PDA Anesthetics nad introductions Flashcards
What are the unique side effects of propofol?
pain on injection, and often given with lidocaine
can cause initial excitation on induction
What do you do for patients who are at risk for hypotension for anesthesia?
utilize Etomidate
What are the unique side effects of Etomidate?
high incidence of pain on ijection, myoclonus
significant nausea
suppresion of adrenocorticol response to stress; can cause increased death
What type of anesthesia does ketamine produce??
Dissociative anesthesia
- profound analgesia
- eyes open but pts unresponsive
- amnesia
- bronchodilator
What are some of the unique side effects of ketamine?
emergence delilrium nystagmus, salvitation, spontaneous movement lacrimation increased ICP hypertension
What is ketamine reseved for?
ppatients with bronchospasm
children undergoing short painful procedures
What is midazolam used for?
short acting benzo; GABAa activator
used alone for concious sedation
What are midazolam side effects?
respiratory depression; arrests
caution in pts with neuromusc diseases
hypotension
What are some commonalities of inhalation general anesthetics?
very low therapeutic indices; LD50/ED50 very low;
vaporized or gas; uniqeu and important pharmokinetics
What are the role of partition coefficients used for?
determine relative amount of anasthetics in different compartments
How are anesthesia eliminated?
gas moves from blood into inspired air; fat and high solubility into fat changes recovery
Why isn’t Isoflurane used to induce anesthesia?
Coughing, and respiratory irritant
What is the risk of toxicity with MAO inhibitors related to food intake?
Tyramine build up due to MAO inhibition leads to hypertensive crisis due to Tyramine causing NE release
What are the therapeutic uses of MAO inhibitors
second line depressive disorder treatment
Narcolepsy
What are the central criteria of Schizophrenia?
two symptoms at least one must be postiive
What are the positive symtpoms of schizophrenia?
Delusions, hallucination, disorganized speech
What are the negative symptoms of schizophrenia?
groslly disorganized or catatonic behavior, blunted affect, lack of spontaneity, poor abstract htinking, poverty of thought, social withdrawal
What is the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia?
schiz results from hyperactivity of dopaminergic neruons or their receptors; based on the fact that all effective antipsychotics interact with dopamine systems
What antipsychotic has cardiac effects?
Thioridazine
What was the first drug of anti-psychotics to go onto the market?
Clozapine
What are the negative side effects of clozapine?
lowers seizure thresholds and can cause agranuloctyosis
What atypical antipsychotic has a shorter half life and is sued for augmentation of depression?
Quetiapine
What are the uses of the antipsychotic drugs?
actue psychotic episodes chronic schizophrenia manic episodes, bipolar schizoaffective disorder augmentation in depression Tourette's, antiemisis
What antipsychotic is not sued to treat emesis?
thioridazine
What was the first drug used to treat bipolar?
lithium blocks manic behavior; has no behavior change in normals
What is the mechanism of aciton of bipolar disorder?
Inhibitis pohosphatase conversion of IP2 to IP1
Pharmokinetics of liuthium?
complete abs in 6 to 8 hous serum half life 18–24 hours, unboundt o plasma protein, CSF concentration half of plasma concentration renal eliminated
What is the difference between half life of lithium in elderly vs young?
Lithium half life is much longer in elderly 30-36 h;ours compared to 18-24 hours
What can raise Lithium levels?
increase Na excretion such as by loop diuretic
also ACE inhibitors lead to increase Lithium levels
Side effects?
fatigue, muscle weakness, tremor, Gi symptoms, slurred speech. Coma and dangerous side effects at 2-3x tx levels
Alternates to lithium?
Carbamazepine and Valproic acid, Olanzapine and fluoxetine combined, initial control is with haloperidol in ER of manic episodes
What is mechanism of action of Carbamazepine?
blocks sodium channels
What is mechanism of Valproic acid?
blcoks repetitive neuronal firing
reduce T-type C++ current
increase GABA concentration
Characteristics of Generalized anxiety disorder?
persistent anxiety for at least 1 month duration, absence of specific symptoms of other disorders
What are teh treatments for anxiety and insomnia?
Benzodiazepines SSRIs BUSPIRONE Antihistamines 1st gen H1 blocker Alcohol, cannabis, opiatees Barbiturates
Where is GABA localized?
Substantia Nigra, globus pallidus, hippocampus, limbic structures, hypothalamus, spinal cord
What does bendoiazepines do?
enhance the effects of GABA on Cl- channels
What are the agonists of benzodiazepine receptor?
Diazepam, clinically useful
What is the antagonisnt of benzodiazepine?
Flumazenil
Why do we use benzodiazepines as opposed to barbituates?
benzodiazepines are much safer
How lipid soluble is diazepam?
very fast onset, because high lipid solubility and has rapideredistribution
