CNS effects x5
- depression
- respiratory depression
- depression of cough reflex
- dependents (addiction)
- stimulation ( mood swings/ vomit/ pin point pupils)
CV effects x 2
- vasodilation
- decreased conduction velocity through the AV node
Ketamine pharmacology
An antagonist @NMDA receptors
May also interact w/ opioid, muscarinic receptors

Aspirin Pharmacology
Tip- (4 a’s) ( 2 actions)
An analgesic
Anti inflammatory
Antipyretic
Anti platelet aggregation agent
Actions
Minimise platelet aggregation/ thrombus formation in order to retard the progression of coronary artery thrombosis in ACS
Inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins - anti-inflammatory actions
GTN pharmacology
Organic nitrate - relaxes vascular smooth muscle.
Actions -
-vasodilation promotes Venus pooling and decrease Venus return, = decrease preload
- atrialdilation - decrease vascular resistance and atrial pressure = decrease after load
= decrease workload
Pharma for Dexamethasone
