ANS Flashcards
Anaphylaxis
Epinephrine
Alzheimer’s Disease
(2)?
- Donepezil
- Tacrine
Angina Pectoris
b Blockers (↓O2 consumption by↓HR + Contractility)
Asthma
- ACUTE RX (2)? - LONG-TERM RX?
- Albuterol
- Metaproterenol
- Salmeterol
Atropine
Uses (2 general)?
- Bradycardia
- Opthalmic applications
Atropine OD
Atropine = Muscarinic ANTAGONIST = ANTI-CHOLINERGIC
Physostigmine
Cardiac Stress Test
Dobutamine (inotropic ONLY)
CF Sweat Test
Pilocarpine
Challenge Test for Dx of Asthma
Methacholine
Cystitis- ↓bladder spasms + urgency
(2)?
- Glycopyrrolate
- Oxybutynin
Essential / Familial Tremors
b blocker (ie Propanolol)
Heart Failure
(2)?
- Dopamine (chronotropic + inotropic) + Dobutamine (inotropic)
- b Blockers (for CHF)
Heart problems with Lung Dz
b1 Blockers
Hypertension
(2)?
- a1 Blockers / Antagonists (-zosin)
- b Blockers (↓CO by↓Renin secretion)
Hypertension with Renal Disease
a-methyldopa + Clonidine (NO↓in bl flow to kidneys)
Hypotension
(2)?
- Epinephrine + NE (although NE↓blood flow to kidneys)
- Ephedrine
MI
b Blockers (↓mortality)
Motion Sickness
Scopolamine (available in patch form)
Myasthenia Gravis
(MG = muscle weakness + fatigue due to Ach degradation by AchE. Ach therefore NOT reaching and exciting post-synaptic Nicotinic receptors at NMJ)
RX (2), DX?
RX: AchE Inhibitors:
- Neostigmine
- Pyridostigmine (long-acting)
DX:
- Edrophonium (very short-acting): differentiation of MG from Cholinergic Crisis
Nasal Congestion
(2)?
- Phenylephrine
- Ephedrine
Patients on MAO Inhibitors who still eat Tyramine-containing foods
Phentolamine
Parkinson’s Disease
- “Park my BENZ” *
Benztropine
Peptic Ulcers
(3)?
- Methscopolamine
- Pirenzepine
- Propantheline
10-14 days prior to resection of Pheochromocytoma
to allow for expansion of blood volume
Phenoxybenzamine
Post-Op neurogenic ileus + urinary retention
(2)?
- Bethanechol
- Neostigmine
Premature Uterine Contraction Reduction
(2)?
- Ritodrine
- Terbutaline
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
b Blockers: Propanolol + Esmolol (↓AV conduction velocity)
Urinary Incontinence
Ephedrine
Urinary Retention in BPH
a1 Blockers / Antagonists (-zosin)
Propanolol
Hyperthyroidism + Thyroid Storm (↓conversion of T4 to T3)
