What is amiloride
Potassium conserving drug that is given w loop or thiazide to prevent potassium lossless
What precipitates dig tox
Hyokalemia
Half life of a drug and clearence
Inversely proportional
However directly proportional to volume of dostribution
Alfentanil rapid affect
2:2 90% unionized fraction while fentanyl is 9%
Morphine active metabolite
Morphine 6 glucouronide, mainly renally excreted and becomes accumulated in renal failure
Fentanyl duration
30 mins due to redistribution however termination 3-4 hours
Dose response curve
Is a graph that shows how much drug is needed to create a response on a slope
Steeper the graph, the less drug that is required
Opoid receptor activation leads to
By increasing potassium conductance and decreasing calcium conductance the neuornal pain pathways become hyper polorized which decreases the release of neurotransmitters
Mu 1 receptor
Mediate suprasspinal (brain) anagesia and kappa anelgesia.
Also causes muscle rigidty
Mu2
Causes resp depression
Meperidine and how its diffirent from other opiates
Decreases contractiliry, inc hr and mydriasis. Acts like atropine anti chol
Opiates blunt co2 chemoreceptors in medulla causing whay
Increase tidal volume and dec resp to maintain ventilkation
Chest wall rigidty with opiate
Central acting can be inhibitted by muscle relaxant
Meperidine inhibits shivering via
Kappa receptors
Properties of opiates that are resistant to tolerance
Constipation is resistant to tolerance meaning everyone gets it
Also miosis is resistant
Maoi and meperidine
Can precipitate seretonin syndrom
Sufentanil vs fentanyl in infusions
Fentanyl redistributes from periphery to central compartment after infusion is stopped
Sufentanil contiues to go into periphery even when drip is stopped
Means context sensative halflife is much longer in fenanyl
Remifenil and dibucaine number
No affect. Remi is non spec esterases. Dibucaine interprets pseudocholinesterase
Benzodiazipine moa
Binds to gaba-a in cns and leads to inc binding of receptor to gaba molecule.
This then causes hyperpolorization and dec post synaptic excitability
Baclofen vs benzo teceptor
Baclofen gaba b, benzo gaba-a
How long after surgery must pt come back if not voided
12 hrs
Max dec of mac w high dose opiods
60%
Longest half life termination
Methadone
Chronic opiod affect
Dec in opiate receptors and glutimate receptors
Also leads to increased nmda receptors even tho glutumate binds to nmda
So ketamine a nmda antag is good for chronic pain patients
