Q

Most opioids are metabolized by the liver. Which is not and what is it metabolized by?

A

Remifentanil and is metabolized by nonspecific esterases in the blood stream.

21
Q

Agonist/antagonist opioids work on what receptor(s) for therapeutic effect

A

Primarily Kappa

Also on delta

22
Q

Naloxone reverses what actions of opioids

A

Pruritus
Urinary retention
N/V

23
Q

Higher doses of naloxone are required to reverse what opioid issue

A

Reverse profound sedation and respiratory depression

24
Q

Does morphine produce arterial or venous dilation

A

Both due to histamine release

25
Q

What two opioids cause histamine release

A

Morphine and Meperidine

26
Q

There are 3 CV actions that may cause a decrease in BP in an anesthetized patient given a high dose of fentanyl

A
Decrease SVR (dilate arterial vessels
Decrease venous return (dilate venous capacitance vessels
Decrease in HR
27
Q

how are esters hydrolyzed

A

Hydrolyzed by plasma and tissue cholinesterase

28
Q

PABA is excreted where

A

urine

29
Q

is there cross contamination between esters and amides

A

no

30
Q

how could an ester be prolonged

A

plasma cholinesterase deficiency

31
Q

what is responsible for esters reaction

A

PABA is responsible for the greater portion of allergic reactions to esters

32
Q

Lipid solubility =

A

potency of LA

33
Q

Protein binding =

A

duration of LA

34
Q

37
Q

Treatment of LA Toxicity?

A

Limit: 10 mL/Kg over 30 minutes

38
Q

nitrous administered alone does not cause hypotension but instead causes

A

When administered alone Nitrous does not cause hypotension but instead causes cutaneous vasoconstriction and increased SVR

39
Q

when administered alone what does nitrous cause

A

Nitrous will cause an increase in cardiac output when administered alone

40
Q

Dose limit for exogenous Epi

A

5-6 mcg/kg with these volatiles

41
Q

A

Keep 0.5 ml/kg/hour

Hemodynamics

43
Q

These three depress cerebral metabolic rate the most…

these two depress it less
