Multimodal Pain Control Flashcards
at what temp does the pt have to be to be considered a payable event
at least 36 degrees celsius
two components of multimodal anes
short acting anesthetic agent and opioid sparing techniques
gabapentin is a structural analog of
gaba
gabapentin binds to
vg ca channels
moa of gabapentin
inhibition of excitatory nt release and inhibition of descending pain pathways
gabapentin has no
drug interactions
gabapentin can be used to treat
partial seizures and chronic pain
dose of gabapentin for preemptive analgesia
300-1200 mg
relative contraindications to gabapentin
myasthenia gravis and myoclonus
s/e of gabapentin
abrupt withdrawal in sz patients will cause seizures; pt becomes more somnolent and fatigued
COX catalyzes synthesis of
prostaglandin
COX1 is needed to
maintain homeostasis
many of the symptoms associated with used of nsaids is d/t blocking of
COX1 pathway
COX2 is an _______ form of pain
inducible
_____ inhibition of COX2 helps modulate pain
central
COX2 selective inhibitors have this advantage over nonselectives; what disadvantage?
does not block physiologic processes; possible MI and CVA
nsaid dosage ceiling
does not increase positive effects if you take more, but will increase negative effects
first COX2 selective inhibitor
celebrex or celecoxib
celebrex peaks at
3 hours
acetaminophen does not share this property with nsaids
anti inflammatory
peak po dose of tylenol
1-3 hours
peak iv dose of tylenol
30 mins-1 hour
