Analgesia
treatment of pain
1 of 30
types of pain (2)
somatic pain, visceral pain
2 of 30
somatic pain
superficial/skin, deep from muscles joints and bones. Generally localised - x spread
3 of 30
superficial
upper layers below skin
4 of 30
Visceral pain
many causes, inflammation,xs stretch on organs, hard to localise
5 of 30
why hard to localise?
goes to areas of the brain which make sit hard to localise
6 of 30
Location of pain
level of spine where aff nerve entered
7 of 30
referred pain
pain from within organ
8 of 30
Fast pain
starts and stops quickly. localised, easy ID, only relevant to skin,
9 of 30
what type of neurones for fast pain
Asigma - there are myelinated - fast conduction
10 of 30
slow pain
aching/throbbing. occurs in superficial /deep structures
11 of 30
what type of nerve
C - unmylinated - slower conduction
12 of 30
Itching
diff from pain, unpleasnt sensation
13 of 30
Pain receptors
nociceptors
14 of 30
what are nociceptors
bare nerve endings, very abundant on skin, some are specifc to stimuli
15 of 30
TRPV1
>43 degrees
16 of 30
TRPV 2
>52 degrees
17 of 30
TRPA1
<18 degrees
18 of 30
general pain pathway involves
same as before involving the spinothalamic tract - therefore crosses over .
19 of 30
extra addition to pain pathway
RfF - reticular formation
20 of 30
reticular formation
after message reaches thalmus goes to RF, which convesy message to both ANS and S. cortex
21 of 30
what can the ANS then do
alter HR/BP etc
22 of 30
inhibitary neurone in pain pathway
releases inhib NT , therefore preventing passage of impulse to next neurone ** see diagram in notes
23 of 30
what can stimulate this inhibitray neurone
a pain stimulus, mechanoreceptors (rub it better)
24 of 30
analgesia
treatment of pain
25 of 30
Analgesia at recepto level
paracetamol/NSAIDS , they inhibit cox enzymes that produce prostaglandins - which cause sensitisation
26 of 30
at peripheral nerve level
local anaesthetic - nerve block
27 of 30
CNS level
spinal block
28 of 30
Opiates
inhibit pain pathway by inhibiting the preSN from releasing NT and conveying pain
29 of 30
Dissociatives
Ketamine
