Journal: Fentanyl depression of respiration: comparison with heroin and morphine. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2019 We propose that several factors (potency, rate of onset, lowered sensitivity to naloxone and lowered cross tolerance to heroin) combine to make fentanyl more likely to cause opioid overdose deaths than other commonly abused opioids. Lipophilic antagonists such as diprenorphine may be better antidotes than naloxone to treat fentanyl overdose.

Pacemaker-mediated-tachycardia – case report. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1469; We practiced biphasic synchronous cardioversion with 70J SEE under the anesthetic induction sequence (fentanyl and midazolam) that stopped stimulating and restored sinusal rythm...The educational issue and clinical relevance of the case is related to: - Recognition of the mechanism of producing of the rhythm disturbance (repetitive atrioventricular retrograde conduction, in a ICD carrier, can generate pacemaker-mediated-tachycardia or VA synchrony when the pacemaker detects retrograde P-wave), is not always easy for the young emergency doctors - The limited possibilities of arrhythmia interruption, in a hemodynamic unstable patient, in the pre-hospital environment. If cardioversion is opted for, it is a priori admited device magnetization and future pacemaker malfunction and, therefore, the necessity of his compulsory reprogramming - The usual medication is not an option when pacemaker-mediated-tachycardia, but medication-induced depression of inotropism may become a precipitating factor of left ventricular insufficiency - Emergency dispatchers and telemedicine reception centers should require field crews, to transmit the ECG to be interpreted by an emergency department consultant in case of rhythm disturbances occuring to ICD carriers.

Cord transection as a rare cause of respiratory failure in a drowsy patient with Parkinson's disease. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1343; Post-intubation a fentanyl infusion (35mcg/hour) was started...Additional questioning revealed his mentioning physical abuse by the carer but he had also started Quetiapine for hallucinations at that time...This case highlights a) the need for vigilance for signs of trauma with even fading bruises taken seriously and spinal precautions taken, b) the prudence of spinal precautions when drowsiness limits ability to complete a neurological examination, and c) the need to consider non-accidental injury in the vulnerable population, especially when the signs do not match the story. Clues to watch for include bradycardia that accompanies the sudden dips in the BP, that suggest neurogenic shock as a differential to infective causes.

Coma caused by multipl transdermal fentanyl application. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1334; An 78 year-old white male with lung cancer was admitted to emergency service with eight 100 mg/h fentanyl patches on his backchest. This case demonstrates the need for caution in self-administration of transdermal fentanyl patches, in particular, the dangers inherent in the application of multiple patches which can result in the release of potentially toxic, comatose and lethal doses.

Acute pain and weakness in one leg: unusual presentation of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1262; Due to the strong pain that the patient presented, we administered two doses of 50 mcg of Fentanyl, without any improvement and even worsening of the pain...Ruptured AAA was suspected, but it was considered unlikely due to the clinic and therefore he moved to his nearest center without vascular surgery but able to perform CT. Despite the usual presentation of ruptured aortic aneurysm is abdominal and / or back pain, other presentation may occur, so the diagnosis always requires a high suspicion.

MUSED: Metoxyflurane Use in Emergency Department: head to head study of metoxyflurane vs. standard of care. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1047; We will include 60 patients in this study, 30 of which will get metoxyflurane, and 30 who will get standard of care, which can be different depending on the operator, and includes hemathoma block, classic PSA with propofol or midazolam with fentanyl, parenteral nonstreroids, or some other medication for pain management...During the aplication od metoxyflurane or SoC we will also record side effects, and up to 30 minutes postprocedure. Primary aim of tis study is to show that metoxyflurane is not inferior to standard of care, in terms of change of NRS pain intensity at any moment after the medication application.

Ultra-sound guided femoral nerve block for pain mangement in femur fractures in the emergency department. () - Sep 10, 2019 - Abstract #EUSEM2019EUSEM_1004; Pin prick was done every 2 hours after confirmation of successful block and duration of the block was identified as the duration between local anesthetic injection and regaining of sensation in the dermatomal distribution of the femoral nerve,Fentanyl consumption , Adverse effects , Patients satisfaction. Results : ultrasound guided femoral nerve block (FNB) improved the analgesic regimen in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with femur fractures, when added to the standard multimodal analgesic protocol conclusion : ultrasound (US) guided femoral nerve block (FNB) by emergency physician was safe, rapid, effective, and long lasting option when added to standard analgesia in patients with femur fractures in the emergency department.

The Characteristics of Out-Patient Use of Intravenous Milrinone in the United States () - Sep 9, 2019 - Abstract #HFSA2019HFSA_235; There is geographic variability in the use of home milrinone, and the patients receiving it are relatively young. While some use of home milrinone appears to be as a bridge to advanced heart failure treatment, much appears to be related to end of life care.

Journal: Prolonged therapy with the anticonvulsant carbamazepine leads to increased plasma clearance of fentanyl. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 6, 2019 Chronic carbamazepine therapy leads to increased fentanyl clearance and decreased AUC, which may result in decreased duration of therapeutic plasma concentrations of fentanyl and an increased dose requirement. Assuming that carbamazepine does not change fentanyl pharmacodynamics, patients on chronic carbamazepine therapy may require more frequent or higher fentanyl doses to maintain therapeutic plasma concentrations.

Journal: MULTIMODAL LOW-OPIOID ANESTHESIA - A NEW APPROACH TO THE ISSUE OF ADEQUATE INTRAOPERATIVE ANALGESIA. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 3, 2019 The average dose of fentanyl, which was used for the entire period of anesthesiology support was 1,09±0.03 μg/kg/h (358,3±27,1 μg for the duration of surgery). As a result of the carried-out researches it was established, that multimodal low-opioid anesthesia, provides an adequate analgesic effect, and allows to refuse from intraoperative application of high doses of narcotic analgesics in the performance of highly traumatic operations, which is confirmed by the lack of hemodynamic and endocrine-metabolic shifts in its use.
