what are 3 drugs that decrease thermoregulatory threshold
meperidine
tramadol
dexmedetomidine
two drugs that are good for mediating pruritus caused by opioids
ondansetrone
naloxone
What kind of opioid administration route yields the most pruritus
intrathecal
neuroaxial
What kind of effect is pruritus after opioid administration
Mu receptor mediated SE
Opioids depress the respiratory centers of the brainstem, pontine, and medullary by acting on these receptors
Mu 2
How do opioids affect respirations
increase TV
decrease RR
decrease response to CO2 + hypoxia
What effect do opioids have during intubation
blunt laryngeal reflexes
blunt increased IOP
Is morphine or fentanyl a better induction agent? Why?
Fentanyl because it has anti-histamine, muscarinic, and dopaminergic properties
What affect do opioids have on the CV
Blunt SNS, Enhance PSNS
Decrease HR
Decrease BP
Decreases myocardial O2 demand
Depresses baroreceptors
Opioids can react with what to cause asystole? Treat how?
BB, Ca channel blockers

Robinol
What are demerol's effects on the heart
increase MO2 demand
decrease CO
tachycardia
What are morphine's effects on the heart
decreases HR
hypotension
histamine release
What kind of surgery is most resistant to opioids reduction of stress hormones
Coronary bypass
Receptor that causes anti-diuresis and decreased electrolyte excretion
Mu agonist
Receptor that causes diuresis and no change in electrolytes
Kappa agonist
What route and drug is most likely to cause urninary retention
Morphine
intrathecal
Opioid DOC for renal failure
Fentanyl family
How do you treat a sphincter of Odi spasm
Glucagon 2 mg
Atropine 0.2 mg
NTG 50 mcg
Naloxone
Receptors responsible for P/O N/V
Mu
Delta
Where is the chemoreceptor zone loacated
postrema -> medulla
Responsible for delayed onset resp. depression
opioid sequestration in the lungs
Onset morphine
10 min
Duration morphine
2 hours
How long does intrathecal morphine have the potential to cause resp. depression
24 hours
Conditions that will increase morphine's half life
renal failure
liver failure
elderly
Opioid that causes mydriasis

Onset meperidine
5-15 minutes
How does meperidine cause problems in persons taking MAOIs
serotonergic overactivity
When is fentanyl given during induction sequence
first. has a five minute peak
Fentanyl peak
5 minutes
Opioid with the least pharmacokinetic changes
Sufentanil
Sufentanil peak
4 minutes
Alfentanil onset
1 minute
Remifentanil peak
1 minute
Recovery from remifentanil
6-8 minutes
Opioid that is metabolized by the plasma
remifentanil
Opioid that can't be given intrathecally
remifentanil
Opioid that will not last long enough to provide post op analgesia
remifentanil
Why is meperidine a myocardial depressant
because of its local anesthetic affects
What does morphine do to the mucociliary action in the trachea
depresses
Most non-ionized opioid at physiologic pH
Alfentanil
Which opioids have low volumes of distribution
alf, su, remi
Which opioids are good infusion medications
alf, su, remi
What is the interpatient variability of opioids
5 fold
