1. Erythropoiesis - ANSWER ✔ production of red blood cells
oxygen used in tissue
Arterial oxygen pressure goes down
Erythropoiesis goes UP
.4. Stem cell stimulation goes UP
RBC formed
O2 capacity UP
Arterial oxygen pressure UP
Stimulation for erythropoietin DOWN (back to 1)
2. Erythropoiesis stimulating agents - ANSWER ✔ Stimulate bone marrow to
make RBCs
Epoetin Alfa (Epogen or Procrit)
anemia associates w/:
renal fail
, aids
3. Darbepoetin Alfa (Aranesp)
anemia associated with chronic kidney disease + dialysis pts
4. Anemia - ANSWER ✔ Disorder with too few or inefficient RBCs
SIGNS:
shortness breath
change stool color
muscle pain
fainting + fatigue
angina + HA
spleen enlarge
skin yellowing
clubbing
5. -cytic - ANSWER ✔ cell size (hypo / hyper)
6. -chromic - ANSWER ✔ HBG content (Hypo / hyper)
7. Microcytic anemia - ANSWER ✔ abnormally small RBC
EX: Fe lack, thalassemia
8. macrocytic anemia - ANSWER ✔ Large, thick RBCs
EX: folate + B12 lack
,9. Normocytic anemia - ANSWER ✔ normal size and appearance RBC
Insuff #
EX: chronic kidney disease, cancer, AI disorder
10.MAOIs - phenelzine (nardil) - ANSWER ✔ WHY: depression/anxiety
MOA: blocks monoamine oxidase which cause an increase in epinephrine,
norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin - stimulation of the CNS
ADE: hypotension, dizzy, blurred vision, constipation, NV
**relatively effective but high toxicity, hypertensive crisis: HA, stiff neck,
NV, fever
CI: avoid: avocados, cheese, wine, beer, soups, soy sauce, chocolate,
caffeine, smoke foods
11.SSRIs - fluoxetine (prozac) - ANSWER ✔ *most prescribed class
WHY: 1st line for depression/anxiety
MOA: blocks reuptake of serotonin only, takes 2-3 weeks for therapeutic
effect
ADE: sexual dysfunction, weight gain, serotonin syndrome
(fever/confusion), withdrawal syndrome
EDUCATION: therapeutic delay, warning signs of serotonin syndrome,
withdrawal syndrome, sexual side effects
12.SNRIs - venlafaxine (Effexor) - ANSWER ✔ WHY:
, MOA: decrease neuronal reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine
ADE: serotonin syndrome, HTN, tachycardia, palpitations, NV,
constipation, erectile dysfunction, urinary retention, hyperhidrosis
D-D: MAOIs, SSRIs, TCAs, serotogenic drugs, ASA, NSAIDs, anti platelet
13.benzodiazepines - lorazepam "-pam" - ANSWER ✔ WHY: sedative -
anxiety, insomnia, seizure, muscle spasm, alcohol withdrawal, panic
disorder, anesthesia
MOA: bind to GABA chloride gate receptors and enhance the natural action
of gaba, safer and lower abuse potential than barbiturates
ADE: drowsy, amnesia, paradoxical effects, respiratory depression, abuse,
teratogenic
Common benzos: diazepam (valium), lorazepam (Ativan), alprazolam
(xanax)
14.barbiturates - phenobarbital - ANSWER ✔ WHY: seizure, anesthesia
induction
MOA: directly bind to GABA chloride receptor to enhance GABA's natural
action
ADE: highly addictive
15.opioid analgesic - morphine - ANSWER ✔ WHY: suppresses pain,
anesthesia
MOA: act on opioid receptor in CNS- block release of NT's or acceptance of
signal, eurphoria and sedation
