Edrophonium

19
Q

What does a negative tensilon test suggest?

A

Cholinergic crisis

20
Q

23
Q

What drug is used to reverse Atropine poisoning?

A

Physostigmine

24
Q

Name two naturally occurring forms of Atropine

A

(1) Belladona
(2) Jimson weed

25
Q

A

(1) Galantamine
(2) Rivastigmine
(3) Donepezil

27
Q

MOA: Pralidoxime

A

Regenerates AChE

28
Q

Do AChE inhibitors reverse nondepolarizing or depolarizing neuromuscular blockades?

A

Non-depolarizing

29
Q

Would an AChE inhibitor reverse the action of succinylcholine during phase 1 or phase 2 of the blockade?

A

Phase 2

30
Q

MOA: Organophosphates

A

AChE inhibitor

31
Q

What determines whether Pralidoxime will be effective at treating organophosphate poisoning?

32
Q

What are two naturally occurring forms of Atropine?

A

(1) Belladonna
(2) Jimson weed

33
Q

MOA: Scopolamine

A

M1 antagonist

34
Q

MOA: Ipratropium

A

M3 antagonist

36
Q

What is the difference in action of Tiotropium and Ipratropium?

A

Tiotropium dissociates more slowly from M3 receptor

(Hence lingering Tio-ooooo rings)
