Q

onset of IV morphine

A

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

Q

doses of fentanyl

A

Q

nalbuphine use and dose, T1/2

A

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

52
Q

plasma [ ] curve

A
PK! Think ADME
-Y axis [vertical] = concentration 
-X axis [horizontal] = time 
-Know it’s IV bc no 1st-pass effect 
-Distribution 1st part - alpha
Drug that wears off bc of distribution: propofol, fentanyl, all the induction agents 
  • Elimination - beta
  • Drug that is offset bc of this: morphine, diazepam (anything with an active metabolite)
53
Q

dose-response curve

A
  • Efficacy (y-axis) - effect
  • Potency (x-axis) - dose
  • Don’t know how potent the drug is, unless you have something to compare it to
  • Test: lots of dose-response curves and you’ll be asked questions about those drugs
  • Lipophilic drugs tend to wear off bc of redistribution. Nonlipophilic drugs tend to wear off bc of metabolism/elimination
  • Morphine has a longer half-life than ____
54
Q

remifentanil, NSAIDs, NMBDs

55
Q

draw an ester linkage

C (=O)OC

56

– just need to know that they’re phase I dealkylation processes
*No n versus o dealkyl….

57

LD50/ED50 “The Whole Index of the Drug”

58
Q

therapeutic window

A

TD50/ED50 “Window – where we live”

  • ED95 in between the ED50 an TD50
  • Captures top curve of the ED, bottom curve of TD

“Out of 100 pts, 95 will get pain relief, and only 5 will get constipation”

59
Q

drug that can be given to treat opioid-induced biliary spasm

A

glucagon 2 mg will reverse smooth muscle spasm without antagonizing analgesic effects (biggest culprit is morphine), but you really should just avoid it if your pt is having a cholecystectomy

60
Q

drug that you can give to combat GI SEs of opioids

A

narcan works everywhere, but methylnaltrexone works only in the gut

61
Q

what 2 drugs act on DA receptors to produce antiemetic effects?

A
  • butyrophenones, phenothiazines
  • this supports the claim that opioid-induced N/V is due to activation of DA-2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the medulla (other receptor is 5HT3-serotonin)
62
Q

A

1.7-3.3 (stoelting)
