Definition
metofromin will not cuase hypoglycemia during fasting periods of 1-2 days. There is no risk of lactic acidosis with metformin in patients iwth a fucntioning liver and kidneys. Do not restart metformin until after there is no more risk lactic acidosis development.
Term
where does lasix work on the nephron
Definition
on the thick ascending limb of the loop of henle

what receptor in the nephron does lasix work on
Definition
the na/cl/k pumps

three major side effects of lasix are
Definition
1. deafness from damage to cranial nerve VIII
2. hypovolemia
3. hypokalemia
Term
how does lasix cause a decrease in BP
Definition
lasix causes prostaglandin to be released from the kidneys which causes venodilation. This equates to decrease preload and lower BP
Term
spironolactone works primarily on what segment of the renal tubule
Definition
acts primarily as a competitive antagonist of aldosterone at the collecting duct.
Term
what does spironalactone do to K, Na and H20
Definition
Spiractolone competes with aldosterone. Causes increase H20 and Na excretion while preserving K so it increases serum K.
Term
a renal failure patinet that needs diuresis will respond best to what diuretic and why
Definition
best responds to mannitol since this drug does not depend on the healthy state of the kidney.
Term
what is diamox
Definition
it is a weak diuretic. Works by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase.
Term
diamox may do what to K, Na, and other ions
Definition
diamox will result in excretion of bicarb and potassium. So H20 loss.
Term
diamox acts on what part of the nephron
Definition
proximal tubules
Term

Term
acid + acid = more ionized or nonionized
Definition
acid + acid = more nonionized
acid + base = more ionized.
Term
What happens when a weak acid is
injected into an acidotic patient?
Definition
More drug is nonionized; as pH falls, the nonionized fraction increases (acid + acid =nonionized).
Term
Will the eNS actions of barbiturates be
intensified or diminished in the patient who is acidotic? Explain.
Definition
The eNS actions of barbiturates will be intensified in patients who are acidotic (acid + acid = nonionized). More barbiturate is nonionized at lower pH, so greater amounts cross the blood:brain barrier.
Term
Propofol, a weak acid, has a pK. of 11.0. Is propofol mostly ionized or mostly unionized at normal physiologic pH 7.4? Will the dominant form readily cross membranes or not?
Definition
Since the normal physiologic pH 7.4 is less than the pK. 11.0 ofpropofol,
the body environment is an acidic environment for the weak acid propoI
fol. Remember, the pK. of a given substance is "dividing mark" for acidic
and basic environments. The mnemonic is "acids + acids -7 more unionized':
therefore propofol will be mostly nonionized at physiologic pH 7.4.
I
The unionized form of a substance is lipid-soluble and thus readily crosses
membr
Term
What agents used in anesthesia are weak bases
Definition
Weak bases include: all local anesthetics; all opioids (fentanyl, alfentanil,
morphine, etc); benzodiazepines (diazepam, midazolam, etc); etomidate;
and ketamine.
Term
What happens to the amount of weak base in ionized form as pH decreases? As pH increases?
Definition
.As pH decreases, the amount of weak base in ionized form increases. (Rule:
base + acid more ionized). Conversely, as pH increases, the amount of
weak acid in ionized form increases. (Rule: base + base = more nonionI
ized).
Term
base + base =
acid + baser =
acid + acid =

more ionized or more nonionized
Definition
base + base = more non-ionized
acid + baser = more ionized
acid + acid = more nonionized
Term
