Lecture 4 - Pre-Op Meds (Exam 1) Flashcards
1
Q
How does enteric-coated omeprazole (Prilosec) turn into an active form when ingested?
What does it specifically inhibit as do other PPIs?
A
It is converted into an active form by protonation in parietal cells.
These cells are in the stomach and are responsible for gastric acid secretion.
Inhibits H+ and K+ ATPase pump
Slide 17
(Omeprazole is a prodrug)
2
Q
What is MOA of omeprazole?
A
It inhibits proton pumps that are present.
Blocks H+/K+ ATPase pumps
(so, you have to continually take omeprazole to inhibit the pumps that have been developed at least for about 5 days)
Slide 17
3
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.)

6
Q
When do you give PO Omeprazole to the patient who is having surgery?
A
Greater than 3 hours before going to OR
Should be administered longer than 3 hours before anticipated induction for chemoprophylaxis

*Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
*Avoid other CNS depressants: barbiturates, opioids, general anesthetics (:
(Slide 28)
31
For N/V, ___________ is more effective than metoclopramide/Equally effective to 4mg ondansetron (much cheaper).
Droperidol (inapsine)
(Slide 28)
32
Studies show, H2 blockers are better for patients who have _______.
1. Aspiration Pneumonitis concerns
2. Pt's with intermittent symptoms and it's cost-effective
(H2 blockers do not prevent Aspiration Pneumonia but prevent pneumonitis due to decrease acidity of the contents aspirated.)
Slide 20
33
Why did Droperidol (inapsine) receive a Black Box Warning in 2001?
Because it prolonged QT intervals/torsades with higher doses!!
It also had lots of serious drug interactions with: amiodarone, diuretics, sotalol, mineralocorticoids, calcium channel blockers!!
(Slide 28)
34
What if a patient forgot to take their PPI before the surgery?
Continue to give whatever they were taking at home or, if not available, whatever the facility has.
Slide 20
35
What is a standard dose for Droperidol (inapsine)?
Doses: 0.625-1.25mg IV
(Slide 28)
36
Why is Ondansetron preferred over Droperidol (inapsine)?
Ondansetron works just as well on N/V as Droperidol but it is also has less side effects and it's much cheaper.
(Slide 28)
37
What would you give if a patient who has a full stomach and needs emergent surgery?
H2 blocker works faster to decrease the acidity of the stomach contents if there is volume already in the stomach - Per slide 10 H2’s decrease hyper-secretion of gastric fluids from parietal cells.
Medication that increases gastric emptying should be given like Dopamine Blockers
Slide 20
38
Antacids are broken down into two groups:
1. Particulate - Aluminum or magnesium based. Don't change pH or volume enough. Aspiration means acid aspiration
2. Non-Particulate - Sodium, carbonate, citrate, bicarbonate base - Neutralize acid. Ex. Citrate (Bicitra)
Slide 21
39
What are Particulate antacids?
Particulate antacids are aluminum or magnesium based.
(example: Maalox/Mylanta)
Slide 21
40
_________ is released from the chromaffin cells of the small intestine and __________ vagal afferents through the 5HT3 receptors causing __________. (Especially in pregnant people!)
Serotonin
Stimulates
vomiting
(Slide 30)
Vagal afferents form different terminal endings in the gut, including direct synapses with some enteroendocrine cells named neuropods. Vagal sensory neurons monitor ingested nutrients and water from the gut and provide fast regulation of food intake and fluid homeostasis
41
What receptors are ubiquitous meaning that can be found in the kidney, colon, liver, lung, & stomach?
Serotonin (5-HT3) RECEPTORS
(Slide 31)
42
What two locations have a high concentration of Serotonin (5-HT3) RECEPTORS?
BRAIN & GI TRACT
(Slide 31)
43
Why are Particulate antacids are not given to patients who have full stomach?
The aspiration of aluminum or magnesium-based antacids is as bad as that of acid.
Slide 21
44
What are Non-particulate antacids?
Non-Particulate antacids are sodium, carbonate, citrate, and bicarbonate based. They neutralize the acid contents in the stomach. Example: Sodium citrate (Bicitra)
(Much safer than particulate antacids if you were to aspirate)
Slide 21
45
In our bodies, what releases Histamine?
Basophils an Mast Cells
(slide 2)
46
What 3 things are induced by histamine?
1. Bronchoconstriction - Contraction of smooth muscles in the airway & GI tract (semester 1)
2. Increased gastric acid - Secretion of stomach acid (if we were to aspirate, we would fill our lungs with this acidic fluid)
3. Release of Neurotransmitters in the CNS
(slide 2)

NAS
Norepinephrine
Acetylcholine
Serotonin

Slide 11
60
H1 and H2 histamine receptor activation causes what clinical reactions in the body? (5 discussed) (think in the general sense of an allergic reaction)
1. Hypotension (from the release of Nitric oxide and causes vasodilation)
2. Capillary Permeability (the "Wheal and Flare triple response from Dr. T)
3. Flushing
4. Prostacyclin release (PGI2)
5. Tachycardia (Beta-1 activation and reflex tachycardia)
(slide 5)
61
Histamine Receptor Antagonists (Antihistamines) are also called: "competitive, reversible, Inverse Agonists" why?
Because they do not prevent the release of Histamine, but prevent the response to it.
(slide 5)
62
(1) H1 histamine receptors are located where? (3 places discussed)
1. Vestibular System
- help with the treatment of motion sickness
2. Airway smooth muscles

B. Competitive Antagonist
No (Side effects)
PONV/ anesthesia related n/v
Slide 32
68
Why are Granisetron (Kytril) & Dolasetron (Anzemet) not used much in clinical practice?
‘Alot more work’ for pharmacy to formulate and prepare them & not as effective as Zofran.
Slide 32
69
Does Ondansetron (Zofran) cross the BBB?
Does it affect other receptor sites? (Dopamine, histamine, adrenergic, cholinergic sites)
No. (Has no CNS effects)
Nope.
Slide 33
70
The only 3 side effects we worry about for Ondansetron (Zofran) are:
HA
Diarrhea
PROLONGED QT (with high doses)
Slide 33
71
Would it be better to give Ondansetron (Zofran) at the beginning or end of the case? Explain.
How much would you give IV?
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
What is the proposed MOA on how corticosteroids inhibit PONV?
-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
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.
No, you can use your stress-dose steroid as your PONV steroid in this instance.
Slide 34
74
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?
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
You give 4mg of Dexamethasone (Decadron) in preop & your patient screams, “Woah! My butthole feels spicy!!!”
What caused this?
You pushed your Decadron too fast, silly.
Slide 35
76
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’?
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
What are the traditional IV doses of Decadron?
When would you give more?
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

True.
Slide 36
82
What are the risks associated with long-term use of antacids (particulate or non-particulate)?
- 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
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?
Base component: Magnesium (or as Kane says, "Magnaaaysium") & aluminum
S/E: osmotic diarrhea; neurologic and neuromuscular impairment
(slide 22)
84
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?
Watch out for Hypercalcemia, bro. May cause you to develop some serious kidney stones
(slide 22)
85
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?
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
Which antacid protects against aspiration pneumonia (not specifically aspiration itself) by making the gastric acid more alkalotic?
Sodium Citrate (Bicitra)
(slide 23)
87
Sodium Citrate (Bicitra) also causes _________ which actually increases the risk of aspiration, especially in pts who ate/drank just prior to the procedure
Increased intragastric volume; if pt has been compliant and NPO, then we only increase intragastric volume by ~15-30 mls
(slide 23)
88
How does Sodium Citrate neutralize stomach acid?
converts gastric acid into salt, CO2, and water; so it neutralizes both the acid and base
(slide 23)
89
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?
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
Standard dose(s) of Sodium Citrate (Bicitra)
15-30 mls PO
(slide 23)
91
Any pregnant pts after 12 weeks gestation are ALWAYS considered _____ _______ when planning their anesthesia care plan.
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
Dopamine Blockers are known for?
What are the Pharmacodynamics?
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
Since Dopamine Blockers antagonize dopamine receptors, we avoid using these meds in which pt population?
Why?
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
Dopamine Blockers can pass the blood-brain barrier: True or false?
True
(slide 25)
95
So Dopamine Blockers can cross the BBB. What sort of side effects do we monitor for as a result?
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
The best place to place a scopolamine patch on the body is where?
Behind the ear. In general, thinner areas of skin that will remain unbothered, not exposed to elements. (Slide 37)
97
Mechanism of action for beta agonist bronchodilators?
B-receptor agonist (B2)
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
Dopamine Blockers are great for which statuses?
Some effects on the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone for Chemo Induced N/V (CINV) and post-op C-section, but these effects are still less than 5-HT3 antagonists
But apparently Zofran is still a better choice...so yeah
(slide 25)
99
Beta bronchodilator intended effects/action?
Reduce inflammation, relax smooth muscle of airways (slide 39).
100
2 puffs of an inhaler can increase your expiratory volume by what percentage? You will see this effect in ___ min.
FEV increases by 15% by 6 minutes. (Slide 39)
101
How do you use an inhaler?
Squeeze inhaler and take in deep breath over 5 - 6 seconds. Hold breath for 5 - 6 seconds. (Slide 40)
102
What percentage of bronchodilator drug actually reaches the lungs when you use an inhaler? How much reaches the lungs when administered through an ETT?
Inhaler = 12%. ETT 50 -70%. (Slide 40)
103
Do Dopamine Blockers cause any changes to gastric pH?
If so then what are the changes?
No
**LESS likely to cause aspiration** d/t decreased gastric volume (prokinetic)
(slide 25)
104
Name 3 examples of Dopamine Blockers
Metaclopramide (Reglan)
Domperidone
Droperidol (Inapsine)
(slide 25)
105
What side effects does a Beta agonist bronchodilator have? (Hint, think of what B1, B2, and B3 receptors do)
Tachycardia (B1), tremors (B2 in skeletal muscle), hyperglycemia (B3 breaking down fats).
May also see a transient decrease in arterial oxygenation. (Slide 41)
106
What is the dose range for Cimetidine?
150-300mg IV
Half the dose in renal impairment.
Slide 12
107
#1 DOC (drug of choice) for diabetic gastroparesis
Metaclopramide
(slide 26)
108
Why is a transient decrease in arterial oxygenation seen with administration of a bronchodilator?
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
2 examples of beta bronchodilators mentioned in class?
Albuterol (Proventil)
&
Levo - albuterol (Xopenex, also the L isomer of albuterol)
(slide 41)
110
What are the adverse effects of Cimetidine mentioned in lecture?
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

Slide 13
113
What are two **SEVERE** adverse rxn's of Metoclopramide (Reglan) & the side effects seen?
**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
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)
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
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?
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
