Multimodal - test 2 Flashcards
What enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of prostaglandins?
COX (Cyclooxygenase)
This form of COX is responsible for gastric protection, hemostasis, and renal function-
COX-1
COX-1 or COX-2? Ubiquitous, ‘physiologic’, inhibition is responsible for many adverse effects
COX-1
COX-1 or COX-2? Pathophysiologic, expressed at sites of injury, not protective
COX-2
COX-2 is responsible for which symptoms?
Pain, inflammation, and fever
What are the three main properties of NSAID drugs?
Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic
Non-specific or COX-2 selective? Ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, acetaminophen, and ketorolac
Non-Specific - increased gastric irritation with these
Multimodal includes _____ acting anesthetics agents and _______ sparing components.
short acting; Opioid sparing.
Celecoxib (Celebrex), Rofecoxib (Vioxx), Valdecoxib (Extra), Parecoxib (Dynastat) are all examples of what?
COX-2 Selective NSAIDs
Do COX-2 selective NSAIDs effect platelets?
NO
Because COX-2 selective NSAIDs have no effect on platelets, that increase the chance of what two disease processes?
MI and CVA
COX-2 selective and nonspecific inhibitors have _____________ analgesia
Comparable
What was the first COX-2 inhibitor that decreases PG synthesis?
Celecoxib (Celebrex)
What is the dosage for Celebrex?
200 to 400 mg PO QD
Celebrex reaches its peak in…
3 hours
Define non-opioid anesthesia. List some alternatives to treat pain.
PT & OT, Chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, yoga, weight loss, cold/heat, OTC medications, TENS unit…etc.
What are the 2 classes of opioids?
1) Phenanthrenes (L-isomers have opioid activity; morphine, codeine)
2) Benzylisoquinolones (Lack opioid activity; Papaverine, noscapine)
What drug class does Ondansetron fall into?
It is the first 5-HT3 antagonist
-It was approved for CINV
-Responsiveness decreased by variations in the CYP2D6 activity
Ondansetron is equivocal to what two drugs?
Droperidol & Metoclopramide
What are the side effects of Ondansetron?
HA, Constipation and some QT prolongation
What is the duration & dose of Ondansetron?
- Duration/plasma half life is 4 hours
- Dose: Adults: 4 mg IV (up to 8 mgs)
- Dose: Pediatrics: 0.1 mg/kg IV
What is the MOA of Corticosteroids? Why are Corticosteroids used with 5-HT3 (Ondansetron) & droperidol?
MOA is unknown: It works on glucocorticoid receptors in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS)
Corticosteroids increase effectiveness for 5 HT3 antagonists and droperidol
What is the dose for Dexamethasone (Decadron)? What is the MOA of Dexamethasone (Decadron)?
8 to 10 mgs
MOA: Anti-inflammatory; inhibition of phospholipase and cytokines and stabilization of cellular membrane.
What is the delay of onset of Dexamethasone (Decadron)? Are there any adverse effects of a single dose of Dexamethasone (Decadron)?
Delay in onset is 2 hours. Efficacy persists for 24 hours
With diabetics one dose will not throw off their blood sugar levels.
