Non-opiod analgesic
Tx mild pain
Weak opiod + non-opiod analgesic
Tx mild to moderate pain
Strong opiod w/ or w/o non-opiod analgesic
Tx moderate to severe pain
Numeric Rating Scale for pain
NRS
Tissue injury
What type of injury is nociceptive pain?
Nerve injury
What type of injury is neuropathic pain?
Neuropathic pain
Which type of pain doesn’t respond as well to opiod therapy?
- CNS depression w/ mu & kappa receptors2. Inhibition of painful stimuli in the substantia gelatinosa of spinal cord, brainstem, RAS, thalamus & limbic system
MOA opiates
- Located in brain (usually preacqueductal area)2. Somatic pain & some visceral3. Assoc. w/ respiratory depression, euphoria, dependence, dec. GI motility & miosis
Mu receptors
- Located in spinal cord 2. Visceral pain3. Assoc. w/ sedation, miosis & dysphoria
Kappa receptors
- Located in spinal cord2. Antagonistic activity3. Assoc. w/ tachycardia, tachypnea, dysphoria, hallucinations, mydriasis, hypertoniaDoesn’t really affect pain but does cause side effects
Delta receptors
- Big 1st pass effect2. CYP450/2D6 3. Urine excretionWatch w/ renal failure & liver disease
Opiates kinetics
inc. affect
Protease inhibitors effect on opiates
- Fentanyl2. Methadone
Which opiates are metabolized by CYP3A4?
- Alcohol2. Sedatives 3. Muscle relaxants4. Phenothiazines
Which drugs have a big depressant affect w/ opiates?
- Allergy2. Acute bronchial asthma/upper airway obstruction3. MAOI w/in 2 wksCareful with:1. Hx of intolerance, serious side effects, lack of efficacy2. Pt w/ sleep apnea not on CPAP3. COPD Pts
Contraindications w/ opiates
No mammary glandsMove to different chemical groupingTrue allergies rare
Is there a class effect w/ allergies & opiates?
- Start w/ lowest possible dose2. Tx Pts for 48hrs w/ immediate release then convert 2/3 daily dosing to XR regimen No ceiling dose
Dosing opiates
- Codeine - Inc. CV risk2. Meperidine - high risk of delirium, seizures, excessive sedationUse acetaminophen
Which opiates should you avoid in the elderly?
Yes - it has hydrocodone & acetaminophen so it is limited by that
Does vicodin (hydrocodone) have a ceiling dose?
FentanylLess sedation & constipationNo histamine, quick onset, short duration of action, safest w/ renal faiure?
Which drug is 100x more potent than Morphine?
Fentanyl
Which opiate is safest w/ renal failure?
Methadone 1. Inhibition of reuptake monoamines (serotonin, NE)2. Inhibition of NMDA receptors Longest & most variable 1/2 life Higher freq. at 1st till builds up then taper to avoid toxicity Used for opiate detox.
Which opiate causes risk of QTc prolongation?
Both nociceptiveS - Inhibits & promotes pain perceptinoNE - Inhibits pain
Serotonin & NE affect on pain
