26
Q

According to the TXWES medication guide, what are the doses for Acetaminophen (Ofirmev), Ketorlac (Toradol), & Ibuprofen (Caldor).

27
Q

A 50 y/o, 60 kg female patient received a Lidocaine initial dose of 1 mg/kg with a subsequent infusion of 1.5 mg/kg/hour for 1.5 hours. How much total Lidocaine in mgs did she receive in the PACU?

A

60kg x 1 mg/kg = 60 mg
60 kg x 1.5 mg/kg = 90 mg (1 hour)
(60 kg x 1.5mg/kg = 90 mg)/2 = 45 mg (30 minutes)

60+90+45 = 195 mg total!!!

28
Q

Multidose lidocaine vials are used for _____.

A

infiltration or peripheral nerve block.

29
Q

Lidocaine is an ______ structure local anesthetic.

Which drug is an exception to the amide/ester rule?

A
  • Amide (amides anesthetics have 2 “i”s)
  • Cocaine. Cocaine is also local amide anesthetic.
30
Q

How is lidocaine metabolized?

31
Q

What is the IV bolus and infusion dose of lidocaine?
When should the infusion be terminated?

A
  • 1 to 2 mg/kg IV bolus over 2-4 min.
  • 1 to 2 mg/kg/hr infusion
  • Terminated within 12-72 hours.
32
Q

Regarding Gabapentin’s preemptive analgesia, What 3 studies/ procedures is it used in?

A
  • Spine surgeries
  • Orthopedic procedures
  • Major abdominal procedures.

(slide 27)

33
Q

What is the PO dose of preemptive Gabapentin?
When should we give it?
What is it’s MOA?

A

300-1200mg PO
1-2 hrs prior to OR
GABA analogue

34
Q

For Preemptive Gabapentin, what patient population is it contraindicated for?

A
  • MG and Myoclonus patients
  • Reduce dose in elderly patients
35
Q

What are Gabapentin’s side effects?

A

Think ↑GABA effects

  • Somnolence
  • fatigue
  • ataxia
  • vertigo
  • GI disturbances: constipation
  • abrupt withdrawal in seizure pts (when Gaba is used as an antiepiliptic): causing seizures
  • wt gain
36
Q

For Ofirmev, what is the Dose, Peak effect time, and duration?

37
Q

What is the MOA for Ofirmev?

A

Reduces prostaglandin metabolites

38
Q

A

Anaphylaxis reaction

39
Q

For Ketorolac, what is the:

  • MOA
  • Peak
  • Dosing
A

MOA: Inhibits PG synthesis by inhibiting COX 1 and COX 2

Peak: 45 to 60 minutes IV

  • NSAID allergy
41
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what?

1-5 mcg/ml = ?

5-10 mcg/ml = ?

A

1-5 = analgesia

5-10 = circum-oral numbness; tinnitus; skeletal muscle twitching; systemic HYPOtension; myocardial depression

42
Q

Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what?

10-15 mcg/ml = ?

15-25 mcg/ml = ?

A

These are OD levels

10-15 = Sz’s; unconsciousness

15-25 = apnea (pons & medullary depression); coma

Q

Which procedure would you expect to see a high use of Lidocaine?
(HINT: Castillo mentioned this)

EGD’s
Castillo gives a “boatload” of lidocaine in EGD’s

(per Castillo)

44
Q

If we give Lido w/ Epi, should the dose be higher or lower?
Why?

A

Higher: epinephrine will locally vasoconstrict and prevent lidocaine leakage into the intravascular space.

(Castrater)

A

Lipid rescue

46
Q

Which patients receive magnesium sulfate most often per Castillo?

A

Preeclamptic & eclamptic OB patients.

47
Q

This med has anti-nociceptive effects by antagonizing the NMDA receptor and “probably” potentiates opioids centrally and peripherally.

  • Enzyme function
49
Q

Which ion has limited movement across the BBB?

50
Q

What conditions are contraindicative for magnesium administration?

A

Myasthenia Gravis & Renal Failure

51
Q

What adverse side effects could occur with Mg++?

A

Hypotension, bradycardia, ataxia, somnolence, decreased muscular tone.

52
Q

What is Mg⁺⁺ dosing for the following two situations?

Preop:
Intraop:

A
  • Preop: 50 mg/kg IV
  • Intraop: 8 mg/kg/hr IV
53
Q

What opioid requirement does the use of Mg++ significantly decrease?

54
Q

Ibuprofen:

  • MOA
  • Contraindications
  • Dose
  • Peak
  • Excretion
A
  • COX 1 & 2 Inhibition = ↓ PG synthesis
  • Nephropathy, CABG, bleeding disorders, wound healing
  • 200 - 800 mg QD
  • 1-2 hours
