Pain/Agitation/Sedation Flashcards
Analgosedation
- Analgesia
* Bolus or PRN opioids first - Sedation
* If still agitated, propofol/dexmedtomidine/ketamine
* benzo prn boluses only - Delirium
* screen/identify early
* #1 nonpharm prevention!
* #2 consider pharm options after
NO DRIPS YET!!
Causes of ICU related distress
- multiple line placements
- Turning/cleanning
- Medications
- lab draws
- life support
Assessing Analgesia
CPOT: goal <2
BPS: goal <5
IV opioid options
- Morphine
- Fentanyl
- Hydromorphone
Managing hyperalgesia
if opioid induced - switch opioid
potentially dt tachyphylaxis
Non-opioid analgesia
- APAP
- NSAIDs
- Methadone
- Gabapentin
- Ketamine
- PCAs
Morphine onset/duration
on: 5-10 min (quick)
duration: 3-6 hours (long)
Fentanyl onset/duration
on: seconds (super fast)
duration: 1-2 hr (short)
Hydromorphone onset/duration
on: 5 min
duration: 2-4 hr
onset similar to morphine
duration inbetween morphine/fentanyl
Morphine clinical pearls
Active metabolite M6G
accumulates in renal impairment (avoid drip)
Histamine release: hypotension, bronchospasm, itchy (uticaria)
Fentanyl clinical pearls
Hepatic metabolism (liver failure = longer duration)
CYP3A4 DDI
Tachyphylaxis (tolerance = switch to hydromorphone)
1st line choice for drip
Hydromorphone clinical pearls
good in renal impaired
Alt if fentanyl tolerance
minimal histamine release
available as PCA
APAP caution
in acute liver failure
NSAID caution
acute AKI
increase GI bleed
Methadone caution
slow titration, avoid QTc prolongation
Long acting - if sedated long time wean off
Gabapentin caution
may not see benefit for a couple of days
Sedation scales
RASS
SAS
Propofol MOA
Stimulate GABA
inhibit NMDA
Propofol PD
hypnotic
anxiolytic
anticonvulsant
amnesic
anesthesia
NO PAIN RELIEF
Propfol PK
Onset: <1 min (fast)
Duration: 10-15 min
rapid hepatic/extrahepatic CL
Propofol long term caution
saturation of peripheral tissues (lipophillic)
Propofol ADR
Respiratory depression (must intubate)
Hypotension (pressors)
Bradycardia
Decreased cardiac output
HyperTG (acute pancreatitis)
PRIS (infusion syndrome - acidosis)
Propofol pearls
Lipid emulsion = 1.1kcal/ml nutrition
AVOID if allergy: egg, sulfites, soybean
Propofol monitoring
BP
HR
TG
Anion gap/lactate
CK if use >48 hrs
Dexmedetomidine MOA
A2 agonist
decrease Ne and Da release in CNS
decrease fight/flight response
Dexmedetomidine indications
FDA: procedural sedation, mechanical vent sedation not > 24 hours
we use it > 24 hours anyways LOL
Dexmedetomidine PD
sedative
analgesia
