Depolarizing Neuromuscular blockers Flashcards
0
Q
Membrane repolarizes but receptor is desensitized to the effects of acetylcholine
A
Phase II (Desensitization)
1
Q
Membrane depolarizes with initial electric discharge. Transient fasciculations followes by flaccid paralysis
A
Phase 1 Depolatization
2
Q
MOA of DNMB
A
Agonist at Ach-N receptors causing intial twitch then persistent depolarization
3
Q
The only prototype of DNMB metabolized by pseudocholinesterase
A
Succinylcholine
4
Q
Potentially life threatening condition characterized by massive calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle
A
Malignant Hyperthermia
