40
vesicant
blister agent
41
infiltration
harmless leakage of IV into extravascular tissue
42
why is vancomycin difficult to administer?
this drug is difficult to administer b/c it has a long half life so it takes a while to be effective, but can cause red man syndrome if given too quickly or too much
43
how to gauge how much vancomycin to administer?
stat loading dose
44
bioavailability
fraction of unchanged drug that reaches systemic circulation
45
clearance
volume of blood/plasma cleared of drug in a unit time
46
plasma steady state conc (Css)
rate of drug administered (Ko)/clearance
47
what does elimination half-life (t1/2) depend on?
this directly depends on volume of distribution (Vd) and inversely on clearance (CL)
48
apparent volume of distribution (Vd)
total amount of drug in body/blood plasma concentration of drug
49
is primary or secondary hypertension more common
primary (idiopathic) cause of this CV condition is more common than secondary
50
possible causes of secondary hypertension
- renal disease (bad BP control) - diabetes thus damaged endothelium - endocrine disorders - coarctation of aorta - some drugs (contraceptives, NSAIDS, etc) - pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and eventually eclampsia)
51

52
how does hypertension cause heart failure? (2)

describe symptoms of class I hypertension
this class of hypertension has narrows retinal arteries
55
describe symptoms of class II hypertension

82
describe vasodilator effect of organic nitrates (glyceryl trinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate)
