31
Q

Agents to treat chronic pain - Adjuncts

A

† Anticonvulsants

32
Q

Preemptive Analgesia

A

After tissue injury or surgery:
† Damage causes peripheral sensitization and central
sensitization
… Treatment started before and is operational during a
surgical procedure
… Antinociceptive treatment that reduces altered
sensory input

Research
† preemptive analgesia decreases peripheral sensitization
† Decrease in central sensitization controversial

33

† Less PONV than control, no adverse psychic effects or

sedation

38
Q

Local Anesthetics MOA

A

reversibly block impulse conduction along
nerve axons and other excitable membranes that
utilize sodium channels as the primary means of
action potential generation

39
Q

Local Anestheits causes
