Study Notes
Anesthesia Review - Drug Interactions and Mechanisms
-
Sodium bicarbonate: Reduces bupivacaine solubility, causing precipitation. Inactivates catecholamines.
-
Neostigmine: Increases ester local anesthetic effects (procaine, cocaine, tetracaine).
-
Etomidate: Inhibits cytochrome P450 17α hydroxylase and 11β hydroxylase, reducing cortisol and aldosterone synthesis.
-
MAO inhibitors: Increase indirect sympathomimetics (ephedrine, amphetamine) effects. Potentially cause hypertensive crises with tyramine-containing foods (aged cheese, wine). Increase direct sympathomimetics (epinephrine, norepinephrine) effects to a lesser extent. When given with meperidine, it can cause serotonin syndrome (excitation, hyperpyrexia, HTN, diaphoresis, rigidity, seizures, coma, death).
Hepatic Biotransformation
-
High extraction ratio (ER ≥ 0.7): Rate-limiting is blood flow to liver (metabolism at max). Lidocaine, Propranolol. Reduced hepatic blood flow (reduced cardiac output) and vasopressors (isoproterenol, noradrenaline) increase lidocaine concentration.
-
Low extraction ratio (ER ≤ 0.3): Rate-limiting is enzyme activity, enzyme induction can increase metabolism. Diazepam, mepivacaine, alfentanil.
-
Competitive inhibition: Midazolam and fentanyl compete with CYP3A4. Propofol inhibits CYP3A4 and reduces midazolam clearance by 37%.
Elimination
-
Ion trapping: Phenobarbital (weak acid) excretion increases in acidic urine.
-
Ion secretion: Probenecid inhibits penicillin secretion. Quinidine reduces digoxin volume of distribution and clearance.
Pharmacodynamic Interactions
-
Additive interactions: Combining drugs with similar mechanisms (rocuronium + vecuronium; 2 volatile anesthetics + nitrous oxide).
-
Antagonistic interactions: SCH + non-depolarizing muscle relaxant (NDMR); Neostigmine + NDMR; Flumazenil + benzodiazepines; Naloxone + opioid; Butorphanol + midazolam (increased sedation, less amnesia).
-
Synergistic interactions: Small doses of two drugs producing a larger effect (opioid potentiation by NSAIDs; NDMR potentiation by volatile anesthetics; aminosteroid + benzylisoquinoline NDMR).
-
Hyperkalemia; Hyperlipidemia/hypertriglyceridemia associated risks: acute refractory bradycardia, sinus arrest, asystole, cardiomyopathy, cardiac failure, hypotension, fatty liver, hepatomegaly, skeletal myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure.
Propofol
-
Increased incidence: More common in children, prolonged infusion (>48 hours), or sedation in patients with TBI, sepsis, or respiratory issues.
-
Risk factors: Pediatric age, Cumulative dose (>75 µg/kg/min; >4 mg/kg/hr), duration of infusion (>48 hrs), severe inciting illness (CNS origin/TBI, sepsis), catecholamines/corticosteroid supplementation, inadequate carbohydrate intake, subclinical mitochondrial disease.
-
Early markers: Unexplained metabolic acidosis, elevated serum lactate, elevated creatinine kinase, elevated myoglobin levels, hyperlipidemia, ECG changes (ST elevation in V1-V3).
-
Prevention: Avoid high doses, minimize infusion duration, avoid infusion in children or individuals with mitochondrial disease, adequate carbohydrate intake, avoid lipid overload, high index of suspicion-serum triglyceride 2 days post-continuous infusion.
-
Treatment: Mainly supportive: stop propofol infusion, start alternative sedation, maintain hemodynamic stability (IV crystalloids/colloids, vasopressors/inotropes, transvenous pacing), provide nutritional support (avoid additional lipids, add dextrose to IV fluids, 4-8 mg/kg/hour glucose). Renal support (dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy), maintain oxygenation.
Ketamine
-
Introduction: Phencyclidine derivative for induction, two optical isomers (S(+) and R(-)), widely used.
-
Chemistry: Phencyclidine derivative, racemic mixture.
-
Pharmacodynamics: Positive modulation of GABA receptors (lower GABA needed); allosteric agonism (high doses); disinhibitory effects (extrapyramidal pathways, myoclonus); central nervous system (decreased CMRO2, cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, increased cerebral perfusion pressure); cardiovascular (minimal, hemodynamic stability); respiratory (minimal, does not usually cause apnea, hyperventilation). endocrine (transient cortisol/aldosterone inhibition). Analgesia more potent with S+ isomer; potency differences in isomers.
-
Pharmacokinetics: Rapid onset (high lipid solubility, vasodilatation, increased drug delivery), redistribution, onset 30-60 seconds. Less protein bound; large volume of distribution; rapid hepatic biotransformation; recovery - differences in isomers; salivation/EEG suppression; apoptosis effects - differences in isomers. Inhaled agents affect.
Etomidate
-
Introduction: Phencyclidine derivative, induction of anesthesia, short-term sedation, hemodynamically unstable patients, neurosurgical procedures, trauma.
-
Mechanism of Action: Positive modulation of GABA receptors (lower GABA needed), allosteric agonism, disinhibitory effects (extrapyramidal pathways); central nervous system (decreased CMRO2, cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure); cardiovascular system (minimal, hemodynamic stability). respiratory, endocrine. adrenal suppression up to 72 hours.
-
Clinical uses: Induction (especially if poor cardiovascular reserve); neurosurgery; trauma (questionable intravascular volume status). Short term sedation for hemodynamically unstable patients.
Midazolam
- Introduction: Common short-acting benzodiazepine.
