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=

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
Idiosyncrasy effect
individual reaction is unusually different from what is commonly seen
26
Tachyphylaxis effect
Rapid occurring tolerance to med
27
Cumulative effect
when med admin/ in several doses causing in increased effect, this is due to a quantitative buildup of the drug in the blood
28
Medication antagonism
effects of one med blocks the response to another drug
29
Medication Summation
2 meds that enhance eachother
30
medication Synergism
2 meds are admin/ together that produces a greater response (“1+1=5”)
31
medication Potentiation
When med enhances effects of another (promethazine + morphine)
32
medication interference
med directly effects pharmacology of another “football” EX: non-selective beta blocker w/ albuterol so asthma worsts
33
“-oLOL”
Beta blocker med
34
Chronotropy Inotropy Dromotropy
= HR = Contraction of heart = Heart electrical activity
35
“-Pril”s
ACE inhibitors -> hypertension meds
36
RAAS→ Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
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
Assay test: Bioassay test:
=test done to determine the amount of purity of a given chemical =test to ascertain a med/s in a biological model
38
Teratogenic med
medication that can kill/deform the fetus in the mother
39
med Efficacy
ability of med/ to cause a expected response
40
Central line Dacron cuff
lil circle of special tissue sitting under where lumens tunneled (skin)→ prevent infection & m-vt
41
Navel
umbilicus/ belly button
42
NAVEL meds for NG/OG tube
Narcan, Atropine, Vasopressin, Epi, Lidocaine
43
med “-Caines”:
= all "cousins” slows electrical conduction
44
Vaughn-Williams Classification System: Class I: Class II: Class III: Class IV: Miscellaneous:
= 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
Caudally:
= towards tail
46
“Nitrogen washout”:
= preoxygenation/ denitrogenation -> getting lungs oxy-100% & removing nitrogen
47
Decorticate: Decerebrate:
= flexing forearms inwards = flexing forearms outwards
48
Sedation: Minimal sedation aka anxiolysis: Moderate sedation aka conscious sedation: Deep sedation: General sedation:
= 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
anisocoria:
= unequal pupils greater than 1mm
50
dysarthria: dysphonia: aphasia: expressive aphasia: Receptive aphasia: PT w/ aphasia w/ such difficulty talking can be mistaken for:
=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
51
SLUGEM
Salvation Lacrimation Uremia GI upset Emesis (vomiting) Miosis / Muscle twitching
52
Eupnea= Hyperpnea= Biots-respirations: Cheyne-Stokes=
= normal/equal breathing = deep breathes = Completely random breathing pattern = Gradual increases & decreases in respirations w/ periods of apnea by increasing ICP & brainstem injury
