Principles Opioids 3 Flashcards
Most abundant alkaloid in raw opium
morphine
sedation before analgesia
morphine
Morphine- histamine release from mast cells causes:
local itching, redness, hives
enough histamine –> Decrease SVR/BP, tachycardia
Doesn’t undergo 1st pass pulmonary uptake
morphine
Morphine metabolite thats 100x more potent than morphine, mu receptor agonist
M6G
Morphine CV side effects
Brady then reflex tachy, direct depressant of SA node, hypotension from histamine release, decreases sympathetic venous tone of peripheral veins
N20 and morphine together
decrease CO, hypotension
Morphine and benzos together
decrease SVR, hypotension
Stim of mu 2 receptors affect ventilatory centers, decreased response to C02 (right shift and down)
morphine
Cough supression, decrease CBF, skel muscle rigidity
morphine
direct stimulation of CTZ, s. Oddi/biliary/GI smooth muscle spasm, constipation, decrease detrusor tone, increase spincter tone, cutaneous vessels dilate
morphine
Demerol (meperidine)– what receptors? structure resembles?
mu and kappa receptor agonist
resembles atropine
Well absorped from GI tract, hepatic metabolism, urinary excretion is pH dependent
Demerol
Demerol’s metabolite
Normeperidine (1/2 as potent) accumulates causes CNS excitation, seizures, delirium
suppress shivering by stimulating kappa receptors, high doses = neg cardiac inotropic effects and histamine release, does NOT block cough
demerol
Associated with orthostatic hypotension, causes MYDRIASAS
demerol
Serotonin syndrome:
Demerol with MAOIs and SSRIs,
HTN, tachycardia, hyperpyrexia, convulsions
Fentanyl is a derivative of what
phenylpiperidine
Fentanyl times/dose
Onset 2-5 min
Peak 20-30 min
Duration 30m-1hr
Dose: 2-150mcg/kg
75% of initial dose undergoes first-pass pulmonary uptake, rapid? redistribution into inactive tissues
fentanyl
Peripheral becomes saturated with prolonged infusions, increase context sensitive T1/2 d/t metabolized drug replaced by tissue reservoir drug
fentanyl
Prolonged T1/2 in elderly d/t to (fentanyl)
decreased hepatic blood flow, decreased albumin production
Not a cardiac depressant, no histamine release, suppresses stress response to surgery
Fentanyl advantages
Fentanyl patch
24 hrs for blood conc to stabilize, subQ must be saturated before absorbed into blood, once removed… 17 hour T1/2
Secondary peaks in fentanyl d/t
ion trapping (acidic gastric fluid), washout from lungs as VQ relationships resume
Modest increase in ICP despite unchanged C02, usually with decreases in MAP and CPP, decreases cerebral metabolism
Fentanyl side effects
Sufentanil vs fentanyl potency and cont-sens T1/s
Sufentanil 5-10X more potent than fentanyl
CST1/2 less than fentanyl and alfentanil for infusions up to 8 hours
60% of initial dose goes through first pass pulmonary uptake
sufentanil
Sufentanil has smaller Vd d/t
extensive protein binding (92%)
Sufentanil excretion
metabolites excreted almost equally in urine and feces
Alfentanil onset and peak
immediate.. d/t low pKa and 90% being non-ionized
Renal failure does not alter clearance, cirrhosis prolongs half life, 10% initial dose first pass pulmonary uptake
alfentanil
Effects prolonged with erythromycin use, alterations in P450 slow metabolism, smaller Vd, longer CST1/2, decreases dopamine transmission
Alfentanil
peripheral distribution is not a contributor to decrease in plasma conc after D/C
alfentanil
