Q

can cause seizure

A

Meperidine (Demerol)

normeperidine, the active metabolite, is long acting (3 days) and half as potent; redosing & stacking doses puts pts at risk for seizures

Q

Remifentanil - metabolism, Vd, PB

17
Q

alfentanil context sensitive E½t

A

60 min

18
Q

drugs for neuraxial pain management

A

meperidine

morphine

fentanyl

19
Q

Alfentanil

metabolism, redistribution, E1/2t, Vd, PB

A

metabolism - liver to inactive metabolite noralfentanyl

rapid reditribution due to being 90% non-ionized

E1/2t = 90 min (1.5hrs)

Vd = 0.4L/kg (small) or 27 L

protein bound - 92% (mostly to alpha 1 acid glycoprotein)

20
Q

lowers BP more than fentanyl

A

alfentanil

21
Q

Histamine release

A

Morphine

Meperidine

Succinylcholine

Atracurium

Mivacurium

Barbiturates - if given FAST

22
Q

Meperidine

onset , DOA, Vd, E1/2t, PB

A

Onset

DOA 3-4 hrs

Vd 3.5-5L/kg (large)

E1/2t 3-5 hrs

PB 40-70% (mostly to albumin & alpha 1 acid glycoprotein)

23
Q

Non-ionized percentages

A

Meperidine - 7%

Fentanyl - 8.5%

Sufentanyl - 20%

Morphine - 23%

Remifentanyl - 58%

Alfentanyl 89%

24
Q

Meperidine contraindications

A

chronic kidney disease - seizures (normeperidine)

crosses the placenta and breast milk - avoid

25
Q

A

meperidine

atropine like structure

27
Q

A

fentanyl 75%

sufentanil 75%

meperidine 65%

28
Q

alpha 2 agonistic effects

A

therefore causes sedation

alpha 2 + kappa activation = used in anti-shivering

29

A

N-alkyl derivative of oxymorphone

32

34
Q

remifentanil context sensitive E½t

A

4 min

35
Q

cannot be used in epidurals

A

Remifentanil - glycine prep

36
Q

bases or acid?

opioids

barbs

benzos

ketamine

A

opioid = weak base

barbs = alkaline in the bottle, acid at physiologic pH

benzos = bases

ketamine = base

propofol = acid

37
Q

Blocks Na+ channels

38
Q

fentanyl pharmacokinetics

PB

Metabolism/Excretion

Distribution/redistribution time

Duration of action

Vd

E1/2t

context sensitive E1/2t

A

the lungs take ≈ 75% of injected dose

80% bound to plasma (≈40% taken by the RBC)

distribution time of 1.7 minutes

redistribution time of 13 minutes

long acting due to the wide redistribution in body tissues (DOA = 60 min)

metabolized by the liver

less than 10% of fentanyl is excreted unchanged in the urine

Vd= 4L/kg (335L)

E1/2t 3-6 hrs

context sensitive E1/2t 260 min (≈4hrs)

39
Q

drug in the order for duration of action

A

remifentanil 10 min

sufentanil 30 min

Alfentanil 30-60 min

Fentanyl 1 hr

Meperidine 3 hrs

Morphine 3-4 hrs

Hydromorphone 4-5hrs

40
Q

opioid dosages

A

Sufentanil 0.1 - 1 mcg/kg

Remifentanil 0.5 - 1 mcg/kg

Fentanyl 25 - 100 mcg (analgesia 1-2mcg/kg)

Alfentanil 5 - 30 mcg/kg

Hydromorphone 0.5 - 2 mg

Morphine 2.5 - 15 mg

Meperidine 5 mg Q 5 min (Shivering 12.5-50mg)

Narcan 0.1 - 2 mg IV
