Study Notes
Skin-Related Adverse Effects of NSAIDs
- Painful rash, blistering, and detachment of skin and membranes are possible side effects.
- Severe skin reactions include Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
- Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) can also occur with certain drugs.
Administration Guidelines for NSAIDs
- Take orally with food, milk, or water to minimize gastric irritation.
- Do not crush or chew enteric-coated or sustained-release formulations.
- Alcohol consumption is discouraged due to potential interactions.
Opioid Receptors and Their Functions
- Endogenous opioid peptides are distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues.
- Mu receptors are primarily responsible for analgesia and sedation, while kappa receptors have a minor role.
- Notable effects include cough suppression, nausea, orthostatic hypotension, miosis, and decreased GI mobility.
Pain Management Objectives
- Differentiate types of pain: acute (surgery, trauma) vs. chronic (nerve issues, cancer).
- Compare various classes of pain medications and their roles in treatment.
- Emphasize the need for appropriate patient education on medication use and pain management.
Understanding Pain
- Pain is a subjective experience defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain.
- Causes of pain include surgery, injury, infection, and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.
Types of Pain
- Acute pain often arises from surgical procedures or trauma, typically nociceptive in nature.
- Chronic pain can arise from changes in nerve function and may be nociceptive or neuropathic.
Acetaminophen Characteristics
- Acetaminophen weakly inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 in the CNS, lacking anti-inflammatory properties.
- It is generally safe regarding gastric irritation and renal impairment compared to NSAIDs.
Alcohol and Acetaminophen Interaction
- Chronic alcohol use depletes glutathione, increasing the risk of liver toxicity from acetaminophen overdose.
- Overdose symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and can lead to hepatic failure.
Adverse Effects of Acetaminophen
- Doses exceeding 4000 mg/day can result in liver injury, especially with concurrent alcohol use.
- Potential for anaphylaxis and requires gradual withdrawal from long-term use.
Understanding Dependency and Misuse
- Physical dependence differs from addiction; physical dependence alone does not indicate misuse.
- Opioid use disorder is characterized by chronic disease patterns of substance pursuit for rewards.
Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA)
- PCA allows patients to self-administer pain medication, enhancing recovery post-surgery.
- Devices are programmed for preset dosages with lock-out periods to prevent overdose.
Patient Education for Pain Management
- Advise against increasing medication dosages without consultation and highlight the importance of gradual discontinuation for long-term use.
