opioids Flashcards
opioid MOA
hyperpolarize nerve cells (open K+ channels)
inhibit NT release (block Ca2+ channels)
opioid OD
pinpoint pupils
endorphins
mu receptor
euphoria
dynorphins
kappa receptor
dysphoria
opioid SE
sedation respiratory depression anti-tussive nausea/vomiting constipation miosis urinary retention biliary spasm pruritis orthostatic hypotension prolong labor bronchoconstriction
morphine absorption
first pass metabolism
morphine distribution
all body tissue
morphine metabolism
conjugated in liver to glucronide
morphine excretion
urine
morphine toxicity
pinpoint pupils
respiratory depression
coma
tx:
establish airway
opioid antagonists
morphine tolerance
downregulation of opioid receptors
morphine abuse
euphoria
morphine withdrawal
abstinence syndrome (CNS overactivity)
tx: methadone buprenorphine clonidine naltrexone
morphone contraindications
COPD asthma increased ICP pregnant liver/kidney disease hypotension
meperidine vs morphine
less potent
shorter duration of action
less GI/biliary/uterine effect
anti-muscarinic effects (dilates pupil)
