Q

Pharmacokinetics of aspirin

A

A: rapidly absorbed in the stomach in its nonionized form due the acidic pH
D: small volume of distribution (-0.2 L/kg) and hightly protein bound
M: metabolized via the liver; rapidly hydrolyzed to salicylic acid
E: excreted via the kidney (half life 2-3 hrs, half life at high doses: 12 hours)

66
Q

Toxicokinetics of aspirin

A

-delayed absorption due to pylorospasm. and bezoar formation in the stomach
-peak concentrations may not be seen until 24 - 36 hrs after ingestion with enteric coated products
-decreased protein binding & larger volume of distribution (higher drug concentrations and low pH, larger amounts of free drug reach the tissue)
-prolonged half-life due to hepatic metabolism saturation (salicylate elimination changes from 1st order kinetics to 0 order kinetics)

67
Q

Acute salicylic toxicity: signs and symptoms

A

-N/V
-GI irritation
-tinnitus
-tachypnea/hypopnea
-respiratory alkalosis or respiratory acidosis
-metabolic acidosis (anoin gap or non-anoin gap)
-altered mental state/ hallucination
-coma/seizures
-hyper or hypo glycemia
-pulmonary edema
-hepatic injury
-coagulopathy *
-cerebral edema *
-acute respiratory distress syndrome *
-hyperthermia *

*these have the gravest clinical consequences

68
Q

Acid-base stages in salicylic toxicity: early

A

-primary respiratory alkalosis, alkalemia and alkaluria
–> serum pH and urine pH are elevated

69
Q

Acid-base stages in salicylic toxicity: intermediate

A

-mixed respiratory alkalosis and anoin gap metabolic acidosis, alkalemia and aciduria
–> elevated serum pH
–> low urine pH

70
Q

Acid-base stages in salicylic toxicity: late

A

-metabolic acidosis with either a respiratory alkalosis or respiratory acidosis, acidemia and aciduria
–> serum and urine pH will be low

71
Q

chronic salicylic toxicity: signs & symptoms

A

-nonspecific symptoms and often misdiagnosed
-severe toxicity is associated with serum concentrations > 60 mg/dl, altered mental status, and acid-base disturbances
-cerebral edema and acute lung injury may be present

72
Q

acute salicylic toxicity characteristics

A

-younger
-intentional
-easily diagnosed
-suicidal ideation
-severely elevated serum concentrations
-death is uncommon

73
Q

chronic salicylic toxicity characteristics

A

-older
-iatrogenic/unintentional
-underrecongnized as a diagnosis
-intermediate elevation in serum concentrations (can be missed)
-death is more common due to delayed recognition

74
Q

Evaluation and diagnostic testing with serum salicylate levels

A

-toxicity is associated with serum concentrations > 30 mg/dL
-acute toxicity:
–> mild symptoms: > 150-200
–> severe symptoms: > 300-500 mg/kg
-chronic toxicity: > 100 mg/kg/day for several days
-blood gas and anion gap to classify acid-base disorder

75
Q

Supportive therapies for salicylate toxicity

A

1: 0.5 - 1 gram/kg dextrose followed by additional bolus doses or a continuous infusion for severe salicylate toxicity

-multiple dose activated charcoal (MDAC): prevents absorption of unabsorbed salicylates, consider if pharmacobezoar or extended release preparation is suspected
-hypovolemia should be corrected with administration of crystalloids

76
Q

Serum and urine alkalization in salicylate toxicity

A

-want to shift salicylate out of the brain and tissues into the serum to promote renal elimination
–> IV sodium bicarbonate is recommended for all symptomatic pts
-bolus dose: 1-2 mEq/kg

A

-in the presence of TCAs the sodium channel is altered slowing the rate of rise of action potential
