PONV Flashcards
Epigastric and throat sensation associated with the urge to vomit, an autonomic response
Nausea
Endogenous endocannabinoids (anandamine and 2 AG) act at CB1 receptors send important emetic signals in afferent pathways from?
2
The vomiting center AKA nucleus tractus solitarius
Chemo trigger zone/area postrema
There is no blood brain barrier here, accessible to emetogenic stimuli in blood or CSF, (D2, 5HT3, M1, CB1 receptors located here)
Chemo trigger zone/area postrema
name 2 neurokinin NK1 receptor antagonist
aprepitant (emend)
rolapitant/varubi
Adverse effects of headache with increased risk factors of headache attributed to personal family history of migraine, concurrent use of propofol or fentanyl, and higher doses
Ondansetron/Zofran
Histamine acting at H1 receptors important emetic signals in afferent pathways from?
2
The vomiting center AKA nucleus tractus solitarius
vestibular system
what happens when a ligand binds to serotonin 5HT3 receptors?
rapid depolarization via sodium and calcium influx
Selective D2 receptor antagonist acts as a prokinetic and antiemetic
domperidone
how do dopamine D2 receptors help regulate gastric motility
3
Inhibition of gastric motility
relaxation of upper portion of the stomach
delayed gastric emptying in response to gastric distention
Useful in treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in patients that don’t respond to conventional antiemetics
Marinol/dronabinol
Nabilone/cesamet
what is neuroleptic malignant syndrome
fever,
muscular rigidity,
alter mental status,
autonomic instability
5HT3 receptors send important emetic signals in afferent pathways from?
The 3 places these receptors are located in RT vomiting.
The vomiting center AKA nucleus tractus solitarius
Chemo trigger zone/area postrema
GI tract (stomach, small intestine)
anti-emetic, side effects including euphoria solemness detachment anxiety panic etc etc and side effects related to withdrawal
Marinol/dronabinol
Nabilone/cesamet
What are some strategies to reduce baseline risk of PONV
6
use a multimodal approach to decrease the use of perioperative opioids regional anesthesia propofol TIVA Avoid volatile anesthetics adequate hydration
a competitive H1 receptor inverse agonist that readily crosses the blood brain barrier
Benadryl
A relatively selective D2 receptor antagonist that doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier so it doesn’t cause extra pyramidal side effects?
domperidone
The most effective drugs for treatment of PONV and chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in adults and children, non sedating, well tolerated, no extra pyramidal side effects, no significant drug interactions noted
Ondansetron/Zofran consider first generation drugs
Palonosteron/aloxi second generation
Adverse effects include muscarinic receptor blockade, dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, urinary retention, and sedation
Benadryl
This PONV treatment may result in unwanted pregnancy for up to 28 days?
2 drugs
aprepitant (emend)
rolapitant/varubi
How do mu opioid receptors help with regulation of gastric motility
3
decrease lower sausages sphincter tone
reduce gastrointestinal motility
suppress forward peristalsis
Blocks three types of receptors, D2, alpha Adrenergic, H1 receptors, risk of QT prolongation(black box)
Droperidol D2 receptor antagonist
Name the only selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist
domperidone
What are the four risk predictors of postoperative nausea and vomiting
history of motion sickness or PONV
female sex
non-smoking status
the use of opioids for postoperative analgesia
Associated with perennial burning slash itching when given IV.
this drug’s most effective when administered when
dexamethasone
most effective when given at the beginning rather than the end of surgery
