Pain Flashcards
Opioid Agonist-Antagonists advantages
analgesia
limited depression of ventilation
Low potential for physical dependence
Ceiling effect prevents additional responses
Ceiling effect
Higher dose = no higher effect/ wont OD.
Pentazocine receptors
Agonist effects on δ and κ receptors with weak antagonist activity
Pentazocine potency
1/5th as potent as Nalorphine (morphine)
Pentazocine Excretion
Glucoronide conjugates = urine
Pentazocine Elimination half-time
2-3 hr
Pentazocine Moderate Chronic Pain Dose
10 to 30 mg IV or 50 mgs PO (equivalent to Codeine 60 mgs)
Pentazocine analgesia sedation and depression of ventilation
20 to 30 mgs IM: analgesia sedation and depression of ventilation similar to 10 mgs of Morphine
Pentazocine S/E
S/E: sedation, diaphoresis, dizziness, dysphoria (high doses), increased HR, BP, PA bp, LVEDP.
Crosses placental barrier fetal depression
Butorphanol potency
Agonist 20x and antagonist 10x to 30x > Pentazocine
more potent than morphine
Butorphanol Receptors
low affinity for µ receptors to produce antagonism
moderate affinity for κ receptors to produce analgesia and anti-shivering effects
minimal affinity for σ receptors so dysphoria is low
Butorphanol dose comp to morphine
2 to 3 mg IM = 10 mg Morphine (depression of ventilation)
Rapidly & completely absorbed with IM.
Butorphanol Elimination half-time
2.5 to 3.5 hours
Butorphanol caution
difficult to use with another opioid agonist
What receptor has a moderate affinity for Butorphanols effects to mitigate shivering and produce analgesia
Kappa
Butorphanol Elimination site
Bile > urine
Nalbuphine potency
equally potent to Morphine
1/4th as potent as Nalorphine
Nalbuphine receptor
µ receptors agonist
Nalbuphine on cv
no increase in BP, PA BP, HR, or atrial filling pressures ->√√√ cardiac catheterization patients
Nalbuphine Elimination half-time
3 to 6 hours
Buprenorphine potency
µ receptors agonist affinity is 50x > Morphine
Analgesic potency 0.3 mg IM = 10 mg Morphine
Buprenorphine onset and duration
Onset: 30 mins
Duration: 8 hours
Buprenorphine and naloxone
prolonged resistance to Naloxone
Nalorphine
Equally potent with Morphine
Not used clinically: high incidence of dysphoria (σ receptors)
Bremazocine
κ receptors 2x potent > Morphine
Naloxone = not effective as reversal (could be other receptors)
Dezocine
δ & µ: analgesia, no CV
0.15 mg/kg IM= Morphine
10 to 15 mg IM rapid absorption
Onset: 15 mins.
Meptazinol
mu1 receptors
100 mg = 8 mg Morphine
Rapid onset
Duration: < 2 hrs
Protein binding: 25%
Which opioid agonist- antagonist is more potent than morphine
Buprenorphine
Naloxone, Naltrexone, and Nalmefene receptor
Pure µ opioid receptor antagonists
Naloxone moa
Nonselective antagonist with all 3 opioid receptors
Naloxone dose
1 to 4 µg/kg IV
Naloxone continuous infusion
5 µg/kg IV
Naloxone shock dose
> 1 mg/kg IV
Naloxone for Epidural S/E
0.25 µg/kg/hour IV
Naloxone Duration of action
30 to 45 minutes
give slow
Naloxone Elimination half-time
60-90 min
