Q

Nitrous oxide’s association with PONV is suggested to be due to what 3 factors?

A

Simulation of sympathetic system with catecholamine release

Middle ear pressure changes stimulating the vestibular system

Increased abdominal distension. This is from the exchange of Nitrous oxide and nitrogen in gas introduced into GI tract by mask ventilation

79
Q

True or false:

reglan increases duodenal peristalsis?

A

True

80
Q

What drug matches the description below:

A

Reglan (dopamine - antagonist)

81
Q

Is Reglan known as a strong or weak antiemetic?

weak antiemetic, it works mostly to increase gastric emptying. (think of it’s antiemetic abilities as a happy side effect)

82
Q

Will you use Reglan with opioid use or not?

A

You can use reglan with opioid use, because with opioids you have delayed emptying of the stomach and by using reglan you Increases GE sphincter tone an decreases pyloric sphincter tone to prevent delayed emptying associated with opioid use.

83

What are Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists?

A

New group of drugs used for PONV thought to prevent both acute and delayed emesis.

84
Q

Where does Neurokinin- 1 receptor antagonist work at physiologically?

Is Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists more effective at inhibiting nausea or emesis?

A

Emesis

86
Q

Q

What is the half life of Aprepitant Emend [PO], Cinvanti [IV] ?

A

40 hours

88
Q
