1
Q

pain threshold

A

level of stimulus needed to create painful sensation

2
Q

pain tolerance

A

amount of pain a person can endure without having it interfere with normal functioning

3
Q

analgesic

A

prescribed for the relief of pain

4
Q

opioid aka

A

narcotic aka

5
Q

acute pain

A

mild, moderate, severe

typically associated with specific tissue injury

6
Q

chronic pain

A

vague origin, onset with prolonged duration

7
Q

nociceptor pain

A

pain originating from tissue injury

somatic and visceral pain

8
Q

somatic pain

A

bone & muscle

9
Q

visceral pain

A

organ

10
Q

neuropathic pain

A
  • unusual sensory disturbance often involving neural supersensitivity
  • due to injury or disease of the peripheral or central nervous system
11
Q

antipyretic effect

A

lowers elevated body temperature

12
Q

OTC NSAIDS (x3)

A

aspirin
ibuprofen
naproxen

13
Q

aspirin contraindications

A
  • contraindicated for any elevated temperature, due to danger of Reye’s Syndrome
  • children under 2yo (or 12 yo according to book?!)
14
Q

Reye’s Syndrome

A
  • childhood illness associated with ASA
  • neurologic problems (encephalopathy, liver degeneration) associated with viral infection treated with salicylates

DON’T GIVE ASPIRIN TO CHILDREN UN

15
Q

Inhibition of COX-1

A

Decreases protection of stomach lining

Decrease platelet aggregation

16
Q

Inhibition of COX-2

A

Decreases inflammation and pain

17
Q

Cyclooxygenase

A

Converts arachadonic acid into prostaglandins and their products

  • promotes thromboxane synthesis
18
Q

Prostaglandin effects

A
  • activation of inflammatory response
  • fever
  • vasodilation
  • relax smooth muscle
  • increased capillary permeability
  • sensitization of nerve cells to pain
  • proliferation of WBC to damaged tissues
  • induces labor, other reproductive processes
  • clotting and anti-coagulation
  • inhibit gastric acid synthesis, increase mucus secretion-
  • increase blood flow in kidneys
  • promote constriction of bronchi (asthma)
19
Q

Salicylic acid

A

Important active metabolite of aspirin (acetylsalicyclic acid -> prodrug to SA)

20
Q

Metabolite

A

Any substance produced during metabolism or may also refer to product remaining after drug is broken down

21
Q

7 groups of NSAIDs

A

FIRST GEN

  1. Salicylates
  2. Para-chlorobenzoic acid derivatives, or indoles
  3. Phenylacetic acids
  4. Propionic acid derivatives
  5. Fenamates
  6. Oxicams

SECOND GEN
7.Selective COX-2 inhibitors

A

COX-2 inhibitors

25
Q

Good for fever

A

Aspirin, ibuprofen, acetominophen

26
Q

COX-1

A
  • protects stomach lining
  • promotes platelet aggregation
  • in all tissues
27
Q

COX-2

A

Triggers pain and inflammation

- at site of tissue injury

28
Q

5 cardinal signs of inflammation

A
H eat
E dema
L oss of function
P ain
R edness
29
Q

NSAID effects

A
  • reversibly inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes
  • decrease formation of prostaglandin
  • inhibit chemotaxis (lymphocyte activity, neutrophil aggregation)
30
Q

NSAID indications

A
  • analgesic (CNS & peripheral effect)
  • antipyretic (CNS effect)
  • antiinflammatory (act locally)
  • antiplatelet (irreversible; CVA & MI prophylaxis - mostly COX-1 inhibitors)
31
Q

salycylism

A

aspirin toxicity

32
Q

salycylism S&S

A
  • headache
  • tinnitus
  • diaphoresis
  • disequilibrium
  • CNS alterations
  • hyperventilation s/t acid-base disturbances
  • nausea, vomiting
  • dehydration
  • cardiovascular collapse: coma, convulsions, death
33
Q

salycylism treatment

A
  • decrease absorption (charcoal, emetics, gastric lavage) ONLY EFFECTIVE IF RECENTLY INGESTED
  • supportive measures: F&E support, sodium bicarbonate
  • enhance excretion: alkalinize urine, force diuresis, hemodialysis
34
