Q

Diuretics

A

reduce circulating blood volume by increasing urination. This reduces preload to the heart, which, in turn, reduces cardiac output.

Q

Cholinergic antagonists/ anticholinergics / parasympatholytics =

A

work by competitively binding w/ muscarinic receptors w/o stimulating them. thus, these receptors can’t bind w/ ACh thus, block the effects of acetylcholine almost exclusively at the muscarinic receptors.

Q

-lytic=

A

speeds up

22
Q

bioavailability

A

how much the body can break down the med

23
Q

Biotransformation

A

METABOLISM→ liver #1 ⅔ filter → means of body filtering medication

24
Q

Prodrug

A

body has to break drug down for med to work as intended EX aspirin

25
Q

Idiosyncrasy effect

A

individual reaction is unusually different from what is commonly seen

26
Q

Tachyphylaxis effect

A

Rapid occurring tolerance to med

27
Q

Cumulative effect

A

when med admin/ in several doses causing in increased effect, this is due to a quantitative buildup of the drug in the blood

28
Q

Medication antagonism

A

effects of one med blocks the response to another drug

29
Q

Medication Summation

A

2 meds that enhance eachother

30
Q

medication Synergism

A

2 meds are admin/ together that produces a greater response (“1+1=5”)

31
Q

medication Potentiation

A

When med enhances effects of another (promethazine + morphine)

32
Q

medication interference

A

med directly effects pharmacology of another “football” EX: non-selective beta blocker w/ albuterol so asthma worsts

33
Q

“-oLOL”

A

Beta blocker med

34
Q

Chronotropy
Inotropy
Dromotropy

A

= HR
= Contraction of heart
= Heart electrical activity

35
Q

“-Pril”s

A

ACE inhibitors -> hypertension meds

36
Q

RAAS→ Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

A

1(Kidneys monitor BP) reg/s cardiovascular sys/→ make sure fluids there
2. JG cells Juxtaglomerular granular cells= kidney cells
3. kidneys send renin to liver angiotensin to form angiotensin 1
4. angiotensin 1 flows around to heart to lungs for ACE to produce angiotensin 2 & aldosterone to adrenal glands

37
Q

Assay test:
Bioassay test:

A

=test done to determine the amount of purity of a given chemical
=test to ascertain a med/s in a biological model

38
Q

Teratogenic med

A

medication that can kill/deform the fetus in the mother

39
Q

med Efficacy

A

ability of med/ to cause a expected response

40
Q

Central line Dacron cuff

A

lil circle of special tissue sitting under where lumens tunneled (skin)→ prevent infection & m-vt

41
Q

Navel

A

umbilicus/ belly button

42
Q

NAVEL meds for NG/OG tube

A

Narcan, Atropine, Vasopressin, Epi, Lidocaine

43
Q

med “-Caines”:

A

= all “cousins” slows electrical conduction

44
Q

Vaughn-Williams Classification System:
Class I:
Class II:
Class III:
Class IV:
Miscellaneous:

A

= Antiarrhythmics into 5 Classes
= Class I: Na Channel Blockers: Procainamide & Lidocaine
= Class II: Beta Blockers: “lol” Labetalol
= Class III: K+ Channel Blockers (“phase 3 repolar”): Amiodarone
= Class IV: Ca+ Channel Blockers: Diltiazem
= Misc: Adenosine & Digoxin

45
Q

Caudally:

A

= towards tail

46
Q

“Nitrogen washout”:

A

= preoxygenation/ denitrogenation -> getting lungs oxy-100% & removing nitrogen

47
Q

Decorticate:
Decerebrate:

A

= flexing forearms inwards
= flexing forearms outwards

48
Q

Sedation:
Minimal sedation aka anxiolysis:
Moderate sedation aka conscious sedation:
Deep sedation:
General sedation:

A

= decreas/ing of anxiety by slowing of neuron activity
= normal response to verbal stimulation
= purposeful response to verbal and/or tactile stimuli
= purposeful response to repeated & painful stimulation
= unarousable unresponsiveness even w/ painful stimulation

49
Q

anisocoria:

A

= unequal pupils greater than 1mm

50
Q

dysarthria:
dysphonia:
aphasia:
expressive aphasia:
Receptive aphasia:
PT w/ aphasia w/ such difficulty talking can be mistaken for:

A

=defective speech caused by motor deficits)
= voice changes caused by vocal cord problems
= defective language caused by neurologic damage to the brain
= words will be garbled.
= words will be clear but unrelated to your questions.
= be taken for a psych disorder

Cheyne-Stokes=

A

= normal/equal breathing
= deep breathes
= Completely random breathing pattern
= Gradual increases & decreases in respirations w/ periods of apnea by increasing ICP & brainstem injury
