29
Q

What Opioid reverses Opioid Pure Agonists

A

Naloxone

which is an opioid - pure antagonist

30
Q

Opioid uses

A

Premeds/just sedation
In combo w/sedatives –> additive/synergistic effects
Periop analgesia
Intraop analgesia (balanced anx)

31
Q

Opioid –> mostly visceral; very low S/E

A

Butorphenol

opioid - agonist/antagonist

32
Q

Opioid –> commonly used in zoos

A

Naloxone

opioid - pure antagonist

33
Q
Opioids Effects
CNS
CV
Resp 
Analgesia
Reversible
A

CNS- Mild sedation; analgesia; behavioral changes (horse/cat)
CV- Histamine release after IV (Not Hydromorphine or Methadone); Decrease HR; Decrease BP; Vagal +
Resp- Decrease RR; decrease sensitivity to increase arterial ppCO2; Most dangerous effect at high dose (pure ag.)in resp decrease
Analgesia - YES
Reversible- Buprenorphine (partial agonist) is difficult to antagonize –> strong affinity for mu receps; Naloxone (pure antag) reverses pure agonists and has shorter 1/2 t than most opioids

34
Q

other facts about opioids

A

*Crosses placenta –> decrease resp rate in neonate
excreted in milk
*Emetic –> anti-emetic
increase bladder sphincter tone
antitussive (But.)
primary –> constipation
*Dogs –> Miosis (constriction of the pupil) and decrease temp
*Cats –> Mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and increase temp
*Auditory sensitivity increase with fentanyl in cats
can build up tolerance
