    Study Notes

    Opioids

    • Endorphins are naturally occurring opioids.
    • Opioid receptors are located in the brain and spinal cord.
    • The main side effect of opioids is respiratory depression.
    • Naloxone is used as an antidote for opioid overdose.
    • Ketamine acts on NMDA receptors and kappa and delta receptors.

    Pain Management

    • NSAIDs work by inhibiting prostaglandins, which reduce pain.
    • Aspirin overdose can cause respiratory alkalosis.
    • GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
    • Local anesthetics are a class of drugs that block pain locally.
    • Benzodiazepines are typically administered orally.

    Pain Perception

    • Analgesia is the relief of pain without loss of consciousness.
    • The Gate Theory of pain proposes that pain is modulated by the spinal cord.
    • C fibers are responsible for transmitting chronic pain signals.
    • A delta fibers transmit acute pain signals.
    • The main purpose of nociceptor C fibers is to detect and transmit pain signals.
    • Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience.

    Pain Theories

    • The Gate Theory of pain was proposed by Melzack and Wall.
    • Local anesthetics are used to block pain locally.
    • Descending pathways inhibit pain signals.

    • The speaker is an anesthesiologist.
    • The speaker has been giving this lecture for 20 years.
    • The main function of analgesia is to relieve pain without loss of consciousness.
    • The main purpose of anesthesia is to induce a state of unconsciousness.

    Opiate Receptors

    • Opiate receptors are responsible for inhibiting pain signals.
    • Opioids play a crucial role in pain management.

    Adverse Effects

    • Some adverse side effects of opiates include respiratory depression, constipation, and nausea.
    • Strong opioids can cause drowsiness and vomiting.
    • Diamorphine or morphine are used as analgesics in anesthesia.
