Q

Describe how to calculate maintenance fluids for kids

A

4-2-1

  • For the 1st 10 kg = 4ml/kg/hr
  • Between 11-20 kg = 2ml/kg/hr

Q

MOA of Penicillin

A

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs); which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis

Q

Describe resistance to Penicillin

A

Bacteria produce beta lactamases, which can break the beta lactam drugs (e.g. Staph species)

Q

Adverse effects of amino penicillins

A

o Amino penicillins can cause rash which may manifest more seriously as Stevens-Johnson syndrome
o Amoxicillin-Clavulante is one of the most commonly reported causes of drug-induced liver injury
o Can lead to skin rashes when used in the setting of viral illness (e.g. Epstein-Barr virus – mono)

19
Q

How do Piperacillin and Ticaracillin differ from Penicillin

A

Broad spectrum coverage similar to Amino-penicillins + anaerobes + Pseudomonas

20
Q

MOA of Cephalosporins

A

Are also beta lactams - Bind PBPs and stop cell wall synthesis - same as Penicillin

21
Q

What are the names of 1st gen cephalosporins

A

“General Lex” wearing a fex hat

Cephalexin, Cefazolin

22
Q

Uses of 1st gen cephalosporins

A

Most gram positive cocci (staph and strep)

Cellulitis, abscess, strep pharyngitis, surgical prophylaxis, can be used to treat UTIs by some gram neg bugs (PEK = Proteus, E. Coli, Klebsiella)

23
Q

What are the names of 2nd gen cephalosporins

A

THINK: Furious general Fox drinking tea

Cefuroxime
Cetotetan
Cefoxitin

24
Q

Uses of 2nd gen cephalosporins

A

Same as 1st gen (staph and strep) with extended gram neg coverage (HeNS PEcK = H. flu, Neisseria, Serratia, Proteus, E. Coli, Klebsiella)

25
Q

What are the names of 3rd gen cephalosporins

A

THINK: General Taz with 3 axes

Ceftriaxone
Cefotaxime
Ceftazidime

26
Q

Uses of 3rd gen cephalosporins

A

Gram positive +

  • Meningitis (strep pneumo, H. flu, N. meningitidis)
  • Pneumonia (Ceftazidime to tx Pseudomonas)
  • Endocarditis (strep viridans)
  • Gram neg GI bugs (salmonella, shigella)
  • Gonorrhea
  • Lyme disease
  • Does NOT treat MRSA
27
Q

What are the names of 4th gen cephalosporins

A

THINK: General Prime

Cefepime

28
Q

Uses of 4th gen cephalosporins

A

Highly active against gram positive and gram negative

Can treat meningitis and pseudomonas

Does NOT treat MRSA

29
Q

What are the names of 5th gen cephalosporins

A

THINK: General Tara

Ceftaroline

30
Q

Uses of 5th gen cephalosporins

A

Broad spectrum + MRSA

31
Q

Describe Cephalosporin’s susceptibility to beta-lactamase

A

Some are stable to beta-lactamase (especially 3rd and 4th gen)

32
Q

Describe resistance to Cephalosporins

A
  • Altered PBP

- Extended spectrum beta lactamase

33
Q

Describe MOA of Monobactams and spectrum coverage

A

Are beta lactams (bind PBP)

Spectrum is limited to aerobic gram negative rods

No effect on anaerobes or gram positives

34
Q

Name of Monobactam drug and its uses

A

Aztreonam

Gram neg coverage similar to 3rd gen cephalosporins - penetrates CSF (meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, pseudomonas)

37
Q

MOA and spectrum of Cabapenems

A

Broad spectrum - treat gram neg, gram positive, and anaerobes (including pseudomonas)

Meningitis, psudeomonas, sepsis

38
Q

When do you use Carbapenems

A

With bugs resistant to other tx

39

Describe special consideration when using Imipenem

Is inactivated by dehydropeptidase in the renal tubules so it is administered with inhibitor of dehydropeptidase (Cilastin)

40
Q

Adverse effect of Carbapenems
