PREMEDICATIONS
DEFINITION
• Administration of drugs before induction of Anaesthesia.
• These medications neither part of the surgical patient’s
usual medical regimen nor are they part of the anaesthetic.
• They are given to reduce anxiety, control of pain, decrease
the risk of aspiration pneumonitis and lower the incidence
of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
.
PRIMARY GOALS
• Anxiolysis & sedation
• Analgesia
• Amnesia
• Increase in gastric fluid pH and decrease in
gastric fluid volume
• Antisialogogue effect
• Decrease SNS reflex response
• Hemodynamic stability
• Decrease in anaesthetic requirement
SECONDARY GOALS
• Facilitation of induction of anaesthesia
• Facilitation of Postoperative analgesia
• Prevention of post operative nausea and vomiting
SEDATION
• A state of calmness, relaxation or sleepiness caused by
certain drugs.
• Sedation may be used to help relieve anxiety during
medical or surgical procedures.
ANALGESIA
• Insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness.
ANXIOLYSIS
• A level of sedation in which a person is very relaxed and
may be awake. The person is able to answer questions.
SEDOANALGESIA
• Sedoanalgesia is a state which allows
patients to tolerate painful procedures
while maintaining adequate
cardiorespiratory function and the
ability to respond purposefully to verbal
commands and/or tactile stimulation.
Complications from pain and anxiety
 Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system and release of humoral factors →
increased heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen consumption →
myocardial ischemia or infarction
 Altered humoral response can lead to hypercoagulability as a result of increased
level of factor VIII, fibrinogen, platelet activity, and inhibition of fibrinolysis
 Stress hormones also produce insulin resistance, increased metabolic rate, and
protein catabolism
 Immunosuppression with reduction in number and function of lymphocytes and
granulocytes
 Psychological disturbances - memories of vivid nightmares, hallucinations, and
paranoid delusions
PREMPTIVE ANALGESIA
 Definitions of Preemptive Analgesia
 Three different definitions have been used as the basis
for the recent clinical trials.
Preemptive analgesia has been defined as treatment that:
(1) starts before surgery;
(2) prevents the establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional
injury (covers only the period of surgery);
(3) prevents the establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional
and inflammatory injuries (covers the period of surgery and the initial
postoperative period).

•
• It has weak µ antagonist and more marked ƙ antagonist actions.
• Profilt of action is similar to morphine; important differences are:
• 1. analgesia caused by pentazocine is primarily spinal(ƙ1) and has a different
character than that caused by morphine.
parenterally 30 mg pentazocine = 10 mg morphine; but the ceilling effect
is lower i.e. at higher doses proportionate increase in analgesia does not
occur.
• 2. Sedation and respiratory depression is 1/3 to 1/2 of morphine and has
lower ceilling effect, does not increase much beyond 60 mg dose.
• 3. Tachycardia and rise in BP are produced at higher doses due to sympathetic
stimulation. This may increase cardiac work; better avoided in coronary
ischemia and myocardial infraction
• Biliary spasm and constipation are less severe.
• Vomiting is less frequent . Other side effects vomiting and lightheadedness.
• Psychomimetic effects can occur.

PREMEDICATION FOR CHILDREN
The preoperative period is a stressful time for children specially
in the age group of 2-6 years1
.
 It has been observed that anxiety and fear in
children lead to
 Preoperatively
o increased catecholamine levels in the
body, thereby leading to, tachycardia,
hypertension, tachypnea
o increased difficulty in gaining intravenous
access,
o separation from parents and
o induction of anaesthesia.
 Postoperatively predisposes children to
o sleep disturbances and
o behavioural changes.
An ideal premedicant
relieves anxiety
calms children down
decreases their fear
makes induction smooth
rapid recovery
provides good patient
and parent acceptance
One estimate suggests that 60% of children experience
significant anxiety before anaesthesia induction and
surgery, and this is a global concern for health care
providers2.
Many drugs tried for premedication in children, oral
trichlorofos, opioids, ketamine etc but have side effects
like nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression3.
Intranasal route of drug administration is preferred as it is
 noninvasive
 easily administered
 rapid onset
 higher bioavailability
 Bypass first pass hepatic metabolism
 Circumvent blood brain barrier ( via olfactory region of central nervous
system
 Well tolerability
 No pungency and unpleasant taste
 Does not require patient cooperation
 avoids problem of volume retention
 Examples
 midazolam 0.2 mg/kg ( preservative free )
 Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg ( preservative free )
administered by anaesthesiologist 30 minutes prior to surgery via Mucosal
Atomisation Device intranasally.
Scoring system
 Drug acceptance ( compliance score )
 Four point sedation score
 Parental separation scores
 Acceptance to mask (four point score )
Atomisation of drug intranasally by Mucosal
Atomisation Device (MAD) produces
 fine mist of soluble medication particles (30-
100 micron in diameter) which is associated
with less discomfort during administration
 increase direct drug absorption into blood
stream from nasal mucosa.
Can be given in any position
Soft, conical plug on tip forms a seal with nostril,
preventing expulsion of drug.
Large volumes or low concentration may lead to failure
because drug cannot be absorbed in enough quantity
and may run off out of the nose. Midazolam is bitter in
taste and if it is diluted, drug may escape down back of
the throat, so we used more concentrated form of
Midazolam.
STAT PEARLS
 The major objectives of preanesthetic medication are to
(1) allay anxiety,
(2) block autonomic (vagal) reflexes,
(3) reduce airway secretions,
(4) produce amnesia,
(5) provide prophylaxis against pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents,
(6) facilitate the induction of anesthesia, and
(7) if necessary, provide analgesia. Premedication may also decrease the stress
response to anesthesia and prevent cardiac arrhythmias.

    PREMEDICATIONS DEFINITION • Administration ofdrugs before induction of Anaesthesia. • These medications neither part of the surgical patient’s usual medical regimen nor are they part of the anaesthetic. • They are given to reduce anxiety, control of pain, decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonitis and lower the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. .
  • 3.
    PRIMARY GOALS • Anxiolysis& sedation • Analgesia • Amnesia • Increase in gastric fluid pH and decrease in gastric fluid volume • Antisialogogue effect • Decrease SNS reflex response • Hemodynamic stability • Decrease in anaesthetic requirement
  • 4.
    SECONDARY GOALS • Facilitationof induction of anaesthesia • Facilitation of Postoperative analgesia • Prevention of post operative nausea and vomiting
  • 5.
    SEDATION • A stateof calmness, relaxation or sleepiness caused by certain drugs. • Sedation may be used to help relieve anxiety during medical or surgical procedures. ANALGESIA • Insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness. ANXIOLYSIS • A level of sedation in which a person is very relaxed and may be awake. The person is able to answer questions.
  • 6.
    SEDOANALGESIA • Sedoanalgesia isa state which allows patients to tolerate painful procedures while maintaining adequate cardiorespiratory function and the ability to respond purposefully to verbal commands and/or tactile stimulation.
  • 7.
    Complications from painand anxiety  Stimulation of the autonomic nervous system and release of humoral factors → increased heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen consumption → myocardial ischemia or infarction  Altered humoral response can lead to hypercoagulability as a result of increased level of factor VIII, fibrinogen, platelet activity, and inhibition of fibrinolysis  Stress hormones also produce insulin resistance, increased metabolic rate, and protein catabolism  Immunosuppression with reduction in number and function of lymphocytes and granulocytes  Psychological disturbances - memories of vivid nightmares, hallucinations, and paranoid delusions
  • 8.
    PREMPTIVE ANALGESIA  Definitionsof Preemptive Analgesia  Three different definitions have been used as the basis for the recent clinical trials. Preemptive analgesia has been defined as treatment that: (1) starts before surgery; (2) prevents the establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional injury (covers only the period of surgery); (3) prevents the establishment of central sensitization caused by incisional and inflammatory injuries (covers the period of surgery and the initial postoperative period).

    Pentazocine • • It hasweak µ antagonist and more marked ƙ antagonist actions. • Profilt of action is similar to morphine; important differences are: • 1. analgesia caused by pentazocine is primarily spinal(ƙ1) and has a different character than that caused by morphine. parenterally 30 mg pentazocine = 10 mg morphine; but the ceilling effect is lower i.e. at higher doses proportionate increase in analgesia does not occur. • 2. Sedation and respiratory depression is 1/3 to 1/2 of morphine and has lower ceilling effect, does not increase much beyond 60 mg dose. • 3. Tachycardia and rise in BP are produced at higher doses due to sympathetic stimulation. This may increase cardiac work; better avoided in coronary ischemia and myocardial infraction • Biliary spasm and constipation are less severe. • Vomiting is less frequent . Other side effects vomiting and lightheadedness. • Psychomimetic effects can occur.
  • 57.
    PHARMACOKINETICS Oral bioavailabilty is20% due to significant first pass metabolism in liver. Elimination half life 2 hrs. metabolites excreted mainly via kidneys.

    PREMEDICATION FOR CHILDREN Thepreoperative period is a stressful time for children specially in the age group of 2-6 years1 .  It has been observed that anxiety and fear in children lead to  Preoperatively o increased catecholamine levels in the body, thereby leading to, tachycardia, hypertension, tachypnea o increased difficulty in gaining intravenous access, o separation from parents and o induction of anaesthesia.  Postoperatively predisposes children to o sleep disturbances and o behavioural changes.
  • 123.
    An ideal premedicant relievesanxiety calms children down decreases their fear makes induction smooth rapid recovery provides good patient and parent acceptance One estimate suggests that 60% of children experience significant anxiety before anaesthesia induction and surgery, and this is a global concern for health care providers2. Many drugs tried for premedication in children, oral trichlorofos, opioids, ketamine etc but have side effects like nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression3.

    Scoring system  Drugacceptance ( compliance score )  Four point sedation score  Parental separation scores  Acceptance to mask (four point score )
  • 126.
    Atomisation of drugintranasally by Mucosal Atomisation Device (MAD) produces  fine mist of soluble medication particles (30- 100 micron in diameter) which is associated with less discomfort during administration  increase direct drug absorption into blood stream from nasal mucosa. Can be given in any position Soft, conical plug on tip forms a seal with nostril, preventing expulsion of drug. Large volumes or low concentration may lead to failure because drug cannot be absorbed in enough quantity and may run off out of the nose. Midazolam is bitter in taste and if it is diluted, drug may escape down back of the throat, so we used more concentrated form of Midazolam.

    STAT PEARLS  Themajor objectives of preanesthetic medication are to (1) allay anxiety, (2) block autonomic (vagal) reflexes, (3) reduce airway secretions, (4) produce amnesia, (5) provide prophylaxis against pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, (6) facilitate the induction of anesthesia, and (7) if necessary, provide analgesia. Premedication may also decrease the stress response to anesthesia and prevent cardiac arrhythmias.
