JUST DOSES AND OTHER NUMBERS Flashcards
pKa of fentanyl
8.4
onset of IV morphine
15-30 minutes (more nonionized than fentanyl but really not lipophilic)
ex: think about 9% of fentanyl being nonionized but 20% of morphine being nonionized
pKa of morphine
less than fentanyl (8.4)
7.9
active metabolite of morphine
(5-10% of metabolites) morphine-6-glucuronide
longer duration of action, 65x more potent than morphine
fentanyl onset
1-3 minutes
fentanyl potency compared to morphine
75-125x more potent
Vd of fentanyl
LARGE, >80% leaves the plasma in less than 5 minutes
(lowest ratio of nonionized to ionized, but highest lipophilicity)
3-4L
active metabolite of meperidine
90% demethylization to normeperidine (other one is hydrolysis to get meperidinic acid)
1/2 as active as meperidiine
T1/2 is 15 hrs! 30+ if renal failure pt!!
CS 1/2 time of fentanyl & sufentanil
increases with gtt >2 hrs
doses of fentanyl
- to block SNS response to surgical stimulation, and induction/intubation: 1-3 ug/kg prior to induction
- as sole surgical anesthetic (pure fentanyl induction - rare): 50-150 ug/kg
(transdermal patch applied preop and left for 24 hrs –> decreases IV requirements)
sufentanil dose
analgesia: think 5-10x more potent than fentanyl (so go with 1/10 dose)
0. 1-0.4 ug/kg
induction dose can cause chest wall rigidity (vs laryngeal?)
alfentanil pKa
6.5
alfentanil dose
- 15 μg/kg IV – blunts stim of laryngoscopy
- 30 μg/kg IV – catech response to noxious stim
- 150-300 μg/kg IV – produces unconsciousness (induction)
- Combo with inhaled anesthetic 15-150 ug/kg/hr
Vd of remifentanil versus fentanyl
fentanyl: 3-4 L/kg (large distribution)
remifentanil: 0.5 L/kg
remifentanil CS 1/2 time
4 minutes
plasma esterases in the bloodstream are always working
remifentanil dose
Remi is a tiny mouse, remi gets a tiny dose.
induction: 1 mcg/kg bolus, followed by gtt of 0.05-0.2 mcg/kg/min
analgesia: gtt same as induction gtt dose
sedation: 0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min in combo with midaz 2 mg
drugs so far that have sz-like activity
etomidate, fentanyl, remifentanil, hydromorphone
tramadol may lower sz threshold
T1/2 methadone
12 hrs
hydromorphone dose
5x more potent than morphine, so ~2 mg?
slightly shorter duration of action
methadone dose
Think quarter and 20
for opioid w/d:
- Can substitute for morphine at ¼ the dosage
- 20 mg IV, produces postop analgesia >24 hours
- But not as much euphoria
chronic pain medication use effect on opioid dosing
you might have to give HIGHER than the normal dosing range to get effect
nalbuphine use and dose, T1/2
true agonist-antagonist: chemically related to oxymorphone and naloxone
analgesic properties of morphine, 1/4 antagonist of nalorphone
T1/2 3-6 hours
aside: if given before opioid, it can reduce effects of morphine-like drugs intraop. If given after opioid, it can reverse depression of ventilation effects (up to 30 mg) but maintain analgesia
dose of naloxone
1-4 mcg/kg IV
5 mcg/kg/hr can fix depression of ventilation without affecting analgesia
“I would not give the whole dose at once”
PO 1/5 as effective bc of 1st pass in liver
T1/2 of naloxone
30-45 minutes
“effects of the reversal agent don’t last as long as the narcotic”
