Special Episode - Antivirals in COVID19

In this special episode we provide a brief rundown of the current antiviral treatments being trialled in critically ill COVID19 patients. We look at some of the (very) recent studies as well as previous research conducted during the original SARS outbreak in 2002, which is definitely of relevance due to the similarities in the mechanisms of entry and replication of SARS-CoV-2 compared with SARS-CoV. I repeatedly talk about the Internet Book of Critical Care source in this podcast, you can access it here: https://emcrit.org/ibcc/COVID19/ [https://emcrit.org/ibcc/COVID19/] They also have a podcast I would very highly recommend listening in to.

episode NSAIDs and Aspirin artwork
NSAIDs and Aspirin

In this episode we discuss the Arachidonic Acid pathway, and how steroids and more specifically non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work to limit inflammation and pain. We also discuss the special effects of aspirin as an anti-platelet agent, and the only NSAID that decreases cardiovascular risk rather than increasing.

episode Analgesia, Opioids and the WHO Pain Ladder artwork
Analgesia, Opioids and the WHO Pain Ladder

Buckle up, this is a big one! (with a long intro, sorry about that). In this episode we scrape the surface on the complicated world of pain management. This podcast is just a brief overview, including paracetamol/acetaminophen, opioids, gabapentinoids, and adjuvants. This podcast is meant to complement further teaching on pain pathways/pathophysiology, pain management, and substance use disorders. The field is very complicated, and we can't cover it all in one podcast! This episode also links in to the next podcast in the series on NSAIDs and Aspirin. There were 3 things I forgot to elaborate on in the podcast whilst trying to keep it as short as possible 1. Morphine (and many other opioids) are renally cleared. In patient with poor renal function (eg. elderly with CKD, or people with AKI) morphine must be dose adjusted! Opioids are notorious for precipitating delirium in the elderly populations especially if they aren't dose adjusted, and this can also lead to overdose. 2. Gabapentinoids work through Ca2+ Channels in the ascending pathway. The reason this is important is calcium is used to trigger degranulation of neurotransmitter into the synapse - therefore blocking its influx prevents transmission of nociceptive signals via the ascending pathway. 3. Opioids are a common source of nausea! Some are more nauseating than others (Tramadol being notorious for it), check out our previous episode on antiemetics for more info. The show notes can be accessed for free at https://medtutes.wordpress.com/podcasts [https://medtutes.wordpress.com/podcasts/] We also reference an article on Tox and Hound, accessible at https://emcrit.org/toxhound/mouddisorder [https://emcrit.org/toxhound/mouddisorder/] The EM Cases podcast episode that inspired this topic is accessible at https://emergencymedicinecases.com/drugs-that-work-analgesics [https://emergencymedicinecases.com/drugs-that-work-analgesics/] More content coming soon.
