Q

doxyrubicin

does it have a dose dependnt effect on cardiotoxicity?
what are the EKG changes seen with acute toxicity
what are the other systems that it can effect?

A
  • yes dose dependent effect during and mnths after therapy
  • ST segment changes
  • hepatic, renal, GI, plum, myelotoxicity can also occur

Q

what procedure is methohexital usually used for and whalso what class of drugs is it

A

its a short acting barbituate

used for ECT, can trigger seizures

think you are HEXED with methohexital aka seizure activity

Q

relative contracindiations to ketamine use

A

ischemic heart disease (as sole agent)
vascular anuersym (as sole agent)
increased ICP / brain mass w spontaneous ventilation
open eye opthalmic injury (increased IOP)
schizophrenia

mostly bc ketamine will cause tachycardia and htn

Q

zero order vs first order kinetics

A

zero order is that the same amount of of drug is removed per a period of time, linear relationship

first order is dose dependent and removes a percentage of drug per unit time, this is dependent on liver blood flow

Q

recurrence of hypoapnea can happen when narcan is given after what two opioids

A

morphine
dilaudid

think the longer acting ones because narcan only has a 30 min ish duration
narcan = nolaxone

Q

what patients should you not use succ in

A

any pathology that causes an increase in ach receptors, denervating disorders etc.

you CAN use succ in MG and lambort eaton bc this will not cuase life threatening hyper k since there are less receptors available bc of the antibodies

Q

what two things will increase metabolism of cisatricurium

A

its hoffman elimination and increased temp and increased pH will increase hoffman elimination

32
Q

most common side effect of fospropofol

A

paresthesias and genital itching

its water soluble whereas propofol is lipid soluble (lipid soluble is more like to lead to bacteria growth)

33
Q

what pressor should u not give IM

A
34
Q

by what mechanism does glucagon help cardiac muscle

A

increases cAMP so increases chronotropy and ionotropy via nonadrenergic receptor

35
Q

what agent should you avoid using alone in thyrotoxicosis

A

radioactive iodine, it can initally worsen thyrotoxicosis

36
Q

at a MAC of 1 what volatiles preserve total hepatic blood flow the least

A

from greatest preservation to lease

sevo > iso > halothane

37
Q

two issues with using NO for abdominal insufflation

A
  1. surgical issue if surgery is prolonged

2. PONV risk is higher if surgery > 1 hour

38
Q

what substance is used to measure potency of inhaled anesthetic gases

A

olive oil

Meyer-overton correlation

39
Q

what benzo induction agent is NOT Assocaited w myoclonus

A

midazolam

40
Q

most effective method to reduce propofol pain

A

injecting it into the AC

mixing lido and prop decreases the stability of propofol

41
Q

what eye drug that causes dilation can cause CNS toxicity and convulsions

A

cyclopentolate

42
Q

mechanism of nalbuphine

A

mu antagoinst

kappa agonist

43
Q

flumazenil has a short half so u may need to do what when administering it?

A

redose it, could have recrudescence of sedation after since its so short

44
Q

how does succ affect LES tone and intragastric pressure

A

increases LES and intragastric pressure but it increases LES more

45
Q

4 herbal supplements related to increased bleeding

A

ginger
ginko
garlic
vitamin E

46
Q

what is the median time to peak plasma concentration for fentanyl patch

A

30 hours

onset happens in about 6-8 hours

47
Q

whats the onset of action of chlorprocaine

A

6-12 minutes

48
Q

what is normeperdidine

A

metabolite of meperidine from the liver that can cause CNS stimulation aka seizures

49
Q

what two drugs are metabolized by psuedocholinesterase

A

mivacurium

succinylcholine

50
Q

injecting into the corcobrachilias muscle will ensure what nerve is also blocked

A

musculocutaneous

if this is not properly blocked you will have sensation of the lateral forearm

51
Q

what protects patient from respiratory depression when using buphreorphine

A

ceiling affect for respiratory depression at high doses more than analgesoa

way stronger potency than

52
Q

what eyedrop drug inhibits psuedocholinesrterase and will potentiate succ // miva

A

echothiophase

think drug increases the ECHO “effect” of succ

53
Q

what respiratory effect do benzos have

A

decreased minute ventilaiton mostly by decreasesing tidal volume

54
Q

what does metoclompromide to to LES tone

A

it increaeses LES tone

think its a prokinetic and wants things to move fowrard

no affect on pH

55
Q

do calcium channel blockers affect acH release?

A

no

CCB work on L type channels not P channels

56
Q

which gas will cause megaloblastic anemia

A

NO

57
Q

what enzyme does etomidate suppress that reduces cortisol and aldosterone

A

11 beta hydroxylase

58
Q

what LA has the highest potency for cardiac toxicity

A

bupivicaine
and has the lowest cardiac:CNS toxicity ratio

think bupi will BUMP the HEART too hard that it stops

59
Q

does nicardipine act more on reducing preload or afterload

A

reduces afterload so its easier to titrate

60
Q

after stopping of antiplatlet agent how much platelets are restored each day

A

10-14% daily

61
Q

how is vecuronium cleared

A

liver metabolism

62
Q

what is the clinical correlation with volatile gas metabolism

A

more metabolism increases fluoride and can cause fluoride toxicity

sevo > enflurane > iso > des

enflurane is the only one that causes fluroide nephropathy

63
Q

how long before surgery should u apply scop patch and what are the common side effects of it
