PkPd in the Critically Ill

12/1/2018

0 Comments

 
A glance at the literature from 2010-2018

A growing body of evidence and expert reviews suggests that we should be altering our administration regimes of beta-lactam and carbapenams to accommodate an altered volume of distribution (or RRT) status of the critically ill patient in order to more effectively reach the inhibitory concentrations of drug required to kill susceptible pathogens.

Don't forget you can catch the full trials at pubmed.gov and enter the PMID within the infographic.

CERTA - OPIOID ALTERNATIVES

11/27/2018

2 Comments

 
PDF included at bottom of page for a clearer graphic (incl. 811 references!)
Fullscreen of the graphic below: here.
Dr. Sergey Motov (USA Emergency Medicine) & Dr. David Lyness (UK ICM/Anaesthetics)
UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2018
​
Taken from Dr Motov's work on a CERTA regime.
This is published in conjunction with the CERTA concept explanation here. 

We can all provide superior analgesia by using medication and techniques other than just opioid medications.
This is NOT a definitive list and in all cases, local policies and protocols should be followed. Check your local formularies.
This is NOT a prescribing guideline - it is for EDUCATIONAL information ONLY.


We do not dispute the role of opioids in many spheres of practice, including emergency medicine, ICU and anaesthetics; rather we wish to highlight the pandemic of high opioid and opiate use. There are many medications available to reduce the amount of opioids used.
​

You may find, when considering  your analgesia regimes that opioids are not always  the best options for emergency pain issues.

We would advocate the use of nerve blocks in the first instance to control acute pain, when feasible. 
  1. DO NOT mix NSAID drugs - ie) don't give two together
  2. Caution with using NSAIDs where surgery could be imminent.
  3. Caution masking escalating pain that could indicate a surgical emergency
  4. Caution with the abuse potential of some drugs such as lyrica/pregabalin
  5. When practical, we would suggest Physiotherapy, TENS and other non-pharmacological methods
  6. Make sure you know the contraindications for NSAID use & consider a PPI when prescribing them

With respect to alternatives listed for non-radicular back pain, it has been brought to our attention that a new study was presented in 2017 which showed that "diazepam has no benefit when added to naproxen vs placebo" in acute low back pain. See here.

I preface this infographic with the caveat that it is an exercise in discussion only, not an exhaustive or conclusive analysis of all systematic reviews within this time period. I have done my best to accurately analyse the trawled data - please do get in touch if you have any suggestions on improvements. I have no conflicts of interest and am not involved in any systematic reviews or trials with any organisation.
