Pharm Induction Drugs Flashcards
Methohexital
(brevital) & Sodium Pentothal
(thiopental/ pentothal)
Structure/Composition
‣ S (-) isomer much more potent than R (+) but are marketed only as a Recemic mixture
Propofol
Structure/composition
Constitution of 1% Propofol (10 mg/ml)
‣10% soy bean oil
‣ 2.25% glycerol
‣ 1.2% purified egg phosphatide (lecithin)
Found in yolks
PROBLEMS: ↑ bacterial growth, ↑ triglycerides in prolonged gtts, pain on injection
Etomidate
Structure/Composition
Only carboxylated imidazole containing compound
35% propylene glycol
Ketamin
Structure/Composition
Phencyclidine Derivative (PCP)
“angel dust”
Preservative: Benzethonium Chloride, inhibits nicotinic ACH receptors which causes SNS stimulation → CV consequences
S (+) Ketamine: More analgesia than R isomer (2x greater than racemic and 4x greater than R (-), ↑ metabolism and recovery, less salivation, Lower incidence of emergence delirium
R (-) Ketamine: Inhibits uptake of catecholamines into the postganglionic nerve endings (cocaine like effect), Less fatigue, Less cog impairment
Structure/Composition
Summary of Induction drugs
BARBS and ketamine are racemic mixtures
Propofol and Etomidate both burn on injection d/t propylene glycol
Ketamine also has preservative but it causes SNS stimulation
Methohexital Category
Oxybarbituate
Sodium Pentothal (thiopental/pentothal)
Category
Thiobarbituate
Barbiturates MOA/Receptor
‣Potentiate GABAachannel activity ; directly mimics GABA
‣Acts on glutamate, adenosine, and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Propofol MOA/Receptor
GABAa Receptor agonist
↑ Cl- conductance to produce hyperpolorization of postsynaptic membrane
Etomidate MOA/Receptor
Selective modulator of GABAa Receptor
Katamine MOA/Receptor
Non- competitive binding to N-methyl-D- Aspartate (NMDA)
Opioid receptors (mu, kappa, delta, and weak sigma)
GABA a (weak)
and LOTS of others…
Induction Drugs Receptor Summary
All effect GABAa
KETAMINE has lots of active sites
Indication for Barbiturates
PREVIOUS USES:
‣Premedication for hangovers
‣ Grad-mal seizure (use benzo now)
‣ Rectal Admin for young/ uncooperative (but now we use PO versed)
‣Increased ICP, cerebral protection, induction
Indication for propofol
1.induction drug of choice
2. PONV and CINV
2. Continuous gtt: Propofol only or TIVA w/ other anesthetic drugs, ICU 2% solution to ↓ lipids admin.
3. Agent of choice in brief GI endoscopy procedure
4. Mechanical ventilation in ICU/post-op
5. Antipruritic effects
6. Anticonvulsant
Indication for Etomidate
Induction
Indication for Ketamine
- induction
- Withdrawals (potential for abuse tho)
- Good for hypovolemic pt. d/t SNS effects
- Asthmatics and MH d/t bronchodilator effects
- CAD cocktail (see PP slide 30)
- Peds / uncooperative pt : IM
- Burn dressing changes, debridement, skin grafts
- Reversal of opioid tolerance
- Psych disorders
- Restless leg syndrome (PO dose)
Dose Considerations Barbs
Dosed on LEAN body weight: use IBW
Dose Considerations Propofol
PEDS: ↑ dose d/t larger distribution volume and clearance rate.
Elderly: ↓ dose 25-50%
Conscious Sedation:
‣ min. analgesia, amnesia, anticonvulsant, prompt recovery w/o residual sedation, ↓ PONV, use Versed or Opioid as adjunct,
Dose Considerations Etomidate
Rapid IV injection -> apnea
Dose Considerations Katamine
Induction: ↑salivation,
‣give antisialogogue Glycopyrrolate (0.2 mg) > atropine/scoplamine
‣ Give versed IV 5 minutes prior to inhibit SE of emergence delirium
LOC effect: 30 secs – 1 min (IV); 2 to 5 mins (IM)
Return of consciousness (ROC): 10 to 20 minutes
Full consciousness: 60 to 90 minutes.
Amnesia persists after ROC: 60 to 90 minutes
Dose Methohexital
IV 1.5 mg/kg
PR (rectal-kids): 20-30 mg/kg
IV gtt: post-op seizure activity in 1 of 3 patients - lowers the threshold (used in ECT)
Dose Sodium Pentothal
(thiopental/ pentothal)
IV: 4 mg/kg
***re-dose after 30 min d/t rapid redistribution
Dose Propofol
Induction: 1.5 -2.5 mg/kg ( ↑PEDs, ↓old)
Conscious Sedation: 25 -100 mcg/kg/min
Maintenance: 100 - 300 mcg/kg/min
*** rapid injection= LOC in 30 sec
PONV/ Sub-hypnotic dose: 10-15 mg IV followed by 10 mcg/ kg/min
Antipruritic: 10 mg IV
Anticonvulsant: 1 mg/kg IV
Dose Etomidate
IV: 0.3 mg/kg (0.2-0.4)mg
Dose Ketamine
INDUCTION: 0.5 -1.5 mg/ kg IV or 4-8 mg/kg IM
Maintenance and sub anesthetic dose: 0.2-0.5 mg/kg IV
Post op sedation and analgesia:
1-2 mg/kg/hr (also used for ped heart case)
Neuraxial analgesia:
Epidural: 30 mg
intrathecal/spinal/ subarachnoid: 5-50 mg
Barbiturates Onset
Rapid: 30secs
Propofol Onset
*** rapid injection= LOC in 30 sec
Etomidate Onset
within 1 min IV
Ketamine Onset
Onset: 1 min IV, 5 min IM
Duration : 10-20 min
Redistribution Barbs
Rapid redistribution from brain to other tissues
‣after 5 min 1/2 dose available in brain
‣ at 30 minute, 10% of original dose available in brain
‣Initial redistribution to skeletal muscles
‣ Takes 15 minutes to reach equilibrium b/w skeletal
muscles and plasma
‣↓redistribution
‣in shock (↓perfusion)
‣ elderly & women ( ↓ muscle mass)
‣ Drug stored in fat, so redosing and large dosing can have cumulative effects
