A

“Alpha2Agonists”
Non-controlled drugs for sedation, analgesia, and muscle relaxation
Rapid sedation, reversible
IV, IM
Act on alpha2adrenergic receptors of the SNS within the CNS and peripherally
Metabolized in the liver/excreted as metabolites in the urine
Decreases release or norepinephrine

18
Q

Major Effects of Alpha2Agonists

A
Dose-dependant sedation 
Analgesia
Decreased cardiac output and HR
Decreased BP
Decreased RR and tidal volume 
Muscle relaxation
Vomiting (k9/Fel)
19
Q

Major Adverse Effects of Alpha2Agonists

A
Agitation, aggression when touched
Reaction to loud noises
Ataxia, falling (bovine)
Severe bradycardia, hypotension, decreased cardiac output 
Severe respiratory depression
20
Q

Dexmedetomidine

A

Alpha2Agonist
“Dexdomitor”
Most common
IV, IM
Can cause profound sedation, short-lived analgesia
Antagonized by antipamezole (Antisedan)
*dont give w/Anticholinergics @high doses (paradoxic bradycardia)

21
Q

Detomidine

A

Alpha2Agonist
Equine
Produces sedation, analgesia and muscle relaxation

22
Q

Xylazine

A

Alpha2Agonist
Cattle require low doses due to tolerance level
First alpha2agonist in sm/Lg animal medicine

23
Q

Opioids

A
Provide analgesia 
Derivative of opium
Can be used for anesthetic induction
May be agonists, partial agonists, agonist-antagonist, antagonists
Causes CNS depression 
Prevent/tx post-op pain, premed
Reversible 
Act centrally by inhibiting Brain perception and central sensitization on the spinal cord
Metabolized in the liver
24
Q

Mu Opioid Receptor Agonists

A
Morphine
Fentanyl
Hydromorphone 
Oxymorphone 
Methadone
Meperidine

Moderate-severe pain
25
Q

A

Buprenorphine
Nalbuphine
Less potent, less sedation, less adverse reactions

26
Q

Agonist-Antagonist

A

Nalbuphine
Butorphanol
Less potent, less sedation, less adverse reactions

27
Q
