25
What is the MOA of Corticosteroids in the treatment of N/V? Why are Corticosteroids used with 5-HT3 (Ondansetron) & droperidol? Hint: It was studied in CINV!
- MOA is unknown: It works on glucocorticoid receptors in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS). - Corticosteroids potentiate 5 HT3 antagonists and droperidol!
26

4 - 8 mg IV MOA: Anti-inflammatory; inhibition of phospholipase and cytokines and stabilization of cellular membrane.
27
What is the delay of onset of Dexamethasone (Decadron)? How long does efficacy persist? Are there any adverse effects of a single dose of Dexamethasone (Decadron)? What occurs if it is pushed fast?
- Onset: 2 hours. Efficacy: 24 hours. - Nope - Perineal burning/itching
28
According to the TXWES medication guide, what are the doses for Acetaminophen (Ofirmev), Ketorlac (Toradol), & Ibuprofen (Caldor).
Slide 62
29
A 50 y/o, 60 kg female patient received a Lidocaine initial dose of 1 mg/kg with a subsequent infusion of 1.5 mg/kg/hour for 1.5 hours. How much total Lidocaine in mgs did she receive in the PACU?
60kg x 1 mg/kg = 60 mg 60 kg x 1.5 mg/kg = 90 mg (1 hour) (60 kg x 1.5mg/kg = 90 mg)/2 = 45 mg (30 minutes) 60+90+45 = 195 mg total!!!
30
Multidose lidocaine vials are used for _____.
infiltration or peripheral nerve block.
31
Lidocaine is an ______ structure local anesthetic. Which drug is an exception to the amide/ester rule?
- Amide (amides anesthetics have 2 "i"s) - Cocaine. Cocaine is also local amide anesthetic.
32
How is lidocaine metabolized?
Liver
33
What is the IV bolus and infusion dose of lidocaine? When should the infusion be terminated?
- 1 to 2 mg/kg IV bolus over 2-4 min. - 1 to 2 mg/kg/hr infusion - Terminated within 12-72 hours.
34
Regarding Gabapentin's preemptive analgesia, What 3 studies/ procedures is it used in?
- Spine surgeries - Orthopedic procedures - Major abdominal procedures. (slide 27)
35
- What is the PO dose of preemptive Gabapentin? - When should we give it? - What is it's MOA?
- 300-1200mg PO - 1-2 hrs prior to OR - GABA analogue
36
For Preemptive Gabapentin, what patient population is it contraindicated for?
- MG and Myoclonus patients - Reduce dose in elderly patients
37
What are Gabapentin's side effects?
**Think ↑GABA effects** - Somnolence - fatigue - ataxia - vertigo - GI disturbances: constipation - abrupt withdrawal in seizure pts (when Gaba is used as an antiepiliptic): causing seizures - wt gain
38
For Ofirmev, what is the Dose, Peak effect time, and duration?
39
What is the MOA for Ofirmev?
Reduces prostaglandin metabolites
40
What is the absolute contraindication for Ketorolac per Castillo?
Anaphylaxis reaction
41
For Ketorolac, what is the: - MOA - Peak - Dosing
MOA: Inhibits PG synthesis by inhibiting COX 1 and COX 2 Peak: 45 to 60 minutes IV Dose: 15 to 30mg q6h (1/2 dose in elderly) Max Dose: 60-120mg QD
42
What are some contraindications to consider when giving Toradol?
- Severe Renal impairment - Risk for bleeding - CAD - CABG - Pregnant - NSAID allergy
43
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? 1-5 mcg/ml = ? 5-10 mcg/ml = ?
1-5 = analgesia 5-10 = circum-oral numbness; tinnitus; skeletal muscle twitching; systemic HYPOtension; myocardial depression
44
Lidocaine plasma concentration of ____ causes what? 10-15 mcg/ml = ? 15-25 mcg/ml = ?
These are OD levels 10-15 = Sz's; unconsciousness 15-25 = apnea (*pons & medullary depression*); coma
45
Which procedure would you expect to see a high use of Lidocaine? (HINT: Castillo mentioned this)
EGD's Castillo gives a "boatload" of lidocaine in EGD's (per Castillo)
46
If we give Lido w/ Epi, should the dose be higher or lower? Why?
Higher: epinephrine will locally vasoconstrict and prevent lidocaine leakage into the intravascular space. (Castrater)
47
How is lidocaine overdose treated?
Lipid rescue
48
Which patients receive magnesium sulfate most often per Castillo?
Preeclamptic & eclamptic OB patients.
49
This med has anti-nociceptive effects by antagonizing the NMDA receptor and "probably" potentiates opioids centrally and peripherally.
Magnesium
50
Mg++ regulates which four cellular functions?
- Ca++ access intracellularly. - Neurotransmission - Cell signaling - Enzyme function
51
Which ion has limited movement across the BBB?
Mg⁺⁺
52
What conditions are contraindicative for magnesium administration?
Myasthenia Gravis & Renal Failure
53
What adverse side effects could occur with Mg++?
Hypotension, bradycardia, ataxia, somnolence, decreased muscular tone.
54
What is Mg⁺⁺ dosing for the following two situations? Preop: Intraop:
- Preop: 50 mg/kg IV - Intraop: 8 mg/kg/hr IV
55
What opioid requirement does the use of Mg++ significantly decrease?
Fentanyl
56
Ibuprofen: - MOA - Contraindications - Dose - Peak - Excretion
- COX 1 & 2 Inhibition = ↓ PG synthesis - Nephropathy, CABG, bleeding disorders, wound healing - 200 - 800 mg QD - 1-2 hours - Urine & Bile
57
Using multimodal anesthesia, what 2 meds might we give in preop to better control pain later?
Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO, Gabapentin 300 mg PO (slide 23)
58
With non-opioid anesthesia, what medications are used for induction?
Proposal, Lidocaine, Ketamine, volatile anesthetics. Paralytic if needed.
59
What is the MOA of gabapentin?
**GABA Analog actions:** - Blockage of VG Ca⁺⁺ channels - inhibits release excitatory neurotransmitters - Descending inhibitory tract enhancement
60
Is gabapentin lipid soluble? What percentage protein-binding occurs with gabapentin? What’s it’s E 1/2 time?
- Yes; Lipid soluble - 0% (not protein-bound) - Brief E 1/2 time
