MAGA- Exam 2 Flashcards
Multimodal anesthesia for GA
What enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of prostaglandins?
COX (Cyclooxygenase)
This form of COX is responsible for gastric protection, hemostasis, and renal function…
COX-1
COX-1 or COX-2?
Ubiquitous, “physiologic”, inhibition is responsible for many adverse effects
COX-1
COX-1 or COX-2?
Pathophysiologic, expressed at sites of injury, not protective
COX-2
COX-2 is responsible for which symptoms?
Pain, inflammation, and fever
What are the three main properties of NSAID drugs?
Analgesic
Anti-inflammatory
Antipyretic
Slide 34
What are types of non specific NSAIDS
ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, tylenol
Increased gastric irritation with these drugs
Slide 34
Multimodal includes _____ acting anesthetics agents and _______ sparing components.
short acting; Opioid sparing.
slide 2
Celecoxib (Celebrex), Rofecoxib (Vioxx), Valdecoxib (Extra), Parecoxib (Dynastat) are all examples of what?
COX-2 Selective NSAIDs
Do COX-2 selective NSAIDs effect platelets?
NO
Slide 35
Because COX-2 selective NSAIDs have no effect on platelets, that increase the chance of what two disease processes?
MI and CVA
Slide 35
COX-2 selective inhibitors have what effects compared to non specific
Comparable analgesia
It may be associated with lower GI effects
possible increased risk in MI and CVA
dosage ceiling causes incresased side effects
Slide 35
What was the first COX-2 inhibitor that decreases PG synthesis?
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Slide 36
What is the dosage for Celebrex?
When does it reach its peak?
200 to 400 mg PO QD
peak- 3 hours
Slide 36
Define non-opioid anesthesia. List some alternatives to treat pain.
PT & OT, Chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, yoga, weight loss, cold/heat, OTC medications, TENS unit…etc.
slide 11-12
What is the pain response pathway? (5)
slide 17
(this was in the pain pathway slide set too)
What are the 2 classes of opioids?
1) Phenanthrenes (L-isomers have opioid activity; morphine, codeine)
2) Benzylisoquinolones (Lack opioid activity; Papaverine, noscapine)
slide 19
What drug class does Ondansetron fall into?
It is the first 5-HT3 antagonist
-It was approved for CINV
-Responsiveness decreased by variations in the CYP2D6 activity!
(Slide 51)
Ondansetron is equivocal to what two drugs?
Droperidol & Metoclopramide
What are the side effects of Ondansetron?
HA, Constipation and some QT prolongation!
What is the duration & dose of Ondansetron?
Duration/plasma half life is 4 hours!
Dose: Adults: 4 mg IV (up to 8 mgs)
Dose: Pediatrics: 0.1 mg/kg IV
(Slide 51)
What is the MOA of Corticosteroids?!
Corticosteroids increase the effectiveness for which meds?
MOA is unknown: It works on glucocorticoid receptors in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS)!
Corticosteroids increase effectiveness for 5 HT3 antagonists and droperidol!
What is the dose for Dexamethasone (Decadron)?!
What is the MOA of Dexamethasone (Decadron)?
4-10 mg
MOA: Anti-inflammatory; inhibition of phospholipase and cytokines and stabilization of cellular membrane.
(Slide 53)
What is the delay of onset of Dexamethasone (Decadron)?
Are there any adverse effects of a single dose of Dexamethasone (Decadron)?
Delay in onset is 2 hours! Efficacy persists for 24 hours!
No adverse effects of single dose- diabetics will be fine
-Causes perineal itching and burning if given fast
(Slide 53)
According to the TXWES medication guide, what are the doses for Acetaminophen (Ofirmev), Ketorlac (Toradol), & Ibuprofen (Caldor).
Slide 62
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?
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!!!
(Slide 59)
What kind of properties does propofol have?
Analgesic properties; used as a short acting anesthetic agent
Slide 42
Ketamine inhibits _____ activation.
NMDA
(We do not need to know TEAMHealth Formula in this slide)
What is the induction dose of Ketamine?
0.5-1.5 mg/kg/IV
4-8 mg/kg IM
Slide 43
What is the maintenance dose of Ketamine?
0.2-0.5 mg/kg IV analgesia
4-8 mg/kg IM
