  1. 1HCL secretionsecreted by parietal cells in the stomach
  2. 2Drugs which reduce acidantacids
    H2 receptor antagonists
    Proton pump inhibitors
  3. 3Antacidsalkali to neutralise effect of acid
    good for short term management of minor symptoms
    not useful for ulcer healing
  4. 4Antacids adverse effectsconstipation, diarrhoea
  5. 5H2 receptor antagonists mechanism of actionBlock H2 receptor, 90% reduction in HCL secretion, e.g. ranitidine
  6. 6H2 receptor antagonist adverse effectsvery few, and well tolerated
  7. 7Proton pump inhibitors mechanism of actionblocks acid secretion via proton pump e.g. omeprazole, pantoprazole
  8. 8Proton pump inhibitor adverse effectsinhibit P450, drug interactions,
    long term: increase risk of pneumonia and osteoporosis, B12 malabsorption
  9. 9HCL secretion stimulated byGastrin, histamine, acetylcholine
  10. 10Gastrin mechanism of actionacts on receptors to cause release of histamine and parietal cell influx of Ca to increase HCL
  11. 11Ach mechanism of actionacts on muscarinic receptors and parietal cells to increase HCL secretion
  12. 12Histamine mechanism of actionacts on H2 receptors on parietal cells to increase HCL secretion
  13. 13Vomiting nausea CTZChemoreceptor trigger zone, vomiting centre, outside blood-brain barrier
  14. 14Drugs used to treat vomiting and nausea: D2 receptor antagonist (dopamine) Mechanism of action:acts in CTZ to prevent vomiting reflex, peripherally increase gut motility
    e.g. metoclopramide
  15. 15D2 receptor antagonist adverse effectsblocks CNS receptors, fatigue, motor restlessness
  16. 16Drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting: Histamine (H1) antagonists mechanism of action:blocks H1 receptors in vomiting centre
    e.g. promethazine
  17. 17H1 receptor antagonist adverse effectsBlocks CNS receptors, fatigue, dry mouth, constipation
  18. 18Drugs used to treat vomiting and nausea: 5HT3 antagonists Mechanism of action:particularly effective for prevention and treatment of post-operative and chemotherapy induced vomiting.
    e.g. ondansetron, tropisetron
  19. 195HT3 antagonists adverse effectsconstipation, diarrhea, headache
  20. 20Drugs that target the GITGastric secretion: HCL and pepsinogen secretion
    Vomiting (nausea): in response to ingestion of toxic substances, unwanted side effects
  21. 21Local anaesthesiareversible loss of sensation in a localised area
  22. 22General anesthesialoss of sensation and loss and consciousness
  23. 23Local anaesthesia desirable properties:sufficient duration of action
    low systemic toxicity at effective concentrations
    quick onset
    reversible
  24. 24LA mechanism of action:blocks NA channels, halts nerve action potentials, small fibres first, large fibres last. reverse order for recovery.
  25. 252 types of LA propertiesester: cocaine, procaine, short duration of action
    Amide: lignocaine, bupivacaine, long duration of action
    ester= reactive metabolite= allergy and hypersensitivity
  26. 26Administration of LA routestopical, infiltration, nerve block, spinal, epidural, different onset and duration of action
  27. 27LA duration of actionincrease with vasoconstrictor (e.g. adrenaline), increase due to contact with nerve, decrease rate of absorption
  28. 28LA adverse effectscardiovascular, hypersensitivity, CNS (seizures/coma), treat acute toxicity by giving respiratory assistance, drugs to control seizures (diazepam)
    drugs to control hypotension (adrenaline)
  29. 29General anaesthetics desirable properties:analgesia
    amnesia
    loss of consciousness
    inhibition of sensory and autonomic reflexes
  30. 30GA desirable propertiesuse combination of drugs to achieve balanced anaesthesia
  31. 314 stages of anaesthesia1. analgesia= conscious but not drowsy, without amnesia
    2. delirium= amnesic, irregular respiration
    3. surgical anaesthesia = re-establishment of regular breathing
    4. medullary paralysis = severe depression of medulla, require circulatory and respiratory support
  32. 32GA mechanism of actionnerve block, increase inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters
  33. 33Inhalational GA agents mechanism of actionPK uptake and distribution from lungs to blood to CNS:
    depends on solubility, conc in inspired air, ventilation rate, and pulmonary blood flow
  34. 34Types of inhalational agents GAGaseous: nitrous oxide
    volatile liquid: halothane, enflurane, isoflurane
  35. 35GA: inhalation agents: solubility indicatorslipid solubility: determines potency
    aqueous solubility: determines rate of induction and recovery
  36. 36Inhalation agentsprovide controlled anaesthesia
  37. 37Nitrous oxide advantages/disadvantagesadvantages: non-flammable, rapid induction, no muscle relaxant activity
    disadvantages: low potency, no surgical anaesthesia, can cause decrease in RBC
  38. 38Halothane advantages and disadvantagesmoderately potent
    disadvantages: little analgesia and muscle relaxation, resp depression, hypotension, hypoxemia
  39. 39Enflurane advantages and disadvantagesfast induction and recovery
    Disadvantages: may cause seizures, potential renal toxicity
  40. 40Intravenous (IV) agents GA:induce anaesthesia, hypnosis, analgesia, muscle relaxation, control of autonomic reflexes
  41. 41IV agents GA: advantages/disadvantagesadvantages: rapid onset, short duration, no resp irritation
    Disadvantages: inability controlling depth, severe resp and cardiovascular depression
  42. 42Other agents GA used in combination muscarinic receptor antagonist: mechanism of action:limit bronchial and salivary secretion
    e.g. atropine
  43. 43Other agents: neuromuscular blockers mechanism of actionprevent reflex movement and paralysis of skeletal muscles
    e.g.suxamethonium
  44. 44Other agents: anxiolytics mechanism of actiondecrease anxiety
    e.g. diazepam
  45. 45Other agents: opioids mechanism of actionanalgesia, sedation
    e.g. morphine
  46. 46Other agents antipsychotics mechanism of actiondecrease vomiting, cause sedation
    e.g. droperidol
  47. 47GA overall goalbalanced anaesthesia
    induction (IV)
    maintenance (inhalation)
    muscle relaxation
    analgesia
