Drugs Flashcards
What is amiloride
Potassium conserving drug that is given w loop or thiazide to prevent potassium lossless
What precipitates dig tox
Hyokalemia
Half life of a drug and clearence
Inversely proportional
However directly proportional to volume of dostribution
Alfentanil rapid affect
2:2 90% unionized fraction while fentanyl is 9%
Morphine active metabolite
Morphine 6 glucouronide, mainly renally excreted and becomes accumulated in renal failure
Fentanyl duration
30 mins due to redistribution however termination 3-4 hours
Dose response curve
Is a graph that shows how much drug is needed to create a response on a slope
Steeper the graph, the less drug that is required
Opoid receptor activation leads to
By increasing potassium conductance and decreasing calcium conductance the neuornal pain pathways become hyper polorized which decreases the release of neurotransmitters
Mu 1 receptor
Mediate suprasspinal (brain) anagesia and kappa anelgesia.
Also causes muscle rigidty
Mu2
Causes resp depression
Meperidine and how its diffirent from other opiates
Decreases contractiliry, inc hr and mydriasis. Acts like atropine anti chol
Opiates blunt co2 chemoreceptors in medulla causing whay
Increase tidal volume and dec resp to maintain ventilkation
Chest wall rigidty with opiate
Central acting can be inhibitted by muscle relaxant
Meperidine inhibits shivering via
Kappa receptors
Properties of opiates that are resistant to tolerance
Constipation is resistant to tolerance meaning everyone gets it
Also miosis is resistant
