Midazolam Class
Benzodiazepine
Midazolam Glucuronidation leads to
active metabolite 1- hydroxymidazolam
Efficacy measures intrinsic ability of a drug to produce clinical effects. What is the intrinsic ability of Midazolam ?
Full effect
In selected patient ____or opioid maybe added to propofol for continuous IV sedation .
Midazolam
Cerebral blood flow velocity changes in______direction with changes in PCO2 in the presence of propofol and _______
Parallel ; Midazolam
At equal sedation level _____produces same degree of memory impairment as ______ , while ______produces less and fentanyl produces none.
Propofol ; Midazolam; Thiopental
Cerebral vasomotor response is preserved during propofol and Midazolam Anesthesia in humans . True or False.
True
Imidazole nucleus renders etomidate and Midazolam water soluble at ___pH and Lipid soluble at ___pH
Acidic; physiologic
Most commonly used benzo in the perioperative period is…because …
Midazolam ; because diazepam and Lorazepam have a prolonged context 1/2 life
Which is the only benzo used for prolonged administration when rapid recovery is desired ?
Midazolam
___in contrast with barbituates and propofol is unable to produce isoelectric EEG.
Midazolam
Although clinical significance is unclear, This drug’s inhibition of platelet aggregation reflects conformational changes in platelet membranes
Midazolam significantly inhibits platelet aggregation
Midazolam is a —-soluble drug with a ——ring that contribute to its stability in ——solution and rapid metabolism
Water soluble; imidazole ; aqueous
Which benzo has replaced diazepam in the periop ?
Midazolam
with Midazolam and other benzo the amenesic effect is _____than the sedation effect .
More
Midazolam is unlike other benzo because it has a
Subtituted imidazole ring
What happens to Midazolam at physiological pH in the bloodstream
90% of midazolam is unprotonated and lipid soluble
Does Midazolam cause IV discomfort ? And compatible with what ?
No IV or IM discomfort , ok with LR, can be mixed with acidic drugs i.e: opioids and anticholinergic
Midazolam PO has substantive first pass effect : meaning
Only 50% of PO dose of Midazolam reaches the systemic circulation
Midazolam absorption
Rapid absorption in GI tract
Midazolam BBB
Crosses BBB but has a slow effect site equilibrium compared to thiopental and propofol
Midazolam and plasma protein binding
Extensive ; 98%; its protein binding is independent to its plasma concentration
Midazolam has an extensive protein binding yet a short DOA( like diazepam ) why ?
98% protein binding , but high lipid solubility = fast high redistribution from the brain to inactive tissue
Metabolism of Midazolam is done by the
Hepatic and small intestine cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 to active and inactive metabolites
1 hyrdoxymidazolam is rapidly glucorunated to 1 hydroxymidazolam glucuronide and is then excreted by the kidneys .
4- hydroxymidazolam is the other active metabolite ..but so little
