TBL Flashcards
Complications of N/V
Dehydration Electrolyte disturbances Malnutrition Aspiration Pneumonia Esophageal Tears
Causes of N/V
CNS (migraine, vestibular dysfx)
GI (viral gastroenteritis)
Radiation induced (RINV)
Post-op (PONV)
Medications:
Chemo-induced (CINV)
Can be acute (hrs) or delayed (onset w/in days)
Receptors that promote N/V
5-HT3 D2 Neurokinin (NK1) M1 H1 Opioid
Receptors that inhibit NV
Cannabinoid (CB1) Glucocorticoid receptor (GR)
5-HT3 Antag
Ondansetron
Blocks 5HT3 receptor
Enhanced effects when combo w corticosteroids &/or NK1 antag
5-HT3 Antag Indications
Acute CINV
RINV
PONV
Acute gastroenteritis
5-HT3 Antag AE
HA
GI (constip/diar)
Elevated LFTs
Inc QTc interval (from Kr channel block) –> Inc risk for TdP
D2 Antag examples
Prochlorperazine
Metoclopramide
Prochelorperazine MOA & Indic
Blocks D2 receptors
Also blocks M, H1, alpha 1, Kr channels
General purpose
Prochlorperazine AE
Blocking D2: Movement disorder: resting tremor slow movements rigidity involuntary movements of eyes, mouth, head, arms (tardive dyskinesia)
Hyperprolactinemia:
reproductive dysfx
galactorrhea
Antimuscarinic (blocking M)
Sedation (blocking H1)
Orthostatic HOTN (blocking alpha 1)
Inc QTc inverval (from Kr channel block) –> Inc risk for TdP
Metoclopramide MOA & Indic
MOA: blocks D2 receptors; also blocks 5-HT3 and stimulates 5-HT4
Indications: PONV
migraine NV
GI motility related NV (gastroparesis)
Metoclopramide AE
Movement disorder from blocking D2: resting tremor slow movements rigidity involuntary movements of eyes, mouth, head, arms (tardive dyskinesia)
Black Box warning for Tardive dyskinesia (Don’t use for >3 months)
Hyperprolactinemia (from blocking D2):
reproductive dysfx, galactorrhea
M antag
Scopolamine
Blocks M receptors
Motion sickness, vertigo
M antag AE
antimuscarinic
sedation
H1 antag
Meclizine, Dimenhydrinate
Block H1 & M receptors
Motion sickness, vertigo
H1 antag AE
antimuscarinic
sedation
NK1 antag
Aprepitant
Blocks NK1 receptors
NK1 antag Indic
CINV (in combo w setron & corticosteroids)
PONV
