Cards

Term
Indications for GI Prophylaxis
Definition
Stress-related Mucosal Damage (SMRD - "stress ulcers");
NSAID-induced ulcers
Term
Stress-related Mucosal Damage (SMRD - "Stress Ulcers")
Definition
occurs in critically ill pts;
mucosal erosions begin w/in hrs of "stress";
increased gastric acid production, decreased protection;
Term
Prophylaxis
Definition
best treatment for SMRD (stress ulcers);
Indicated when:
- if major risk factor present
OR
- if >2 minor risk factors present
Term
Risk Factors for SRMD
Definition
MAJOR:
mechanical ventilation;
coagulopathy (Plt <50,000; INR >1.5; PTT >2 x control);
Hx of GI ulceration w/in past year;

MINOR:
Sepsis;
ICU admission >1 wk;
Occult GI bleeding lasting > or = 6 days;
Glucocorticoid therapy (>250 mg hydrocortisone);
Term
Goal of SRMD Prophylaxis
Definition
restore mucosal blood flow
Term
Antisecretory Meds - PPI, H2RA
Definition
preferred option for tx/prophylaxis of SMRD
Term
PO PPI - standard doses
Definition
antisecretory med preferred in ICU pts on PO medication
Term
IV H2RA
Definition
preferred antisecretory med for ICU pts that are NPO (not by mouth)
Term
H2RAs
Definition
most studied antisecretory med;
found to be most effective;
given BID most commonly
Term
sucralfate, antacids
Definition
2 antisecretory meds that generally are NOT used for prophylaxis of SMRD
Term
Zegerid (IR omeprazole + NaHCO3)
Definition
IR omeprazole 40 mg + NaHCO3 20 mEq;
- give 40 mg q6-8 hr x 2 doses, then 40 mg/day x 14 days
Term
cimetidine
Definition
H2RA that can be given as IV infusion
Term
High Risk for NSAID-induced Ulcer
Definition
Hx of complicated ulcer;
More than 2 risk factors for NSAID-induced GI toxicity;
Low dose ASA + (glucocorticoids OR warfarin OR clopidogrel OR prasugrel);
Term
Moderate Risk (1-2) for NSAID-induced Ulcers
Definition
>65 yr old;
High-dose NSAID;
Previous uncomplicated ulcer;

**If you have ALL 3 of these --> HIGH RISK**
Term
Low CV Risk AND Low GI Toxicity Risk (no indication for ASA)
Definition
Can use lowest dose NSAID
Term
Low GI toxicity risk AND High CV Risk (need ASA for CV protection)
Definition
naproxen + (PPI or misoprostol)
Term
Moderate GI Toxicity Risk AND Low CV Risk (no need for ASA)
Definition
NSAID + (PPI or misoprostol)
Term
High GI Toxicity Risk AND Low CV Risk (no need for ASA)
Definition
Alternative Tx
OR
COX-2 inhibitor + (PPI or misoprostol)
Term
Moderate GI Toxicity Risk AND High CV Risk (needs ASA)
Definition
naproxen + (PPI or misoprostol)
Term
High GI TOxicity Risk AND High CV Risk (ASA needed)
Definition
Alternative Tx --> Use tramadol, then opiates if tramadol is not effective;
**NO COX-2 inhibitors OR NSAIDs**
Term
naproxen + esomeprazole (Vimovo)
Definition
375 mg/20 mg - 500 mg/20 mg BID
Term
misoprostol (Cytotec)
Definition
better than placebo at protecting gut;
equivalent to PPI/H2RA at 200 mcg QID;
use limited due to ADRs (GI side effects);
Term
PPI - esomeprazole [Nexium] 20-40 mg qday, lansoprazole [Prevacid] 15-30 mg qday
Definition
significantly reduced gastric & duodenal ulcer in pts taking NSAIDs & COX-2 inhibitors;
Term
H2RA
Definition
can use standard doses to relieve NSAID-induced dyspepsia;
NOT recommended as prophylaxis for GI complications;
use standard doses
Term
Secondary Prevention of GI Prophylaxis
Definition
Continued use of NSAID/low-dose ASA --> use PPI at lowest dose
Term
Improvement of Pt's Status
Definition
can stop prophylaxis when this occurs
Term
CYP 2C19
Definition
CYP enzyme that metabolizes PPIs;
Can have genetic polymorphisms (more common in Asians)
Term
clopidogrel (Plavix)
Definition
antiplatelet med activated by CYP 2C19 & 3A;
PPIs cause decreased activation --> decreased efficacy;
Term
prasugrel (Effient)
Definition
another antiplatelet medication activated by CYP 3A, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19;
PPIs decrease activation --> decreased efficacy;
Term
ticagrelor (Brilinta)
Definition
antiplatelet medication activated via CYP 3A4;
PPIs decrease activation --> decreased efficacy
Term
nelfinavir (Viracept)
Definition
antiviral w/ ADR & GI problems;
Metabolized by CYP 2C19 & 3A4;
If HIV pt is stable (no detectable VL), try to AVOID PPI**
If you HAVE to use PPI, use for LESS than 14 days;
Term
warfarin (Coumadin)
Definition
anticoagulant that interacts w/ omeprazole --> PT decreases by 10%
Term
diazepam (Valium)
Definition
benzodiazepine that interacts w/ omeprazole --> increases T1/2 by 130%
Term
phenytoin (Dilantin)
Definition
anticonvulsant that interacts w/ omeprazole --> T1/2 increased by 30%
Term
digoxin (Coumadin)
Definition
antiarrhythmic that interacts with omeprazole --> AUC increased by 10%
Term
carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Definition
anticonvulsant that interacts w/ omeprazole --> AUC increased by 75%
Term
Drug Interactions with PPIs
Definition
decreased effectiveness of alendronate;
decreased Mg absorption;
increased risk of fractures;
increased risk of C. diff infections;
rebound hypersecretion;
increased risk for nosocomial & community-acquired pneumonia;
decreased Vit. B12 absorption;
decreased Iron absorption
