Cards

Term
Morphine
Definition
Pain, Mechanically ventilated analgesia [Asthma, paralytic ileus, hypoventilation, upper airway obstruction] Metabolized in liver, active M6G secreted by kidney, epidurals used
Term
Mu-opioid receptor agonists
Definition
Morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone
Term
Codeine
Definition
Pain {Opioid Adversia plus seizure} [Premature delivery, premature infants] antitussive and antidiarrheal. Quinidine inhibits bioactivation.
Term
Opioid Adversia
Definition
{Respiratory depression, hypotension, confusion, addiction, constipation, nausea, vomiting, sedation}
Term
Oxycodone, Hydrocodone
Definition
Pain {Opioid Adversia} More effective than other opioid agonists
Term
Synthetic mu-opioid agonists
Definition
Methadone, Fetanyl, Alfentanil, Sufentanil, Ramifentanil, Meperidine, Lovorphanol, Propoxyphene
Term
Methadone
Definition
Detoxification, Severe Pain {Opioid adversia} Long duration of action useful for cancer patients
Term
Fentanyl, Alfentanil, Sufentanil
Definition
Pain {Opioid adversia} Transdermal formulation
Term
Fentanyl
Definition
More powerful than morphine and sufentanil but less than alfentanil
Term
Remifentanyl
Definition
Pain, Adjunct to general anesthesia {Opioid adversia plus rigitidy} [Avoid epidural/intrathecal causing neurotoxicity] rapid metabolism and elimination
Term
Meperidine
Definition
Pain {Opioid Adversia plus euphoria and mydriasis} [MAOI recently] normeperidine metabolite causes CNS excitability and seizures. Renal excretion. Avoid selegiline or sibutramine.
Term
Levorphanol
Definition
Pain {Opioid Adversia} IV and oral
Term
Propoxyphene
Definition
Pain {Opioid Adversia} related to methadone, mild centrally acting. Increases carbamazepine. No longer available.
Term
Partial mu-receptor agonists
Definition
Butorphanol and buprenorphine
Term
Butorphanol, Buprenorphine
Definition
Pain, adjunct to balanced anesthesia {Hyotension, palpitations, tinnitus, respiratory depression, URI, dizziness, sedation, insomnia} [Hypersensitivity] Milder euphoria, intranasal spray and IV
Term
Kappa-agonists but mild mu-antagonist
Definition
Pain, adjunct to balanced anesthesia {Respiratory depression, hypersensitivity frequently, sweating nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sedation} [Hypersensitivity] may precipitate withdrawal from addicts
Term
Opioid Receptor Antagonists
Definition
Naloxone, Naltrexone, Alvimopan
Term
Naloxone
Definition
Acute opioid toxicity {Cardiac arrhythmia, HTN, hypotension, pulmonary edema, withdrawal} combination with yohimbine increases withdrawal symptoms
Term
Naltrexone
Definition
Opioid/alcohol additions {Cardiac arrhythmia, HTN, hypotension, pulmonary edema, withdrawal, DNT, PE} [Liver insufficiency]
Term
Alvimopan
Definition
Post-operative ileus or opioid bowl disfunction {diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, nervousness, polyuria, elevated LFTs} [Hypersensitivity] Targets peripheral receptors. May prevent morphine constipation but not analgesia
Term
NMDA Receptor Antagonists
Definition
Analgesia, dissociative anesthesia {HTN, tachyarrhythmia, myoclonus, respiratory depression, increased intracranial pressure, hallucinations, vivid dreams psychiatric symptoms} [HTN] Good for acute severe pain, bad dreams. Increases sympathetics
Term
Dextromethorphan
Definition
Cough, Neuropathic pain {Dizziness, somnolence, fatigue} [MAOI] Risk of serotonin syndrome so avoid selegiline and sibutramnine
