Non opioid anagesics Flashcards
(101 cards)
Non- opouids that can be effective for severe pain
IV tylenol and Ketoralac
Ceiling effect of APAP and ASA is between _________. What might be more effecatious?
- 650 and 1300 mg.
- NSAIDS
exceeding the ceiling dose results in________
More adverse side effects with no added efficacy
Non- opioid analgesics have an andvantages as they do not develop_________.
Tolerance
Does nothing for inflammmatory response
Tylenol
What non opoid analgesics inhibit platelet functioning, and which ones do not?
- NSAIDs and ASA inhibit platelet functioning
- Tylenol does not - can use prior to surgery
Central effect - MOA not entirely known….may:
- Cause NMDA activation in CNS
- Inhibit substance P in spinal cord
- Cause desensitization of TRIP A channel
Good choice for:
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Pediatrics
- Parturients
- Patients who need well functioning platelets
Acetomenophen
Tylenol PO dose
325-650mg q4-6 hours
Tylenol IV dose
1gm over 15 minutes - q4-6 hours and NOT to exceed 4000mg in 24 hours
APAP has similar potency to _______. Likewise, single anesthetic doses have the same _________ curve
- ASA
- Time - effect
When does IV APAP peak, when should it be given
It peaks in 15 minutes, so the infusion shoulg be given 15 minutes prior to the patient waking up
APAP is ______________ to an _____________ that is ______________. The name of this meotabolite is ______________.
- hydroxylated
- actve metambolite
- hepatotoxic
- N-acetyl- p- benzoquinone
Maximum sage dose to APAP
4gm/day
Doses of APAP should be lowered with _________ because they will produce _______ of the active metabolite.
- ETOH use
- more
What breaks down the N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone? What is significant about it?
- The active metabolite for tylenol is broken down by glutathione
- when glutothione is outnumbered by the active metabolite ie overdose- it causes hepatic injury
In acetomenophen overdose what can be substituted for glutathione?
- Acetylcystine - if given within 8 hours
- Activated charcole- only if it is given within 30 minutes of oral overdose
APAP and Renal toxicity
Renal papillary accumulation of metabolites causes reanal cell necrosis with longterm use
What has a higheer risk of renal injuty that APAP?
NSAIDs
Arachadonic acid is released from___________ by the enzyme ___________. This pathway is upregualted by __________.
- Phosphalipids
- Phosphalipase II
- Inflammation
Arachadonic acid is immediately metabolized by
- ________
- ________
- ________
The first tow are the ones we are mostly concerned with.
- Cyclooxygenase
- Lipoxygenase
- Epoxcygenase
Metabolism of Arachadonic acid via Cyclooxygenase leads to the formation of:
- ____________
- ____________
- ____________
- ____________
- Prostaglandins
- Prostacycline
- Thromboxane A2
- Inflammatory pain responses
for platelet aggreagation
Thromboxane A2
causes pain, fever and inflammtion
prostaglandins produced from COX-2
