Pharm 2 Exam 1 Drug List Flashcards
Benzocaine
local anesthetic
short acting ester type LA
topical
Procaine
local anesthetic
short acting ester type LA for infiltration, epidural, spinal
Cocaine
local anesthetic
short acting ester type LA for topical use in throat and nose procedures
SE: vasoconstriction and tachycardia
Lidocaine
local anesthetic
longer acting amide LA for infiltration, Bier block, peripheral, epidural, spinal
Ropivacaine
local anesthetic
longer acting amide LA for peripheral
Epinephrine
adjunct w/ local anesthetic
Reduces systemic absorption of LA by vasoconstriction
Clonidine
adjunct w/ local anesthetic for epidural and spinal administration to further reduce pain transmission
Diazepam
adjunct w/ local anesthetic
Tx convulsions d/t systemic absorption of LA into CNS
Tetrodotoxin
extracellular Na channel blocker (binds in all states) vs local anesthetic (use dependent blockade)
Esters
Single “i”
cocaine, procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine
short T1/2
SE: allergy d/t PABA
met. by plasma and liver psuedocholinesterases
Amides
Double “i”
lidocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine, etidocaine, prilocaine, ropivacaine
longer T1/2
met. in liver by p450
Nitrous Oxide
1 MAC=105%. Blood:gas 0.47, very insoluble in blood, rapid induction and emergence. Analgesic, 70-80% in O2 used.
GOOD: analgesia b4 anesthesia, little toxicity, rapid induction/recovery
BAD: weak agent, hypoxia may occur, closed air spaces may expand
Avoid in pt w. pneumothorax, obstructed middle ear, air embolus, obstructed bowel loop, intraocular air bubble, intracranial air
Anesthesia Lecture
Enflurane
Blood:gas 1.8=relatively high, induction slow
BAD: CV depression d/t dec in contractility, seizures, uterine muscle relaxant
Anesthesia Lecture
Isoflurane
MC used inhalation anesthetic in US
1 MAC=1.4%, Blood:gas 1.4=relatively low, somewhat fast induction
GOOD: CO maintained, systemic vessels dilate causing sm dec in BP, arrhythmias uncommon, potent coronary vasodilator
BAD: more pungent than halothane, progressive respiratory depression
Anesthesia Lecture
Sevoflurane
Blood:gas .69= relatively low, fast induction
GOOD: can be used for outpt anesthesia b/c of its rapid recovery profile
BAD: some reports of toxicity
