Q

MOA of alcohol toxicosis?

A

ethanol/methanol cause CNS depression as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol–acetaldehyde has vasodilator action and induces V+–acetate causes metabolic acidosis–ethanol inhibits ADH–irritation of MM

Q

What is included in the supportive/symptomatic tx of alcohol toxicosis?

A

IV injection of thiamine, sodium bicarb in lactated ringers solution, assisted ventilation, naloxone used to antagonize CNS depression, body temp should be monitored

23
Q

Uses of phenolic compounds?

A

disinfectants, antiseptics, germicides, creosote, TCP, and household cleaners–derived from coal tar

24
Q

What is the oral LD50 of phenolic compounds for most species?

25
What species are most sensitive and why?
cats bc they are deficient in glucuronidation
26
ADME of phenolic compounds?
A=from GIT, poor from intact skin (depends on concentration and surface area exposed) M=mainly in liver--glucuronidation E=metabolites in urine--glucuronide and sulfate conjugates
27
T/F Phenolic compounds are caustic.
TRUE!
28
T/F Phenolic compounds may cause red or brown urine.
FALSE--green or black!
29
MOA of phenolic compound toxicosis?
denature and precipitate cellular proteins leading to direct irritation causing coagulative necrosis; hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and neurotoxic; stimulate resp center causing hyperventilation and resp alkalosis
30
Damage to the liver, kidneys and nervous system with phenolic compound toxicosis occurs within?
12-24 hrs
31
Clinical signs of phenolic compound toxicosis?
oral mucosa and skin-->coagulative necrosis, ulceration, white plaques, intense pain ocular exposure-->corneal ulcerations systemic-->ataxia, weakness, tremors, seizures, coma characteristic phenolic odor of breath and skin
32
T/F Phenolic compound toxicosis causes methemoglobinemia and icterus.
TRUE!
33
Methemoglobinemia causes what color MMs?
muddy brown
34
Lesions seen with phenolic acid toxicosis?
ulceration and necrosis of GI mucosa and/or skin; liver changes-->severe centrilobular hyperemia, fatty degeneration and necrosis of the liver; kidney changes-->renal tubular degeneration and necrosis
35
Laboratory diagnosis of phenolic compound toxicosis?
chem analysis-->detect in urine unchanged or metabolites; hemolysis/methemoglobin; resp alkalosis; proteinuria and hematuria; elevated serum liver enzymes
36
Mix 10 mL of urine with 1 mL of 20% ferric chloride resulting in _____ color is phenols present.
purple
37
T/F Can use emetics or gastric lavage to decontaminate phenolic compounds.
FALSE--will cause mucosal damage
38
What can you use to decontaminate ingested phenol compounds?
milk, egg whites, followed by activated charcoal and saline cathartics--water is controversial
39
What can you use to decontaminate skin and eyes of phenolic compounds?
skin-->rapidly with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or glycerol followed by mild dish soap note: do not use oily dressings--enhances absorption eyes-->flush 20-30 mins with isotonic, isothermal saline
40
Supportive care for phenolic compound toxicosis?
N-acetylcysteine to limit liver/kidney damage; methylene blue, ascorbic acid if methemoglobinemia--concerns about tox in cats; fluid therapy increase renal elimination; cardiovascular, renal function and acid base status should be monitored
41
What are the 3 different classifications for detergents?
nonionic, anionic and cationic detergents
42
Rank the toxicities of the different detergents from least to most toxic.
nonionic- anionic - cationic
43
Examples of nonionic detergents?
soap, shampoo, dish soap, some laundry soaps
44
Examples of anionic detergents?
sulfonate or phosphorylated hydrocarbons; laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, some shampoos
45
Examples of cationic detergents?
quaternary ammonium compounds that contain a halogen--fabric softeners, liquid potpourri, germicides, sanitizers
46
Uses of detergents?
general home cleaners, liquid potpourris, more concentrated products available to reduce packaging
47
Source of detergent toxicosis?
accidental ingestion or dermal exposure
48
MOA of detergents?
corrosive--direct irritation of akin and MM quaternary ammonium compounds may be corrosive and may cause systemic toxicity--unclear mechanism perhaps neuromuscular block (paralysis)
49
Clinical signs of detergent toxicosis?
ingestion causes nausea, V+, D+ and colic. generally not fatal w/ non-ionic or anionic. quaternary ammonium compounds-->severe GI signs, dehydration, shock and collapse, also systemic signs similar to insecticides. dermal exposure may cause irritation--most severe w/ cationic
50
Treatment for nonionic detergent toxicosis?
rinse w/ copious water
51
Treatment for anionic detergent toxicosis?
water/milk for ingestion, activated charcoal if large quantities, bathing for dermal exposure, supportive care
52
Treatment for cationic detergent toxicosis?
water/milk/egg whites or activated charcoal to dilute and neutralize the alkaline; wash skin w/ soap and water
53
T/F Emesis and gastric lavage are generally contraindicated in cationic detergent toxicosis.
TRUE!
