Q

What is MOA of omeprazole?

A

It inhibits proton pumps that are present.
(so, you have to continually take omeprazole to inhibit the pumps that have been developed at least for about 5 days)

Q

What is the maximum inhibition of proton pumps you can achieve with Omeprazole in about 5 days of taking it?

A

66%
(1/3 of the pumps are still working usually, but still decreases in acid production significantly.)

A

HA
Diarrhea
PROLONGED QT (with high doses)

Slide 33

71
Q

Would it be better to give Ondansetron (Zofran) at the beginning or end of the case? Explain.

How much would you give IV?

A

Towards the end bc it’s Plasma 1/2 life is only 4 hours. You want it be effective for the PONV.

4 or 8mg IV

Slide 33

72
Q

What is the proposed MOA on how corticosteroids inhibit PONV?

A

-Centrally inhibit prostaglandin synthesis & control endorphin release.

-Increase effectiveness for 5HT3 antagonist (Ondansetron/Zofran) & Droperidol/ Inaspine (D2 Antagonist)
*You may see steroid given in addition to zofran or droperidol.

-Anti-inflammatory = less P/O pain = less opioid use (induces n/v)

Slide 34

73
Q

Your patient is on long-term steroid therapy. You need to give a stress-dose steroid, Solumedrol, for sx.

Would you give an additional dose of Dexamethasone (Decadron) in addition to the Solumedrol to cover your PONV?
Explain.

A

No, you can use your stress-dose steroid as your PONV steroid in this instance.

Slide 34

74
Q

Your case is expected to last 2hrs. When would you give your Dexamethasone (Decadron)? Why?

Your next case is expected to last 6hrs. When would you give your Decadron?
Why?

A

2hr case: At the start of the case.
*Decadron has a delayed onset of 2hrs (efficacious for 24hr)

6hr case: ~4 hrs into the case - to allow it to be adequately effective p/o.

Slide 35

75
Q

You give 4mg of Dexamethasone (Decadron) in preop & your patient screams, “Woah! My butthole feels spicy!!!”

What caused this?

A

You pushed your Decadron too fast, silly.

Slide 35

76
Q

You give your diabetic patient 4mg of Dexamethasone (Decadron).
The pre-op RN asks if you want an additional sugar check and you say ‘nah.’
Why did you say ‘Nah’?

When would you say ‘Yeh’?

A

Studies show that just 1 small dose (4mg) of Decadron for N/V does not really affect sugar levels.

If you needed to give an additional dose or larger dose, maybe check a sugar.

Slide 35

77
Q

What are the traditional IV doses of Decadron?

When would you give more?

A

4mg or 8mg

-Difficult or multiple attempted intubation, used a scope. Basically anytime you cause trauma to the airway to prevent swelling.
(you get n/v coverage too:)

Slide 35

78

A

Competitive, muscarinic antagonist
Sedation
Patch
~4hrs before surgery
24-72hrs (Kane says 48hrs & by 72, not as effective; but PPT and book say 72)

Slide 36

79
Q

What are the side effects of Scopalamine?

A

Mydriasis (dialted pupils)
Sedation

Slide 36

80
Q

Scopalimine patches have a ‘sustained-release’ effect.

Peaks @ 24hrs

Slide 36

81
Q

Scopalamine, compared to Atropine or Robinul, does not cause much tachycardia or smooth muscle relaxation.

True or False?

A

True.

Slide 36

82
Q

What are the risks associated with long-term use of antacids (particulate or non-particulate)?

A
  • increased pH
  • alteration in microbiome (potentially overgrowth of bad bacteria)
  • acid breakdown of food is inhibited
  • acid rebound with abrupt cessation of antacids (why’s it spicy?!)

(slide 22)

83
Q

Your buddy Joe Schmo says he’s going to start taking Maalox and/or Mylanta for his heartburn. You, as a distinguished SRNA, decide to warn him of possible risks with taking said meds.

What is the base component of these antacids and what side effects are associated with them?

A

Base component: Magnesium (or as Kane says, “Magnaaaysium”) & aluminum

S/E: osmotic diarrhea; neurologic and neuromuscular impairment

(slide 22)

84
Q

Joe Schmo didn’t believe you after warning him and took too much Mylanta which gave him the skitters (diarrhea) AND heartburn. So now he’s popping TUMS like they’re PEZ candy. You attempt to warn him about what?

A

Watch out for Hypercalcemia, bro. May cause you to develop some serious kidney stones

(slide 22)

85
Q

Joe Schmo expired d/t severe nepholithiasis secondary to excessive consumption of TUMS. His grieving wife, Janice Schmo, also suffers from heartburn and asks your opinion on taking Sodium Citrate. What do you tell her?

A

Establish if Janice has Hypertension or Congestive Heart Failure. If she does have either of these dx’s then tell her that Sodium-based antacids are contraindicated for her issues. Also tell her to go see her damn PCP and maybe get some grief counseling

(slide 22)

86
Q

Which antacid protects against aspiration pneumonia (not specifically aspiration itself) by making the gastric acid more alkalotic?

A

Sodium Citrate (Bicitra)

(slide 23)

87
Q

Sodium Citrate (Bicitra) also causes _________ which actually increases the risk of aspiration, especially in pts who ate/drank just prior to the procedure

A

Increased intragastric volume; if pt has been compliant and NPO, then we only increase intragastric volume by ~15-30 mls

(slide 23)

88
Q

How does Sodium Citrate neutralize stomach acid?

A

converts gastric acid into salt, CO2, and water; so it neutralizes both the acid and base

(slide 23)

89
Q

Scene: You (CRNA) arrive to your hospital and prepare for your first case for the day. The first case is a planned Cesarian-section and you want to treat preoperatively. The designated OR is prepped and the case is expected to proceed soon so you give Sodium Citrate. Shortly after, Dr. Fuknutz (the intended surgeon) calls in and says he lost his car keys and won’t make it to the hospital for another 90 mins. Why is this a problem?

A

Sodium Citrate (Bicitra) works fast but looses its effectiveness in 30-60 mins

ALSO: remember that Bicitra is commonly used in C-sections**

(slide 23)

90
Q

Standard dose(s) of Sodium Citrate (Bicitra)

A

15-30 mls PO

(slide 23)

91
Q

Any pregnant pts after 12 weeks gestation are ALWAYS considered _____ _______ when planning their anesthesia care plan.

A

Full Stomach

Question: “But what if they’re NPO for >12 hours?”
Medicosis Perfectionalis: shut up, it doesn’t matter, they’re ALWAYS considered a Full stomach

(- Kane remarks on this on slide 24)

92
Q

Dopamine Blockers are known for?

What are the Pharmacodynamics?

A

Stimulating Gastric Motility: (aka Prokinetics)
- increases lower esophageal sphincter tone
- stimulates peristalsis
- relaxes pylorus and duodenum

All these effects result in Gastric Emptying and Intestinal Transit

(slide 25)

93
Q

Since Dopamine Blockers antagonize dopamine receptors, we avoid using these meds in which pt population?

Why?

A

Pts with dopamine depletion or inhibition (Parkinson’s)

Parkinson’s pts already have depleted dopamine neurons to begin with secondary to it’s disease process. So we don’t want to block dopamine receptors when they already receive so little.

(slide 25)

94
Q

Dopamine Blockers can pass the blood-brain barrier: True or false?

A

Q

So Dopamine Blockers can cross the BBB. What sort of side effects do we monitor for as a result?

A

Extrapyrimidal reactions: dystonias, parkinsonism, and akathisia

Can also get anxious and pick at things (Janice, stop messing with your damn IV!)

ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION

And neuroleptic malignant syndrome

(slide 25)

96
Q

The best place to place a scopolamine patch on the body is where?

A

Behind the ear. In general, thinner areas of skin that will remain unbothered, not exposed to elements. (Slide 37)

97
Q

Mechanism of action for beta agonist bronchodilators?

A

Stimulate G proteins —> activate cAMP. Activated cAMP in lungs will decrease Ca++ entry into smooth muscle and also decrease contractile protein sensitivity to Ca++.

G protein —> cAMP —> ⬇️ Ca++ —> ⬇️ contraction —> nice open airway

(Slide 39)

98
Q

Dopamine Blockers are great for which statuses?

A

Some effects on the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone for Chemo Induced N/V (CINV) and post-op C-section

But apparently Zofran is still a better choice…so yeah

(slide 25)

99
Q

Beta bronchodilator intended effects/action?

A

Reduce inflammation, relax smooth muscle of airways (slide 39).

100
Q

2 puffs of an inhaler can increase your expiratory volume by what percentage? You will see this effect in ___ min.

A

FEV increases by 15% by 6 minutes. (Slide 39)

101
Q

How do you use an inhaler?

A

Squeeze inhaler and take in deep breath over 5 - 6 seconds. Hold breath for 5 - 6 seconds. (Slide 40)

102
Q

What percentage of bronchodilator drug actually reaches the lungs when you use an inhaler? How much reaches the lungs when administered through an ETT?

A

Inhaler = 12%. ETT 50 -70%. (Slide 40)

103
Q

Do Dopamine Blockers cause any changes to gastric pH?
If so then what are the changes?

A

No
LESS likely to cause aspiration d/t decreased gastric volume (prokinetic)

(slide 25)

104
Q

Name 3 examples of Dopamine Blockers

A

Metaclopramide (Reglan)
Domperidone
Droperidol (Inapsine)

(slide 25)

105
Q

What side effects does a Beta agonist bronchodilator have? (Hint, think of what B1, B2, and B3 receptors do)

A

Tachycardia (B1), tremors (B2 in skeletal muscle), hyperglycemia (B3 breaking down fats).

May also see a transient decrease in arterial oxygenation. (Slide 41)

106
Q

What is the dose range for Cimetidine?

A

150-300mg IV
Half the dose in renal impairment.

Slide 12

107
Q

1 DOC (drug of choice) for diabetic gastroparesis

A

Metaclopramide

(slide 26)

108
Q

Why is a transient decrease in arterial oxygenation seen with administration of a bronchodilator?

A

Bronchodilator is given —> airways that were not open/perfused are now open/perfused.

Lungs need to adjust to ventilating and perfusing more area, which is where we see the initial decrease in oxygenation. Lungs rebound quickly, and are able to get in more oxygen overall with the extra airways that are now open.

(Slide 41)

109
Q

2 examples of beta bronchodilators mentioned in class?

A

Albuterol (Proventil)
&
Levo - albuterol (Xopenex, also the L isomer of albuterol)

(slide 41)

110
Q

What are the adverse effects of Cimetidine mentioned in lecture?

A

1.) Bradycardia and hypotensions from interacting with Cardiac H2 receptors (most common with rapid infusions)

2.) Increased plasma levels of prolactin

3.)Inhibits dihydrotestosterone binding to androgen receptors (impotence).

Slide 12

111
Q

Metoclopramide’s (Reglan) common side effects: name 5

A

abdominal cramping (if rapid IV)
muscle spasms
hypotension (eeeeeeeekkk)
sedation
increased prolactin release

(slide 26)

112
Q

What is the dose for Ranitidine (Zantac)?

A

50mg diluted in 20ml and given over 2 minutes.

Half dose for renal impairment.

Slide 13

113
Q

What are two SEVERE adverse rxn’s of Metoclopramide (Reglan) & the side effects seen?

A

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
- as noted by sudden fever, muscle rigidity, tachycardia, and confusion

Decreases Plasma Cholinesterase
- SLOWS metabolism of Succ’s, Mivacurium, and Ester-based LA

(slide 26)

114
Q

4 methods for administering bronchodilators mentioned in lecture (1 method is for everyone, 1 method probably saw at bedside, 2 methods seem very Macgyver Anesthesia)

A

1) Inhaler
2) Nebulizer
3) Take cannister out of inhaler, attach to syringe, push syringe to push medication into patient.
4) Take cannister out of inhaler, attach to syringe, ???, attach syringe to elbow piece of ETT, magically administer medication with ventilator. (Slide 42)

115
Q

So you’ve established there’s no c/d to giving Metaclopramide (Reglan) for a particular case.
What administration methods and dosing are important to know?

A

Dose: 10-20 mg IV given slowwwwwwwwwwwwly (over 3-5 mins) to avoid abdominal cramping.

This dopamine blocker takes some time to reach its peak effect so make sure to give it 15-30 mins PRIOR to induction.

(slide 26)

116
Q

A patient is on long-term phenytoin (Dilantin). What H2 antagonist would be most appropriate?
(Dilantin is to help control SZ)

A

Famotadine (Pepcid)
Does not interfere with P450 enzymes

Slide 14

117
Q

What is the most potent H2 antagonist and also interferes with phosphate absorbtion?

A

Famotidine (Pepcid)

Slide 14

118
Q

Dose for Famotidine (Pepcid)

A

20mg IV
Half dose for renal impairment

Slide 14
