Oral (PO) Intravenous (IV) Low Cost High Cost Long duration of therapy (72 hours) Shorter duration of therapy (20 hours) Adverse Effects are minimal Usually Nausea and Emesis More Adverse Effects AnaphylactOID Reaction (No IgE action) Vomiting <1hr post-administration requires the dose to be readministered Adverse effects more common in asthmatic patients Poor palatability Rash, Itching, Bronchospasm, Tachycardia, Hypotension Patients that are not candidates for oral route have to use IV Symptoms are usually mild (severe in ~1% of cases) Ex. Neonates, Patients with altered mental status, GI bleed, repeat vomiting etc. Hold infusion and re-challenge with lower dose (Low recurrence rate)

Editor's Notes
- Episodic emesis simply refers to vomiting periodically.
- Point out pka to show that it can irritate the stomach and it can be enteric coated
- PGE2 are mediators of fever, pain, and inflammation
- Basically there really is not any major ways that the general population may be exposed to APAP other then ingesting it. We have to remember that this is a drug and it usually comes in oral form. What causes it to be so significant is the rate of exposure that is seen in the general population. Since as we said before it is something that is a common OTC drug, most household do have it in their homes at all time.
- As Ebey said earlier, children are at a higher risk then others to get APAP toxicity and this is going to be clearly demonstrated in our Neonatal case.
- CPK – Creatine Phospho Kinase levels
- Basically what we see are the classical GI irritation but no major notable signs
- Tenderness and abdominal pain, enlarged liver
- Jaundice, GI bleeding, edemas, multi organ failures
- No apparently physical symptoms but heavy liver damage or coma or death. - Stage 4 patients have hepatic histological changes such as increased CYP2E1 enzymes which may last for up to 3 months
- Rumack-Matthew nomogram is …
- Now the lab values are really according to who the patient is and this will be further explained and explored as we talk about the individual cases.
- NR = normal range
- These were all given because he was initially diagnosed with sepsis with renal failure, liver failure, and coagulopathy. The initial treatment corrected his hypoglycemia, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance, but did not help with his persistent encephalopathy.
- Just as a side note: I am sure many of u have heard or even watched the tv show “House MD” and kn that he was addicted to Vicodin. Vicodin of course is a narcotic analgesic that is a combination of hydrocodone and paracetamol. While something like Vicodin is much more addicting, acetaminophen alone can be just as addicting. Its just that using acetaminophen to alleviate pain has become so common that many people underestimate it.
