OXID/RED TO MECH. OF ANESTHESIA Flashcards
OXIDATION-REDUCTION PROCESS
AN ELECTRON DONOR (FROM NAD-COENZYME FORMED FROM NIACIN) AND MOLECULE O2 FOR ACTIVITY
THE O2 IS SPLIT WITH ONE ATOM OXIDIZING A MOLECULE OF DRUG AND THE OTHER INCORPORATED INTO H2O
LOSS OF ELECTRONS= OXIDATION
GAIN OF ELECTRONS= REDUCTION
WHAT OCCURS UNDER CONDITIONS OF LOW ppO2?
ENZYMES TRANSFERS ELECTRONS TO A SUBSTRATE RATHER THAN TO OXYGEN (INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF O2 TO COMPETE FOR ELECTRON).
THIS CAN LEAD TO TOXIC BUILD UP
CONJUGATION
INVOLVES CP-450
SUBSTANCES RENDERED INACTIVE AND WATER SOLUBLE THEREFORE AVAILABLE FOR ELIMINATION
HYDOLYSIS
INVOLVES NON- MICROSOMAL ENZYMES
HYDROLYSIS OFTEN AT ESTER BOND
NON-MICROSMOAL ENZYMES
CATALYZE REACTIONS FOR METABOLISM BY CONJUGATION AND HYDROLYSIS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT OXIDATION AND REDUCTION
MAINLY IN LIVER BUT ALSO PLASMA & GI TRACT
EX. ESTER HYDROLYSIS OF SUCCINYLCHOLINE, REMIFENTANIL, ESTER LOCALS
ENZYME INDUCT DOES NOT OCCUR BUT ACTIVITY IS GENETICALLY DETERMINED
ELIMINATION HALF “LIFE”
1ST HALF LIFE- 50% OF THE DRUG IS ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY
2ND HALF LIFE-50% OF THE REMAINING IS ELIMINATED; SO 75% IS TOTALLY REMOVED ALL TOGETHER
4TH HALF LIFE- 93.75% OF THE DRUG IS GONE
(4-5 HALF LIVES EQUAL TOTAL ELIMINATION)
ELIMINATION HALF “TIME”
TIME NEEDED FOR THE ELIMINATION OF 50% OF THE DRUG FROM THE PLASMA
A SIGNIFICANT CONCEPT WHEN CONSIDERING TIME OF AWAKENING
CONTEXT SENSITIVE HALF TIME
TIME NEEDED FOR PLASMA CONCENTRATION OF THE DRUG TO REACH 50% AFTER DISCONTINUATION OF A CONTINUOUS IV INFUSION
HALF LIFE OF EFFECT
INCLUDES ACTIVE METABOLITES EFFECTS
IN THIS WAY THE “HALF-LIFE” CAN DECEIVE YOU SINCE THE EFFECTS MAY OUTLAST THE PARENT COMPOUND SIGNIFICANTLY
RECOVERY TIME
TIME REQUIRED FOR THE PLASMA CONCENTRATION TO REACH A LEVEL COMPATIBLE WITH AWAKENING/RECOVERY OF EFFECTS
ELIMINATION AND CONTEXT SENSITIVE HALF TIME ARE REFLECTED IN RECOVERY TIME
ACCUMULATION
OCCURS WHENEVER SUBSEQUENT DOSES ARE GIVEN
IF THE DOSING INTERVAL IS SHORTER THAN 4 HALF LIVES ACCUMULATION WILL BE DETECTABLE
RATE OF ACCUMULATION IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THAT FRACTION OF DRUG LOST DURING THE DOSING INTERVAL
CLEARANCE
IT IS THE VOLUME OF DRUG CLEARED FROM PLASMA BY EXCRETION AND METABOLISM
WHERE DOES METABOLISM OCCUR?
IN THE LIVER AS WELL AS OTHE MECHANISMS (HOFFMAN ELIMINATION, ESTER HYDROLYSIS)
WHY IS RATE OF CLEARANCE CRUCIAL?
TO DETERMINE INFUSION RATES AND DOSING
WHAT IS THE CLEARANCE (CL) OF A DRUG?
THE VOLUME OF PLASMA FROM WHICH THE DRUG IS COMPLETELY REMOVED PER UNIT TIME
WHAT IS ELIMINATION CONSTANT?
DETERMINES THE FRACTION OF THE DRUG IN THE BODY ELIMINATED PER UNIT TIME
WHAT IS THE STRATEGY FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH DRUGS?
TO GIVE SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS THAT THE REQUIRED THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OCCURS WITHOUT TOXICITY
WHAT ABOUT MAINTENANCE DOSE?
ITS EQUAL TO THE RATE OF ELIMINATION AT STEADY STATE (I.E. AT STEADY STATE, RATE OF ELIMINATION=RATE OF ADMINISTRATION)
DOSING RATE EQUATION
CLEARANCE X DESIRED PLASMA CONCENTRATION
LOADING DOSE EQUATION
THE VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION X THE DESIRED CONCENTRATION (I.E. THE CONCENTRATION AT STEADY STATE)
WHAT IS HEPATIC CLEARANCE
THE PRODUCT OF HEPATIC BLOOD FLOW AND THE HEPATIC EXTRACTION RATIO OF THE DRUG (A LOW ER= SMALL AMOUT OF DRUG REMOVED)
HOW ARE HIGH ER DRUGS PERFUSED?
PERFUSION IS DEPENDENT FOR ELIMINATION
HOW ARE LOW ER DRUGS PERFUSED
DEPENDS ON PROTEIN BINDING & ENZYME ACTIVITY (CAPACITY DEPENDENT)
ENZYME INDUCTION IS EQUIVALENT TO….
INCREASED HEPATIC CLEARANCE OF DRUGS WITH LOW ER= INCREASED DRUG NEEDED FOR EFFECT
WHAT DOES BILIARY EXCRETION INTO GI TRACT ACCOUNTS FOR WHAT?
MANY DRUG METABOLITES
