|
part of the DONT...
airway protention and asisted ventilation lead to successful recovery for most paitents with acute drug induced coma... |
|
In regards to the O of DONT
you must continusly monitor airway patency and protective reflexes....b/c |
as one continues to absorb a drug it cna lead to abrupt changes in the level of unconsicouness and increaeed risk of acute pulmonary aspiration of gastric contens... or res. arrest.
|
|
Does a pulse oximeter guage ventilation...
|
no, it esitmates oxygen content... it also does not accurately estimate oxygen saturation in patients with CO poisning.. you need a Cooximetry..
|
|
Naloxone
|
part of DONT.. it is based on the premise that patients with depressed airway reflexes or hypoventilation may respond ot reversla agents such as naloxone.. or flumazenil
|
|
Naloxone conintues to be used widely as an empiric antidoet for any patient with even a vague supsicin of
|
opiate intoxication.
|
|
how come you dont want to use Flumanezil for the N of DONT

|
|
Volume of disr. (Vd)
|
a measure of the apparent space that a dose of drug would distribue into if the congentratoin of the durg was equal thoughout that volume
|
|
the Vd is increased for..
|
fat soulbe agetns.. since it is able to cross many membranes and enter many compartments
|
|
a very large Vd reflects that
|
most of the drug is not in the plamsa... Vd>1L/kg that is large... thus not good for hemodyalsis.

DOES NOT HAVE A NORMOGRAM (WHERE A SINGLE LEVEL CAN ACCURTLY REFECT TOXCIITY IF WAS ACUTE EXPOSURE) THE PROBMLEM WITH PLASMA SAILICATY [] IS THAT THE LEVEL CAN BEGIN TO DECREASE WHILE THE PATIENT IS GETTING WORSE |
|
WHATS 2 THINGS YOU MUST ASSCESS IN SALICALY TOXCIITY
|
1. SALICIALTYE LEVEL
2. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS AT THE SAME TIME THE PREMISE IS THAT LEVELS MAY DECREAE B/C IT IS EITHER BEING ELMINATED OR B/C IT IS ENTERING THE CENTRLA COMPARTMENT IE BRAIN OR OTHER TISSUES THUS THE PTS SYMPOTSM ARE WORSEING. |

IN Regards to Fe tox Dist.
|
total iron binding capcity may be altered after acute overdose but it should not be used as indicator of toxicity...
free iron rapidly diffused into cells and tissues ESPCIALLY THE LIVER. TX IS MOT EFFECTIVE IF A CHELATION IS PROVIDED PRIOR TO DISTRIB INTO TISSUES |
|
IN REARGDS TO FE TOX ELMINATION.
|
Deferoxamine.. a specific chelator for acute iron overdose...
|
|
IN THE PRESCENCE OF FERIC IRON DEFEROXAMINE FORMS A COMPLEX CALLED..
|
FERRIOXAMINE WHICH IS EXCRETTEDN BY THE KIDNEYS..
|
|
DEFEROXAMINE CHELATES..
|
FREE IRON AND IRON TRANSPORTED B/W TRNAFERRITIN AND FERRTIN, BUT NOT THE FE PRESENT IN HgB, Hemosiderin or ferrtin.
|
|
what are the indications for the treament of Deferoxamine...
|
Met. acidosis
repetive Vomiting, toxic app. lethary Gi bleeding or signs of shock. hypotension give IV |
|
CO poisoning
|
it is the most common casue of toxic death excpet for alchool
it reulst for combustion and smoke inhlaltion. |
|
what is the most common misdais of CO
|
viral illness
|
|
consdier Co poising when
|
a group comes in wiht the same sympotms
|
|
why do you get met. acidois in CO poisning
|
b/c of hypoxica, thus get lactate formation.
|
|
whats the pathophys of CO posining..
|
it binds to hb 200-250 times more avidly than that of oxygen.
it shigs oxyhemoblgin curve to the left. thus decreaseing oxygen unloading. binds to cytochorme oxidase.. cells can not use oxygen. |
|
you get serous toxicity when carbosyhembogling is >
|
25%w
|
|
whats key in looking at CO levels
|
that levels do not corrlate with toxciity.. patients comatose du to Co can have very low levels after the exposure
|
|
CarboxyHb levels are determeined by a
|
co-oximeter.
|
|
How do you treat CO poisning.
|
Oxygen.. and remove patietn from the exposin envirmonemtn.
|
|
in regards to CN toxciity
|
it is rapidly distrubed to RBC and tissues.. and detoxifactoin occurs via the combination of CN with Sulfur to form Thiocynate.. and thiocynate is harmless and renally eliminated.
|
|
What is the pathy phys of CN
|
CN has a high affinty for metals.. and its most siginifacnt effect is casued by binding to ferric iron of Mito cyto. oxidase .. this is thee same blook seen above with CO...
the body ability to use oxygen is very rapidly stopped and the body shifts to anaeroic met. and a very rapid lactic acidosis |
|
how do diagnosise CN
|
reconzide the situatoin.. jeweler or labrotry worker..
Artereial blood gass.. see severe met. acidosis b/c of lactate |
|
how to treat Cn
|
if given orally Charcoal
high flow oxygen Cyanide kit.... |
|
what the cynadie kit
|
two nitrates
... amyl nitrate for inalif or sodium nitrate for Iv admin IV sodum thiosulfate |
|
when do you use nitrates for CN posinng ...
|
only use on symptomatic patients b.c it has its own toxicity..
the theoritcal mech is... nitrates oxidize Fe Hb to Fe 3 and methhb avidly binds Cn thus rmoving CN form the Cirulatoin. |
|
How does Sodium thiosulfate work... in regards to CN poisning.
|
it increases the detoxifcation rate of Cn b donating a sulfur molecule to the enzyme Rhodanase which catalyzes the formatoin of less toxic thiocynate
|
|
What are the big three alcholis
|
Ethylen Glycol
Isopropanol Methanol... |
|
What is the acute toxciity of the alcohols..
|
intially CNS toxciity.. Intoxicated...
|
|
whats more intoxicating IPA, EG, ME
|
IPA
|
|
EG is rapidly metabloized to...
|
calcium oxlate which precipitates in the kidneys and other vital organs to produce direct toxciity
|
|
ME produes the classic
|
Snow storm visual changes in the context of N/V and met. acidosi
|
|
which alcohol does not give you Metablic acidosis
|
IPA, but it does give osmolar gap...
|
|
if a pt comes in with sigle digit HCO3 leves and has sever met. acidoss and is not DKA must be considered to have
|
EG or ME.. but CN can casue this as well
|
|
IN regards to Alchol tox

|
MET.IN REGARDS TO ALCHO TOX
|
THE metbolsim of alchols occurs in a serous of steps that involoe alchol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogensase.
|
|
EG and its met
|
glycolic acid
glyoxylic acid oxalic acid all contr. to its anion gap |
|
ME and its mets
|
formate.. causes anion gap and ocular toxciity
|
|
Isopropanol and its met
|
converted to acetone and has not anion gap......
|
|
Fomepizole
|
this inhibits alcoohl dehydrogenase therefore stopping the conversoin of toxic alocholol to tis toxic met.
|
|
Folinic acid
|
it enchances the met. of folate in ME toxciity
|
|
Thiamine, pyridoxine, Mg
|

|
|
what are the mood modfing amphet..
|
MDMA
MDA MDEA |
|
amphetamines and its derivatives are all structally based on what structure..
|
phenylethylamine..
they are weak bases |
|
what is the patho phys of aphe
|
Direct Apha agonist
Decrease the reuptake of NE and DA |
|
whats different in regards to the mood enhancin amphet
|
they can release sertonin and block its reuptake,,, thus may cause sertonin syndrome (Rigiid hyperreflex, and hyperprexia)
|
|
What is the rebound phase..
|
this is regards the amphetimine.. it is a phase of prolonged sleep and voracoious eating
|
|
whats the treament of amphye toxicity
|
Charcoal
Alkalin urine ? |
|
why not use Acid urine, in tx of amphem since it is a weak base..
|
b/c it also inreases myoglobin precipatoin, thus if rhabodyolyis is present it can increase renal failure..
|
|
the tertiary amines in TCA are more potent inhibiros of ..
|
5HT reuptake
|
|
the seconday amines of TCA are more potent inhiotrs of
|

|
|
What is the effect of TCA
|
amine reuptake inhibition
AntiCholin effet Alph Blocking effect.. hyopten Quinidine like effect.. cardiac dist. and hypotension GABA INHIB.. RES. FOR SEIZURES |
|
Quinidine like effect of TCA is due to
|
membrane depressant effects on Na channels of the distal conduction system that cuases cardiac conduction dist. and hypotne.
