Intracranial Pressure Medication Rhyme GameOnline version
Match medication rhymes to their correct name.
1
MAN, we’ve covered ITOL, but this med makes pressures fall, tackling brain swelling and cerebral edema overall. It even lowers intraocular pressure and strain, but intense diuresis comes with a trade. Headache, dizziness, electrolytes may stray, so check serum osmolality so before it goes astray. Monitor lungs, renal function, and strict I&O, fluid shifts can cause pulmonary edema or worsen HF, so go slow.
2
A Phenomenal drug, but what am I dOINg? I prevent post-op Neuro seizures, treat tonic-clonic + focal seizures. Watch out for growing gums (gingival hyperplasia), nystagmus, and ataxia too.
3
I prevent or reduce blood clot formation to lower the risk of stroke, MI, PE, and deep vein thrombosis. Heparin (aPTT, protamine sulfate), Warfarin (INR, vitamin K), DOACs too. Watch for bleeding risk, especially intracranial hemorrhage. Monitor neuro status, bruising, and black tarry stools.
4
Let’s check-IN. Neuralgia pain, restless legs, focal seizures, I’m leader of the Gang. I act fast, but can make you feel slower, sedation and dizziness all over.
5
I’m Valiant and broad-spectrum, a PRO at a lot. I treat myoclonic + Absence seizures, but that’s off the top. I can calm mania and make migraines more plACID. Caution should be used for hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis, and thrombocytopenia.
6
A drug CLOaked in prospective, an antiseizure med when others aren’t effective. I can calm agitation, reduce sympathetic surges, ease panic attacks and myoclonic urges. I carry a risk for dependence, over-sedation too—avoid abrupt discontinuation and see neuro checks through.
7
I break down thrombus already formed in the vessels, especially important for acute ischemic strokes. Confirm no hemorrhage on CT scan, there’s a narrow window to stop brain damage. Monitor for bleeding, especially intracranial hemorrhage. Perform neuro checks and avoid invasive procedures.
8
A newer AED drug with one key use to provIDE, focal seizures is its prIDE. One area it doesn’t sLACk, temporary IV use if NPO is back. Sodium channels are suppressed, cardiac patients should be assessed.
9
For seizures and migraines, I’m Top-Rate. I can cause kidney stones or make you drop too much weight. Drink plenty of fluids, don’t overheat--reduced sweating can cause heat stroke.
10
A Level drug, with fewer interACtions, I focus on Focal seizures, but I’m adjunct with others, Myoclonic and tonic-clonic. Hospitals Love my quick action, but watch my mood, I might cause agitation.
11
You may know me by the simple name of Statins. I lower LDL to promote vascular health. Stabilizing plaques and reducing CV events, I’m the golden child of cholesterol contents. Monitor LFT’s for liver injury, CK for rhabdomyolysis, and exercise and diet, but no grapefruit.
12
A broad category with a narrow aim, controlling blood pressure is the game. Too high can cause hemorrhage, too low can starve the brain. Check pressures sitting and standing too, balance is key, adjust with intent, protect perfusion, prevent catastrophe.
13
During status epilepticus (prolonged seizure activity), I come to the rescue to calm neuron excitability. When the patient is in a jAM, I reduce ICP spikes with sedation and lower metabolic demand. Too much can cause suppression—hypotension, dependence, and respiratory depression.
14
BARred from the modern list, I’m old-school but true, with risks of addiction and sedation too. Seizures I steady — focal or grand, febrile, status, or tonic–clonic, I lend a hand. Eclampsia, tetanus, when others fall back, just like these BARs, I’m on the counterattack.
15
After a CYCLOne of neurological activity, I help relieve neck/back spasms and reduce muscle sensitivity. But be beware of CNS depression, decreased LOC can mask neuro function. Excessive sedation can distort your neuro evaluation.
16
I treat focal and generalized seizures, a routine scene. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or bipolar disorder, I’m keen. But titrate slowly or SJS will turn your skin mean.
