Pharmacology in ICU (Shih) Flashcards
1
Q
Venous shunts
A
open and close depending on need
- organs
- muscles
- skin
- fat
2
Q
hypovolemic shock
A
- Body compensates shuts down peripheral circulation
- venous shunt closes
- main arteries and vessels are closed
- inc blood pressure
- Selective organ perfusion
- sacrifices
- skeletal muscles
- intestines
- keep central perfusion
- brain
- heart
- lung
3
Q
Distributive shock
A
Body loses ability to select what is important
- venous shunt opens everywhere
- hypoperfusion => hyperdynamic stage of sepsis
- volume of distribution is HUGE: pressure crashes
- Infection / sepsis
- Anaphylactic shock
- heat stroke
- pancreatitis
- inflammation
- cancer
4
Q
Volume of distribution in ICU
A
- Hypovolemic shock: reduction in Vd (volume of distribution)
- Distributive shock: increase in Vd
5
Q
Stab wounds you….
A
Concentrate your blood
6
Q
Sepsis you ……
A
Dilate too much
7
Q
volume of distribution, percent blood volume per body weight
A
20%
8
Q
change in volume of distribution wil change…
A
Cmax (max concentration of drug)
9
Q
Volume of distribution
- Hemoabd
- Post burn
- Aspiration pneumonia
- Abdominal exploritory
- Anesthetized patient, lar par
- CKD (UTI)
- Septic abdomen
- Collapse (post CPR)
A
- Hemoabdomen: lower
- Post burn: can be higher or lower
- loss of skin = loss of water = usually lower
- in sepsis = higher
- Aspiration pneumonia: high (sepsis)
- Abdominal exploritory: low (lose volume to evaporation)
- Anesthetized patient, lar par: High isofluorene simulates sepsis (vasodilator)
- CKD (UTI): low, dehydrated, cant concentrate urine
- Septic abdomen: high
- Collapse (post CPR): high, reperfusion injury because CPR doesn’t circulate as well as the heart
* serous inflammatory response syndrome
10
Q
patient dose of drug
A
[(Standard dose) X Vd] / (normal Vd of patient)
11
Q
Solubility of Rx in ICU
- Hypovolemic shock: …
- Distributive shock: …
- Lipossoluble Rx: …
- Hydrossoluble Rx: …
A
- Hypovolemic shock: reduction Vd
- Distribution shock: increase Vd
- Lipossoluble Rx: no change Cmax
- Hydrossoluble Rx: drop in Cmax
12
Q
- Liposoluble drugs go to…..
- Hydrosoluble drugs go …
A
- Whole body
- Where blood goes
13
Q
Low Vd =
A
concentratin of blood
14
Q
Septic shock (change in Vd)
A
- Trying to perfuse the whole body
- huge Vd
- hydrosoluble drug
- Liposoluble: no change in Cmax
- Hydrosoluble: Drop of Cmax
15
Q
- Septic shock = …..in Vd
- Hemorrhagic shock =…in Vd
A
- Septic shock = drop in Vd
- Hemorrhagic shock = inc in Vd
