Lecture 45+46+DLA Flashcards
mild pain
aspirin, acetaminophen, NSAIDS
moderate pain
Aspirin, acetaminophen + opioids
codeine, oxycodone, or tramadol
severe pain
Morphine, methadone, fentanyl, + nonopioid analgesics
What contributes to oligoanalgesia
- few protocols and policies on opioids
- little training on pain management
- limited access to info
- unnecessarily restrictive polices on opioids
Quality of Life (QOL)
5 key things
Pain Nausea and vomiting Agitation Dyspnoea Retained respiratory secretions (RTS)
the three main mechanisms of antibodies
- neuralization - prevents bacterial adherence
- opsonization - ab promotes phagocytosis
- complement activation - enhances opsonization and lyse bacteria
the action of FceRI
activation and degranulation of mast cells and basophils
FcyRI
activation of phagocytoses
fcyRIIB
feedback inhibitor of B cells
fcyRIIIA
antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
natural immunity
acquired as part of normal life
active or passive
artificial immunity
acquired through a medical procedure such as a
vaccine
active or passive
active immunity
results when a person is challenged with antigen that stimulates production of antibody.
It creates memory, takes time and is lasting
passive immunity
pre-formed antibody are donated to an individual.
It does not create memory, acts immediately, and is
short term.
