

criteria for giving streptokinase?

A

the amount of time passes since MI or stroke…etc.

76
Q

side effects of streptokinase?

77
Q
