Box 1 Meds Flashcards
Midazolam/Versed Class
Benzodiazepine
Midazolam MOA
GABA agonist- open Cl channels longer, hyperpolarizes postsynaptic memrane (decreased excitability)
CNS depressant
**increases frequency of gaba mediated ion channel opening
Midazolam dosage
Induction: 0.1-0.2 mg/kg
Preop: 2-5 mg
IM: 0.07-0.08 mg/kg
Peds:
IV 0.025-0.05 mg/kg
PO 0.5 mg/kg
Spasm: 0.5-1 mg
Midazolam characteristics
O: 30-60 sec
P: 3-5 min
D: 15-80 min
Midazolam E/M
M: hepatic CYP450
E: urine
Midazolam considerations
Avoid in glaucoma
Decreases SVR, increases HR, Resp. Depression, decreases hypoxia drive
Reversal: Flumazenil
Give for postop stridor
Amnesiac effect, anticonvulsant, anxiety
Good for renal- no active metabolites
Fentanyl (Sublimaze) Class
Opioid agonist
Fentanyl MOA
Binds to opioid mu receptor, couples G proteins, causing hyperpolarization
No histamine release or CA depression
Fentanyl dosage
Ind: 50-100 mcg (1-2 mcg/kg)
Epid: 1-2 mcg/kg: 2-60 mcg/hr
Spinal: 0.1-0.4 mcg/kg
Ped: PO 15-20 mcg/kg
Fentanyl characteristics
O: immediate (2-5 min)
P: 3 min
D: 30-60 min
Fentanyl E/M
M: hepatic P450
E: renal
75% pulmonary uptake
Fentanyl considerations
Resp. Depression in neonate: crosses placenta
Can increase ICP in head injuries
Reversal: narcan
S/E: n/v/d, confusion
Decreases MAC requirement
Why give fentanyl preop
Decreases MAC requirement
Blunts SNS response so HR doesn’t increase for intubation and surgery
Fentanyl vial
100mcg/2ml or 250mcg/5ml
Propofol (Diprivan) class
Hypnotic/sedative
Propofol MOA
GABA agonist- keeps Cl channel open, hyperpolarizes postsynaptic membrane
98% protein bound
Propofol dosage
Adult induction: 1.5-2.5 mg/kg
Inf: 100-300 mcg/kg/min
Ped: 2.5-3.5 mg/kg
Propofol characteristics
O: <1 min
P: 1-2 min
D: 15-45 min
Propofol E/M
M: hepatic CYP450
E: renal
Clearance from plasma > hepatic blood flow
Lungs?
Propofol considerations
Supports growth of E. Coli
Anticonvulsant and amnestic
Pt >60 has decreased plasma cl. = lower ind. dose
No impairment of elim. In hepatic/renal dx
Can cause bronchoconstriction in asthmatic
Decreases CMRO2, CBF, ICP
Propofol vial
200 mg/ 20 ml = 10mg/ml
Rocuronium (Zemuron) class
Non-depolarizing NMB
Steroidal compound & intermediat acting mono-quaternary NMBD
Rocuronium MOA
Binds to nicotinic receptor- competitive antagonist of ACh
Rocuronium dosage
Adult & child intubation: 0.6-1.2 mg/kg
RSI: 1-1.2 mg/kg
DFasc: 10% (5-10mg)
Adult maintenance: 0.1-0.2 mg/kg
Ped maintenance: 0.08-0.12 mg/kg
