41
Which receptors are activated at lower concentrations?
H1 receptors: effects rapid and transient
42
Which receptors are activated at Higher concentrations?
H2 receptors
43
Slowed conduction of cardiac impulses through the AV node is due to
activation of H1 receptors.
44
Coronary artery vasoconstriction is mediated by and
H1 receptors,
45
Coronary artery vasodilation is mediated by
H2 receptors.
46
Decrease in systemic BP induced by histamine are prevented by
prior administration of the combination of H1 and H2 receptor antagonist.
47
Blocking either receptor alone
does not completely prevent the hypotensive effects of histamine
48
The presence of vagal activity results in even higher rate
hydrogen ion secretion.
49
Anacidity or hyposecretion of hydrogen ions in response to histamine may reflect
pernicious anemia, atrophic gastritis or gastric carcinoma.
50
At low concentrations H1 antagonist act as
competitive antagonist.
51
At high concentrations second generation H1 antagonist can act as
non-competitive antagonist.

57
Promethazine (Phenergan) Duration of action
4 to 24 hours
58
H2 antagonists medications are
Cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, and nizatidine
59
H2 antagonists are _______and _______inhibition of
that produce selective and reversible inhibition of H2 mediated secretion of acidic gastric fluid.
60
The histamine receptors on membranes of the acid-secreting parietal cells are of the ___type and are therefore not blocked by____ antagonists
H2; H1 antagonist
61
The occupation of H2 receptors by histamine released by mast cells and possibly other cells
activates adenylate cyclase, increasing the concentration of cAMP.
62
The occupation of H2 receptors, The increase in cAMP activates the
proton pump of the gastric parietal cells to secrete hydrogen ions against a large concentration gradient
63
The principal method of clearance from the plasma of oral doses of cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine
Hepatic metabolism
64
Renal clearance is the principal method for oral | doses of
nizatidine
65
The dose of cimetidine should be decreases in
patients with hepatic disease to avoid mental confusion.
66
Renal failure increases the elimination half life of
the H2 antagonist with the greatest effect on famotidine and nizatidine.
67
Decreases in dose are recommended for all of the
H2 antagonist for patients with renal failure.
68
Duodenal ulcers associated with
hypersecretion of gastric hydrogen ions.
69
In the preoperative period H2 antagonist are used to
increase the pH of gastric fluid before induction of anesthesia.
70
H2 antagonist are useful agents to decrease the risk of .
acid pneumonitis if inhalation of acidic gastric fluid occurs in the perioperative period
71
___________prior to induction, with or without a similar dose the evening prior to surgery.
Cimetidine 300mg orally 1.5-2 hours
72
H-2 antagonist ability to decrease the
volume of gastric fluid has been unpredictable
73
H2 antagonist have no influence on the
pH of the fluid already present in the stomach
74
Preoperative preparation of patients with allergic histories or patients undergoing procedures with an increase likelihood of allergic reactions (radiographic contrast dyes) may include prophylactic oral administration of an
``` H1 antagonist ( diphenhydramine 0.5-1mg/kg) AND an H2 antagonist (cimetidine 4mg/kg) every 6 hours in the 12 to 24 hour period prior to the event ```
75
H2 antagonist can be used in combination with an H1 antagonist to prevent the effects of histamine releasing drugs such as
morphine or atracurium, mivacurium, or protamine.
76
H2 antagonists Most common side effects include
diarrhea, headache, fatigue, and muscle pain
77
_______and _______ are associated with rapid IV administration of these agents most often to the elderly of critically ill.
Bradycardia and hypotension
78
Numerous drug interactions have been described between H-2 antagonist .
most commonly cimetidine. •
79
H2 antagonists The principal mechanism is impairment of
hepatic microsomal (cytochrome p-450) enzymes by cimetidine.
80

propranolol, and diazepam that undergo high hepatic extraction.
81
Drugs that eliminated byare not effected
conjugation (oxazepam, lorazepam)
82
Cimetidine may increase the toxicity of
lidocaine
83

deflurination of methoxyflurane; inhibits oxidative metabolism of halothane.
84
Ranitidine has less potential than cimetidine to alter
hepatic enzymes.
85

bind to hepatic enzymes
86

decrease the absorption of the H2 antagonist.
88
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Drugs that provides prolonged inhibition of gastric acid secretion, regardless of the stimulus.
89
PPI These agents work by:
inhibiting gastric parietal cell hydrogen-potassium ATPase (PPI).
90
Daytime and nocturnal acid secretion and meal
stimulated acid secretion are inhibited to a greater degree with PPI then with H2 antagonist.
91
Currently the best treatment for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
PPI
92
Lansoprazole is available in a
suspension form
93
Pantoprazole is available in
IV formulation.
94
Omeprazole or esomeprazole capsules can be opened and the
granules can be placed into sodium bicarbonate.
95
Most common adverse reactions of PPI include; –
headache, and diarrhea
96
Serious but rare adverse reactions include
``` – Blood dyscrasia – Hepatic dysfunction – Stevens Johnson syndrome – Erythema multiforme – Pancreatitis ```
97
Studies with omeprazole suggest that this agent should be given
>3 hours prior to induction of anesthesia in order to be effective.
98
Cromolyn inhibits antigen-induced release of histamine and other autacoids, including
leukotrienes from pulmonary mast cells, as well as from mast cells at other sites.
99
