Morphine is metabolized primarily by what?
hepatic phase II conjugation
Does morphine cause a histamine release?
yes
Morphine, sufentanil, and fentanyl are agonists to which receptor? Causing what?
mu-opioid receptor
causes:
(1) an inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, leading to a decrease in calcium influx to cytoplasm and out from sarcoplasmic reticulum
(2) inhibition of conductance of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels
(3) opens inward rectifying potassium channels, hyperpolarizing post-synaptic neurons
Fentanyl:Morphine conversion
100:1 (x100)
Effects of morphine on the pulmonary and cardiac system.
Pulmonary - decreased cough reflex, bronchodilation (d/t histamine release), decreased ventilatory drive
Cardiac - decreased HR, decreased MAP (d/t histamine release), decreased CBF
Effects of sufentanil (Sufenta) on the pulmonary and cardiac system.
Pulmonary - respiratory depression (potentiated by volatile anesthetic agents), may cause “tight-chest”
Cardiac - hemodynamically stable
How is sufentanil (Sufenta) metabolized?
hepatic elimination
Effects of fentanyl (Sublimaze) on the pulmonary and cardiac system.
Pulmonary - blunts broncho-constrictive response to stimulation, possible “tight-chest”, decreased ventilatory drive, no broncho-dilation
Cardiac - vagally mediated decreases in HR, venodilation, decrease in CV sympathetic reflexes, decreased MAP and CBF
Receptor for dynorphins
Kappa
How is fentanyl (Sublimaze) metabolized?
hepatic and pulmonary elimination
What is ketorolac’s mechanism of action?
inhibition of cyclooxygenase, leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis
How is ketorolac (Toradol) metabolized and eliminated?
hepatic metabolism
renal elimination
What are the principal effects of opioid receptor activation?
a decrease in neurotransmission(intracellularly - increased K conductance [leads to hyperpolarization], calcium channel inactivation, or both)
Contraindications to using ketorolac (Toradol).
- may prolong bleeding time (ie. ulcers)
- parturients (decreases uterine contractility and fetal circulation)
- CVA
- asthma (may cause bronchospasm)
- CHF
- advanced renal impairment (inhibiting the release of vasoactive substances in CHF and renal failure may cause renal arteriolar constriction)
- interferes with osteoblasts (not good for ortho surgeries)
How is meperidine (Demerol) metabolized, what is the name of its metabolite, and what can that metabolite cause? How is meperidine excreted?
- hepatic
- normeperidine
- lowering of seizure threshold
- excreted through the urine
Contraindications to using meperidine (Demerol).
- seizures
- MAOI
- incompatible with barbiturates
- crosses placenta
