Lab test 4: opiods, NSAID and anaesthetics Flashcards

1
Q

What are the side effects of the ultra short acting barbiturates?

A

-Small therapeutic index, side effects can be life threatening
-Pronounced resp. dep. (dose-dependent, reversible) (serious in neonates)
-Cardiovascular dep. → hypotension → tachycardia (dose
dependent or individual sensitivity → irreversible)
-Tissue irritation (should be applied IV)
-Prae- and postnarcotic excitation

Q

Describe the AMES test.

A
  • Used to see whether a given chemical can cause mutations in the DNA of the test organism, leading to cancer.
  • The test drug is mixed with top agar along with bacteria (most commonly Salmonella typhimurium) and rat liver homogenate.
  • The mixture is then spread on an agar plate containing a small amount of Histidine (growth medium allowing the bacteria to grow and have the opportunity to mutate).
  • When the histidine is depleted only bacteria that have mutated to gain the ability to produce its own histidine will survive.
  • The mutagenicity of a drug is proportional to the number of colonies observed on the agar plate after a certain time.

Q

Explain teratogenicity.
How many species are needed to be tested?
Which species are they? And Why?

A
  • A teratogen is an agent that can disturb the development of the embryo or fetus. Teratogenic drugs halt the pregnancy or produce a congenital malformation (a birth defect).
  • Need to test on at least two species.
  • Usually rat and rabbit.
  • Some species may not suffer from any side effects of the teratogens and so it’s important to test on other species.

Q

Name the side effects of Propofol?

A
  • larger therapeutic index
  • pronounced resp. dep.
  • apnoe after quick adm! (inj. should last for 30-45sec)
  • cardiovascular dep → hypotension (can be pronounced in endocardosis, DCM)
  • because of respiratory and cardiovascular side effects their use is limited in risk patients
  • prae- and postnarcotic excitation is rare
17
Q

What is the difference between the neuroleptoanalgesia and general anaesthesia?

A
  • General anaesthesia is the loss of consciousness and reduction of motoric and sensory functions to a level, where any operation can be executed. The respiratory and cardiovascular functions are maintained.
  • Neuroleptoanalgesia is a state of indifference to, or reduced appreciation of pain brought about by the use of Neuroleptics and Analgesic drugs. Consciousness is retained. Neuroleptanalgesia allows surgery to be performed without inducing general or local anaesthesia.
18
Q

NSAIDs are harmful to which organs? What do you use to counteract them?

A
  • Liver → Give liver protectants
  • Kidneys → Give sodium bicarbonate to treat metabolic acidosis
  • G.I tract. → Give proton pump inhibitors for stomach irritation, activated charcoal for GI irritation
  • Cartilage → (prostaglandin E1 analogue misoprostol)
19
Q

(Text with blanks to fill up)
NSAID are acting on ……?…… which have minimum ……?…… isoenzymes. Among them …… ?…… is acing only on CNS and this drug is only inhibiting it ……?…… so it’s not anti inflammatory but minor analgesic.

A

NSAID are acting on ……Cox enzymes…… which
have minimum ……3…… isoenzymes. Among them ……Cox3…… is acing only on CNS and this drug is only inhibiting it ……paracetamol…… so it’s not anti inflammatory but minor analgesic.
