what are the 1st line opioids for analgesia
morphine
hydromorphone
fentanyl
what are the equivalent doses of morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl
morphine: 10mg
hydromorphone 1.5mg
fentanyl: 0.1mg
what is the main SE of morphine
histamine release (avoid in hemodynamically unstable patients)
what is the man SE of fentanyl
muscle rigidity @ high doses
Jen is in pain and requires a IVP dose of morphine every 30 minutes what should be done
if pt needs IVP doses more often than 2 hrs give CONTINUOUS INFUSION OF OPIOID
what can be done to treat the Respiratory/CNS depression when patients use opioids for pain
naloxone 0.4mg as needed
-dilute to 10ml in 0.9% NaCl and give in 0.5ml increments
what can be done to prevent/manage physical dependence to opioids
daily analgesic interruption
systematic titration
what is PCA by proxy
when family members are administering the PCA for the pt this can lead to OD
which opioids should be avoided
meperidine
codeine
mixed opioid agonist-antagonist
what are the AE of meperidine
neuroexcitation
seizures
accumulates with repetitive dosing and can lead to renal insufficiency
what are the mixed opioid agonist-antagonist
nalbuphine
butorphenol
buprenorphine

-may elicit withdrawal symptoms
what are the NSAIDS used for treatment of pain
ketorlac
ibuprofen
naproxen
what are the AE of NSAIDS
GI bleed
renal impairment
platelet inhibition
what are the APAP used in pain use
IV - ofirmev
PO - tylenol
what are the AE of APAP drugs
liver toxicity - therefore avoid in cirrhosis patients or those with history of chronic alcohol abuse
what is the preferred method of administering opioids
IV Push or continuous infusion instead of giving on a "as needed basis"
what is the preferred opioid for analgesia in acute distress
fentanyl
what is the preferred opioid for hemodynamic or renal insufficiency
fentanyl or hydromorphone
what is the preferred opioid for scheduled intermittent therapy
morphine or hydromorphone
delerium is anxiety or agitation
agitation
pain is anxiety or agitation
agitation
hypoxia/hypotension/hypoglycemia are anxiety or agitation
agitation
drug AE are anxiety or agitation
agitation
sleep deprivation are anxiety or agitation
anxiety
what are the consequences of Anxiety/Agitation
removal of therapeutic devices
PTSD/unpleasant recall
increased O2 consumption
ventilator dysynchrony
deep sedation is typically for
severe respiratory failure
light sedation is typically for
to prevent mild anxiety or agitation
what are the drug options for sedation
BZD - midazolam, lorazepam, diazepam
Propofol
Dexmedetomidine
what are the properties of BZDs in general
sedative and hypnotic activity
promote anterograde amnesia
how is midazolam eliminated
renally
what sedative can't be given to patient suffering from renal failure
midazolam (renally eliminated)
what is the preferred agent for intermitten dosing in ongoing sedation
lorazepam
what are the SE of lorazepam
due to its PEG vehicle
-renal insufficiency, lactic acidosis, hyperosmolar state
-this occurs with prolonged infusions or high doses
what is the preferred agent when rapid awakening is needed
propofol
what are the properties of propofol
promotes amnesia
rapid onset short duration
at high doses propofol acts as a
at low doses propofol acts as a
high doses - general anesthetic
low doses - sedative/hypnotic
Jane is suffering from pain due to increase intraocular pressure what agent can be used for sedation
propfol - can treat high intraocular pressure
what sedative can also manage refractory SE
propofol
what sedative requires dedicated IV catheter
propofol
what are the SE of Propofol
Respiratory depression
Cardiovascular depression
Hypertriglyceridemia
Propofol infusion syndrome
what are signs of Propofol Infusion Syndrome
metabolic acidosis
cardiact arrest
dislipidemia
acute renal failure
rhabdomyolysis
hypotension
what dose of propofol is associated with Propofol Infusion Syndrome
>5mg/kg/hr for a duration of 48 hrs
what sedative has analgesia properties
Dexmedetomidine
what sedative has anxiolysis
dexmedetomidine
what is Dexmedetomidine FDA approved for
sedation of initially mechanically ventilated patients during treatment in the ICU for < 24 hrs
what are the SE of Dexmedetomidine
hypotension
dry mouth
bradycardia
what sedative doesn't have respiratory depression
dexmedetomidine
what sedative can be used to fascilitate weaning off of ventilator
dexmedetomidine
if patient has ACUTE AGITATION what should you give them
