32
Q

What Drug interaction of AChE Inhibitors must you try to avoid when dealing with a Neuromuscular blockade for anesthesia?

33
Q

What is the recommended treatment for Cholinergic Poisoning (i.e. Toxicity due to too high of Cholinergic activity)?

A

Atropine

34
Q

What is the recommended therapy for Organophosphate poisoning resulting in Cholinergic Toxicity?

A 
Pralidoxime (an AChE Regenerator)
Atropine (a mAChR Selective Antagonist)
A Benzodiazepine (an anticonvulsant)
35
Q

Pralidoxime

A

Pralidoxime is an AChE Regenerator capable of removing an Organophosphate from AChE if administered within a sufficient timeframe

36
Q

Atropine

A

Reversible, Tertiary (Neutral), mAChR Selective Antagonist

37
Q

What mAChR Antagonist would you choose to use in order to treat motion-sickness or sea-sickness? What are some possible side effects of this drug?

A

Scopolamine is classically known for being used to treat motion-sickness or sea-sickness.

Scopolamine side effects may include Amnesia and Drowsiness

38
Q

What mAChR Antagonists might you use in the management of Pt’s with COPD?

A

Ipratropium or Tiotropium, inhaled mAChR Antagonists, may be used to facilitate improved breathing and exercise tolerance in Pt’s with COPD by inducing Bronchodilation and decreased secretions

39
Q

What mAChR Antagonists might you use to relieve bladder spasms following Urologic Surgery and/or involuntary voiding in Pt’s with Neurological diseases?

A

Oxybutynin - a somewhat M# Selective MAChR Antagonist

Trospium - a Nonselective, mAChR Antagonist with similar efficacy to Oxybutinin

Darifenacin, Solifenacin, and Tolterodine - all 3 are M3 Selective mAChR Antagonist that are advantageous due to their longer half-life and decreased incidence of symptoms (constipation, xerostomia)

40
Q

What mAChR Antagonists might you use to help reduce the Tremors and Rigidity in Pt’s with Parkinson’s Disease?

A

Benztropine and Trihexyphenidyl may be used to hep reduce the tremors and rigidity in Pt’s with Parkinson’s

41
Q

What general GI symptoms might you expect when taking a mAChR Antagonist?

A

Prolonged GI emptying and transit time
Decreased salivation > decreased gastric secretions
No real change in Intestinal or Pancreatic secretions

42
Q

What condition might a Child get if they take a normal Adult dose of a mAChR Antagonist Drug?

A

“Atropine Fever”

mAChR Antagonist-induced Hyperthermia

43
Q

What are the possible routes of administration for Scopolamine?

A

Injection
PO
Transdermal Patch

44
Q

What Long-Acting mAChR Antagonist would you use in order to prevent the formation of Synechia (where the Iris of the eye fuses to the Cornea or the Lens) in Pt’s suffering from Uveitis or Iritis?

A

Homatropine

45
Q

Between Ipratropium and Tiotropium, which of the two is a Longer-Acting, Inhalational mAChR Antagonist that only has to be used ONCE daily to help reduce COPD symptoms?

A

Tiotropium is longer-acting than Ipratropium and must only be used once daily

46
Q

What is the first drug of choice when treating Bradycardia in the setting of Advanced Cardiac Life Support?

A

Atropine

47
Q

When using Oxybutynin for relief of GU disorders including Urinary Frequency, Involuntary Voiding, etc., what side effects could an individual expect to experience?

A

Dry Mouth, Dizziness, Constipation, Blurred Vision, Dry Eyes, UTI

48
Q

Trospium

A

A Non-Selective mAChR Antagonist that may be used to treat GU issues relating to Urinary Frequency. It’s similar in efficacy to Oxybutynin

49
Q

Darifenacin

A

Darifenacin is a M3 Selective mAChR Antagonist that is useful in treating GU issues relating to Urinary frequency. Alongside, Solifenacin and Tolterodine, it offers less side effects than Oxybutynin or Trospium

50
Q

Solifenacin

A

Solifenacin is a M3 Selective mAChR Antagonist that is useful in treating GU issues relating to Urinary frequency. Alongside Darifenacin and Tolterodine, it offers less side effects than Oxybutynin or Trospium

51
Q

Tolterodine

A

Tolterodine is a M3 Selective mAChR Antagonist that is useful in treating GU issues relating to Urinary frequency. Alongside, Solifenacin and Darifenacin, it offers less side effects than Oxybutynin or Trospium

52
Q

Oxybutynin

A

Oxybutynin is a somewhat M3 Selective mAChR Antagonist used in the treatment of GU issues relating to urinary frequency. Although Solifenacin, Darifenacin, and Tolterodine are more advantageous treatments as they come with decreased incidences of Oxybutynin’s side-effects of xerostomia and constipation

53
Q

Where in the body is Pralidoxime Capable of regenerating AChE?

A

Pralidoxime is charged and thus only capable of regenerating AChE at the Neuromuscular Junction

54
Q

Pirenzepine

A

Pirenzepine is a M1 Selective mAChR Antagonist that may be used to treat Peptic Ulcer Disease (BUT it is not approved in the US due to adverse effects). It works by inhibiting gastric secretions by Antagonizing M1 Receptors at their ganglion

55
Q

Mecamylamine

A

Mecamylamine is a Synthetic, Tertiary Amine, Ganglion-Blocking Drug that competitively blocks the action of ACh at nAChR’s of both sympathetic and parasympathetic Ganglion (Blocking all Autonomic Outflow).

It may be used to improve Gi Absorption. It is approved to treat HTN and may be helpful in smoking cessation

56
Q

What are the overall Organ System effects one might expect to see with a Ganglion-Blocking drug (such as Mecamylamine)?

A

A Ganglion-Blocking Drug (such as Mecamylamine) will induce organ system effects similar to Sympathetic effects, as they function to reduce Parasympathetic effects more throughout the body

57
Q

If a patient presents with Muscle Fasciculations, what type of receptor MUST be involved?

A

AChR’s must be involved, as the only way you’ll get Muscle Fasciculations is if nAChR’s are being activated
