C. Importance of volume of distribution
28
Importance of volume of distribution The volume of distribution (V D ) is the theoretical volume into which a drug is distributedThe volume of distribution (V D ) is the theoretical volume into which a drug is distributed Some drugs will have V D values exceeding the volume of total body water (0.6 L/kg) because they are extensively bound to, or stored in, tissue sitesSome drugs will have V D values exceeding the volume of total body water (0.6 L/kg) because they are extensively bound to, or stored in, tissue sites
29
Volume of distribution (Vd) A calculated number - not real = amt. of drug / plasma conc. = mg/kg / mg/L = L/kgA calculated number - not real = amt. of drug / plasma conc. = mg/kg / mg/L = L/kg Total body water = 0.6 L/kgTotal body water = 0.6 L/kg ECF = 0.25 L/kgECF = 0.25 L/kg Blood or plasma = 0.07 L/kgBlood or plasma = 0.07 L/kg
30
A high V D, the amount of drug present in the blood represents only a small fraction of the total body loadA high V D, the amount of drug present in the blood represents only a small fraction of the total body load Additional drug will enter the blood from tissue stores, sometimes causing a “rebound” of the toxic manifestationsAdditional drug will enter the blood from tissue stores, sometimes causing a “rebound” of the toxic manifestations

I. Anticonvulsants Phenytoin (MW 252) Nystagmus and ataxia occur at serum values >20 and 30 mg/mL (79 and 119 mmol/L), respectively 90% protein bound, V D of 0.64 L/kg. Removed poorly by HD, but is removed moderately well by HP
87
I. Anticonvulsants Sodium valproate (MW 166) Small V D, metabolized by liver, and has significant protein bindingSmall V D, metabolized by liver, and has significant protein binding High-flux hemodialysis with or without hemoperfusion should be considered when there is coma, severe liver dysfunction, or other organ failureHigh-flux hemodialysis with or without hemoperfusion should be considered when there is coma, severe liver dysfunction, or other organ failure
88
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Diphenhydramine An antihistamine, commonly used as an over- the-counter sedative Toxicity is usually limited to anticholinergic symptoms Treatment is supportive and directed toward anticholinergic effects Sodium bicarbonate may be beneficial if wide-complex tachycardia develops Extracorporeal treatment has a limited role
89
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, clonazepam) Treatment is largely supportive (high degree of protein binding, high V D of some of these drugs) Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, may be considered in severe benzodiazepine poisoning
90
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Zolpidem and zaleplon Newer sedatives that act as selective benzodiazepine-1 receptor subtype agonists. Fewer side effects even in overdose. Supportive treatment is usually sufficient
91
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Meprobamate (MW 218), chloral hydrate (MW 165) Lipid soluble, moderately protein bound, and V D values of 0.7 and 1.6 L/kg, respectively Hemodialysis or hemoperfusion is indicated for patients who have been poisoned severely and not responded to standard intensive care
92
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Glutethimide (MW 217), methaqualone, methyprylon, ethchlorvynol Highly lipid soluble, large V D Poorly removed by hemodialysis and moderately well removed by hemoperfusion. Continuous hemoperfusion may be useful to prevent rebound
93
J. Sedatives and hypnotics Carbamazepine (MW 236) Hemoperfusion can be used for severe intoxications. Hemoperfusion can be used for severe intoxications. High-flux hemodialysis has been reported to give good resultsHigh-flux hemodialysis has been reported to give good results
94
K. Theophylline (MW 180) Toxic: > 25 mg/L (140 mcmol/L) (therapeutic levels being 10–20 mg/L) Seizures typically occur with levels >40 mg/L but may occur at levels as low as 25 mg/L Cardiovascular collapse is rare until levels are > 50 mg/L
95
K. Theophylline (MW 180) V D : 0.5 L/kg, 56% protein bindingV D : 0.5 L/kg, 56% protein binding Well adsorbed by charcoal, enabling efficacious removal by MDAC and hemoperfusionWell adsorbed by charcoal, enabling efficacious removal by MDAC and hemoperfusion Propranolol (1–3 mg IV) may be used to treat tachyarrhythmia, and hypokalemia should be correctedPropranolol (1–3 mg IV) may be used to treat tachyarrhythmia, and hypokalemia should be corrected
96
K. Theophylline (MW 180) Hemoperfusion/hemodialysis:Hemoperfusion/hemodialysis: - acute intoxication: >100 mg/L - acute intoxication: >100 mg/L - chronic toxicity: > 60 mg/L - chronic toxicity: > 60 mg/L - elderly or infants under 6 m/o > 40 mg/L - elderly or infants under 6 m/o > 40 mg/L Treatment should be continued until the plasma level is 25–40 mg/LTreatment should be continued until the plasma level is 25–40 mg/L
97
Theophylline poisoning Indications for dialysis:Indications for dialysis: –serum level > 100 mg/L (acute OD) –level > 60 mg/L (chronic) –Level > 40 mg/L in elderly or infants under 6 m/o Notes:Notes: –HP or high-flux HD –Treatment goal: plasma level is 25–40 mg/L –hypokalemia should be corrected
