Q

MOA Sufentanil?

A

Opioids act as agonists at specific opioid receptors at sites in the CNS as well as the periphery. Opioids mimic the action of endogenous ligands by binding to opioid receptors, resulting in activation of pain-modulating system.

Q

Ketamine MOA?

A

exact MOA is unknown; primarily a noncompetitive antagonist for NMDA receptors, also acts on opioid, monoaminergic, muscarinic and neuronal nicotinic Ach receptors. High lipid solubility, not significantly bound to plasma proteins therefore peak brain concentration may be 5x that of plasma concentrantion.

25
Flumazenil dose for adults? Dose if person becomes resedated? Max dose for no repsonse to Flumazenil?
0.2-1.0 mg IV boluses titrated to the patient’s response; up to 3 mg per hour. After an initial response, patients may become resedated once the effects of flumazenil have subsided, in which case an IV infusion of flumazenil may be administered (0.1-0.4 mg/hr) until the benzodiazepine effects have resolved. Lack of patient response after 5mg suggests that benzodiazepines are not the cause of sedation.
26
MOA of flumazenil?
competitively inhibits the activity at the benzodiazepine recognition site on the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex.
27
Elimination of Flumazenil (half-life)?
Flumazenil is quickly metabolized by hydroxylation through hepatic microsomal enzymes to inactive metabolites with a half-life of about 1 hour.
28
Flumazenil: Onset? Peak? Duration?
O: 1-2 minutes P: 2-10 minutes D: 30-60 minutes, depending on benzodiazepine plasma concentration.
29
Flamazenil and NMB, whats the deal?
Do not use flumazenil until the effects of neuromuscular blockade have been fully reversed.
30
If you do not have a patient response to Flamazenil and you have given 5mg, what does that mean?
No patient response by 5 mg total dose suggests that benzodiazepines are not the cause of sedation or cardiopulmonary depression.
31
Narcan, other name?
Naloxone
32
Classification of Narcan?
Nonselective competitive Opioid antagonist (MU, KAPPA, DELTA) *greatest affinity to MU receptors
33
Contraindications to Narcan?
Use naloxone with caution in patients with pre-existing cardiac dz. (this is bc when you reverse opioids you may see tachycardia, hypertension, pulmonary edema, cardiac dysrhythmias, and even ventricular fib.)
34
Dose of Naloxone?
1-4mcg/kg IV pormptly reverses opioid-induced analgesia and depression of ventilation. May repeat 2-3 minute intervals, response should occur with max dose of 1mg.
35
MOA Narcan?
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that inhibits the uptake of opioids at the opioid receptor sites.
36
Elimination half time of Narcan?
60-90 min.
37
Naloxone: Onset? Peak? Duration?
O: 2 minutes IV P: 5-15 minutes D: 30-45 minutes (the short duration of action is presumed to be due to its rapid removal from the brain)
38
Naloxone, does it cross the placenta, and what does this mean for the neonate?
easily crosses the placenta, thus if used in an opioid dependent parturient may produce acute withdrawal in the neonate.
39
Supply of Narcan in vial concentration?
0.4mg/ml
40

Phenylephrine (Neo) is preferred choice of sympathomimetic for treatment of maternal hypotension. Studies demonstrated phenylephrine is associated with lower rates of fetal acidosis vs ephedrine .
44
What two drugs can potentiate the effects of ephedrine?
tricyclic antidepressants and MAOI
45
Dose of Ephedrine for perioperative hypotension
5-10 mg IV bolus (per push) | books will state 5-25mg, but over 10mg in one push is a bit much
46
Ephedrine can be used for more than just perioperative hypotension, what are two other uses? (not very common)
Oral for bronchial asthma due to Beta 2 adrenergic agonist. | IM for antiemetic effect (less sedation compared to droperidol)
47
MOA of Ephedrine?
indirectly stimulates alpha- and beta- adrenergic receptors; Direct stimulation of adrenergic receptors AND stimulation of release of endogenous norepinephrine (indirect acting)
48
Ephedrine: Onset? Peak? Duration?
O: IV, immediate P: IV, immediate D: 10-60 min. IV
49
Ephedrine compared to epinephrine?
The CV effects of ephedrine resemble those of epinephrine, but its systemic blood pressure–elevating response is less intense and lasts approximately 10 times longer.
50
What happens with a 2nd dose of ephedrine?
Second dose produces a less intense CV response (tachyphylaxis)
51
Supply of ephedrine in vial (concentration)?
50mg/ml
52
**How will you dilute ephedrine from vial dose in order to use as a push?
