Pediatric Pharmacology Principles Flashcards

1
Q

What pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic priniciples are different in pediatrics then adults? (5)

A

large volume of distribution for water soluble medications (higher TBW)
decreased Vd of fat soluble drugs
Altered and reduced protein binding (increases free fraction of medications)
longer half lives (s/c to immature hepatic/renal function)
immature blood brain barrier

Q

What does the difference volume distribution in neonates vs adults result in?

A

ECF volume of distribution proportionately HIGHER than that of an adult
-potentially delayed excretion
