Kane-Gill, PharmD, MS, FCCM, FCCP3, Abhijit Duggal, MD, MPH, MSc4, and Abdalla A. Ammar, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP1 Abstract The rapid spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a global pandemic. The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) presents with a spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild to critical illness requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a major complication in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. Currently, there are no recognized pharmacological therapies for COVID-19. However, a large number of COVID- 19 patients require respiratory support, with a high percentage requiring invasive ventilation. The rapid spread of the infection has led to a surge in the rate of hospitalizations and ICU admissions, which created a challenge to public health, research, and medical communities. The high demand for several therapies, including sedatives, analgesics, and paralytics, that are often utilized in the care of COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation, has created pressure on the supply chain resulting in shortages in these critical medications. This has led clinicians to develop conservation strategies and explore alternative therapies for sedation, analgesia, and paralysis in COVID-19 patients. Several of these alternative approaches have demonstrated acceptable levels of sedation, analgesia, and paralysis in different settings but they are not commonly used in the ICU. Additionally, they have unique pharmaceutical properties, limitations, and adverse effects. This narrative review summarizes the literature on alternative drug therapies for the management of sedation, analgesia, and paralysis in COVID-19 patients. Also, this document serves as a resource for clinicians in current and future respiratory illness pandemics in the setting of drug shortages.

Graduate Program in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Dr. Phillip Lerche, Advisor Dr. Richard M. Bednarski Dr. John A.E. Hubbell Copyright by Lisa Michelle Sams 2011 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an infusion of dexmedetomidine, a co-infusion of morphine-lidocaine-ketamine (MLK), and a co- infusion of dexmedetomidine-morphine-lidocaine-ketamine (alpha-MLK) on minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in dogs. The MAC of an inhalant anesthetic required to prohibit purposeful movement is a measure of anesthetic potency (Eger et al 1965). Isoflurane is the most commonly used inhalant anesthetic in veterinary practice (Lozano et al 2009), but has potent vasodilatory effects and causes a dose-dependent decrease in mean arterial pressure in anesthetized dogs (Steffey and Howland 1977). Additional drugs are used during anesthesia to decrease the inhalant anesthetic requirement, a concept referred to as balanced anesthesia. Each of the drugs we infused has a different central nervous system receptor mechanism of action. Co-infusion of MLK, as well as the infusion of each drug separately, has been shown to reduce MAC in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs (Muir et al 2003). Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, has been shown to reduce isoflurane MAC in dogs (Pascoe et al 2006).

It is also used in the treatment of depression and postoperative pain management. However, in recent years it has gained popularity as a street drug used at clubs and raves due to its hallucinogenic effects. Administration: Oral; intravenous; intramuscular; insufflation Elimination: Ketamine metabolizes by N-demethylation to Norketamine and further dehydrogenates to Dehydronorketamine. After 72 hours of a single dose, 2.3% of Ketamine is unchanged, 1.6% is Norketamine, 16.2% is Dehydronorketamine, and 80% is hydroxylated derivatives of Ketamine.1,2 Abuse Potential: An overdose can cause unconsciousness and dangerously slowed breathing. 1) R.

Abstract Obese and morbidly obese patients are a growing group of individuals that generates medical, social and economic problems worldwide. They undergo various interventions that require anesthesia and/or analgesia. Despite their healthy look, these individuals are graded at high ASA physical status, mainly because of their impaired respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, and the metabolic changes their body undergoes. Opioids are the default drugs for perioperative analgesia. Nevertheless, their use has reached a frightening epidemic-like condition worldwide.

  • An Experimental Approach to Detect the Presence of the Date Rape Drug Ketamine in Non-Biological Samples”
    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 9, Issue 6 Ver. II (Jun. 2015), PP 31-35 www.iosrjournals.org “An Experimental Approach to Detect the Presence of the Date Rape Drug Ketamine in Non-Biological Samples” Ruchi Pandey I. Introduction 1.1 What Is Ketamine Ketamine is a drug used in human and veterinary medicine, primarily for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, usually in combination with a sedative. Other uses include sedation in intensive care, analgesia (particularly in emergency medicine), and treatment of bronchospasm. Ketamine has a wide range of effects in humans, including analgesia, anesthesia,hallucinations, elevated blood pressure, and bronchodilation (Peck, 2008). Like other drugs of its class, such as tiletamine and phencyclidine (PCP), ketamine induces a state referred to as "dissociative anesthesia (Bergman, 1999) and is used as a recreational drug( Table 1). Table 1: Ketamine KETAMINE Systematic IUPAC Name (RS)-2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone Chemical formula C13H16ClNO Molecular mass 237.725 g/mol 1.2 Stucture Of Ketamine Ketamine is a chiral compound. Most pharmaceutical preparations of ketamine are racemic; however, some brands reportedly have (mostly undocumented) differences in their enantiomeric proportions. The more active enantiomer, (S)-ketamine, is also available for medical use under the brand name Ketanest S(Krüger, 1998) (Figure 1).

  • Role of Cytochrome P4502B6 Polymorphisms in Ketamine Metabolism and Clearance
    Role of Cytochrome P4502B6 Polymorphisms in Ketamine Metabolism and Clearance Lesley K. Rao, M.D., Alicia M. Flaker, A.S., Christina C. Friedel, B.S., Evan D. Kharasch, M.D., Ph.D. ABSTRACT Background: At therapeutic concentrations, cytochrome P4502B6 (CYP2B6) is the major P450 isoform catalyzing hepatic ketamine N-demethylation to norketamine in vitro. The CYP2B6 gene is highly polymorphic. The most common variant allele, CYP2B6*6, is associated with diminished hepatic CYP2B6 expression and catalytic activity compared with wild-type CYP2B6*1/*1. CYP2B6.6, the protein encoded by the CYP2B6*6 allele, and liver microsomes from CYP2B6*6 carriers had diminished ketamine metabolism in vitro. This investigation tested whether humans with the CYP2B6*6 allele would have Downloaded from http://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article-pdf/125/6/1103/487909/20161200_0-00014.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 decreased clinical ketamine metabolism and clearance. Methods: Thirty volunteers with CYP2B6*1/*1, *1/*6, or *6/*6 genotypes (n = 10 each) received a subsedating dose of oral ketamine. Plasma and urine concentrations of ketamine and the major CYP2B6-dependent metabolites were determined by mass spectrometry. Subjects’ self-assessment of ketamine effects were also recorded. The primary outcome was ketamine N-demethylation, measured as the plasma norketamine/ketamine area under the curve ratio. Secondary outcomes included plasma ketamine enantiomer and metabolite area under the plasma concentration–time curve, maximum concentrations, apparent oral clearance, and metabolite formation clearances. Results: There was no significant difference between CYP2B6 genotypes in ketamine metabolism or any of the secondary outcome measures. Subjective self-assessment did reveal some differences in energy and level of awareness among subjects.
