NSAIDs, anticholinergics Flashcards
Ketorolac Class
NSAID
Ketorolac Use
pain relief and anti-inflammatory
Ketorolac MOA
reduces inflammatory response by decreasing the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 and or 2, thus inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis
Ketorolac Dose
IV 15 - 30 mg, given during emergence
Lower dose for elderly and CKD
Ketorolac Pharmacokinetics
Onset = 30 min DOA = 4 - 6 hours Metabolism = hepatic Elimination = renal (60% unchanged)
Ketorolac Contraindications
Ortho surgery due to delay in bone healing
Bleeding risk with intracranial surgery
Ketorolac Considerations
- Decreases postop opioid requirements
- Low incidence of N/V
- Lack of respiratory depression
- Communicate with surgeon prior to admin
- Ok to use with stable and healing bone fracture
- Caution with asthma d/t bronchoconstriction d/t decrease in leukotriene production
- Caution with renal disease d/t renal vasoconstriction d/t decrease in leukotriene production
Atropine Class
Antimuscarinic (tertiary amine)
Atropine Use
bradycardia
Atropine MOA
Competative antagonism of ACh @ muscarinic receptors opposing PSNS
Atropine Dose
With edrophoniuim = 7 mcg/kg
Non-symptomatic bradycardia = titrate to effect with small doses
Sympomatic bradycardia in ACLS = 0.5 - 1 mg bolus, 3mg max
Atropine Pharmacokinetics
Onset = 1 - 2 min DOA = 1 - 2 hours Metabolism = liver Elimination = renal and hepatic
Atropine Contraindications
Caution with CAD, pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, and myasthenia gravis
Atropine Considerations
- crosses the BBB
Tachycardia, sedation, anticholinergic syndrome
Glycopyrrolate Class
antimuscarinic (quaternary ammonium)
Glycopyrrolate Use
Antisaligogue, often given with Neostigmine for reversal of NMB, bradycardia
