Somatic Pain:
Superficial laceration or burn, IM injections, OM |
Sharp, stabbing, localized
Typically responds to tx: APAP, cold packs, steroids, local anesthetics, opioids, NSAID’s, tactile stimulation |
|
Visceral Pain:
Periosteum joints, muscles, sickle cell, appendicitis, renal stones |
General ache or pressure, can be sharp. Typically deeper innervation.
Typically responds to tx: Corticosteroids, NSAID’s, opioids, intraspinal local anesthetics |
|
Neuropathic Pain:
Trigeminal, post-traumatic neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, amputations |
Radiating or specific location w/burning, prickling, tingling, lancinating or shock-like in peripheral or central locations
Typically responds to tx: Anticonvulsants, corticosteroids, neural blockade, NSAID’s, opioids, TCA’s |

|
Patient controlled anesthetic (PCAs)
|
Max bolus dosing has a 1 or 4 hour lockout period
|

moderate to severe pain
Don't use for more than 5 days or in renal dysfunction |
|
APAP, ASA, NSAID’s, COX-2 Inhibitors, Corticosteroids, Anticonvulsants
|
have significant opioid dose-sparing properties. Dec. opioid ADE’s

|
use after you've tried NSAIDs, APAP, ASA, or Cox-2.
|
|
Opiod of choice
|
Morphine
|
|
Hydromorphone
|
Good alternative for morphine-intolerant patients or in patient that developed tolerance to other opioids
|
|
Fentanyl—
|
Good alternative for morphine-intolerant patients; Good for patients w/renal dysfunction; Short DOA
|
|
Nalbuphine—
|
Unreliable provision of adequate analgesia for moderate to severe pain (analgesic ceiling effect); Should be avoided in chronic or cancer pain
Can cause acute w/d response in patients who are chronically receiving mu-agonists |
|
Meperidine
|
Not considered 1st line opiate
Must follow dosing limitations Must not use in impaired renal or hepatic dysfunction, hx of seizures or head trauma, elderly Must be monitored for signs/symptoms of CNS excitation |
|
Avoid morphine when
|
SCr > 2 mg/dL
|
|
Meperidine use limited to
|
Treatment of post-op shivering
Prevention/treatment of rigors (from platelets or drugs) One-time pre-procedural conscious sedation for adults Anaphylactoid reactions to other opioids Unmanageable ADR’s to other opioids |
|
Meperidine
|
Pure opioid agonist; Binds to mu receptor & promotes analgesia & respiratory depression in CNS; Decreases gastric, biliary & pancreatic secretion, induces vasodilation
|
|
Meperidine Contraindications

MAOI’s, head injury, unstable/untreated thyroid condition, renal dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, hx of seizures, elderly, infants
|
|
Meperidine adverse drug effects
|
N/V, dizziness, lightheadedness, hypotension, seizures, resp. depression
|
|
Morphine
|
Pure opioid agonist; Binds to mu receptor & promotes analgesia & respiratory depression in CNS; Decreases gastric, biliary & pancreatic secretion, induces vasodilation
|
|
Morphine ADE's
|
Peripheral edema, pruritis, rash, N/V/D/C, dizziness, resp. depression, sedation
|
|
Morphine drug interactions
|
MAOI’s (resp. depression), muscle relaxants, BZD’s, barbiturates (resp. depression & additive CNS effects)
