Q

if your pt has masseter rigidity is experienced by pt with succinylcholine, what are your options

Q

why is succinylcholine c/i with DMD?

A

pts with DMD have leaky K channels (NOT extrajunctional receptors) so risk of hyperkalemia

Q

MOA of NDMR

A

binds to one alpha subunit on the nicotinic receptor which prevents Ach binding and prevents the ion channel from opening –> no muscle depolarization

Q

NDMR are described as ___________________ blocks, meaning an increase in Ach at the NM jx will have what effect?

A

competitive; increase in Ach will remove the NDMR from the receptor

Q

when might you have a situation (molecularly) where succinylcholine is occupying one alpha subunit and a NDMR is occupying the other

A
  1. pretx with NDMR 2. use succ to induce, but use NDMR for case 3. used NDMR for case but had laryngospasm (which is tx’d with succinylcholine)

25
T/F: 1st dose = roc, 2nd dose = vec --> denser block
TRUE
26
if you give a NDMR and you notice flushing and pt is not easier to bag, you should think what is happening
histamine release 2/2 NDMR
27
what NDMR at high doses cause the most histamine release
Atracurium and Mivacurium
28
how do you decrease the risk of histamine release with NDMR ?
1. slow injection rates 2. pretreat with antihistamines
29
which NDMR causes the greatest vagolytic response --> tachycardia
pancuronium
30
CV effects of NDMR (general)
1. drug induced release of histamine & vasoactive substances 2. effects at cardiac muscarinic receptors --> vasolytic response --> tachycardia
31
s/e of NDMR is histamine release, what are the s/sx of histamine release
1. bronchospasm 2. skin flushing 3. bradycardia (isnt it actually tachycardia?)4. Hotn
32
if your patient is hypokalemic, and you have to give NDMR, d/t _______________ duration of block (with hypoK) you should _________ dose of NDMR
increased; decrease
33
if your patient is hypokalemic and you are going to induce with succinylcholine you should _______________ the dose
increase
34
if your patient is hyperkalemic, and you induce with NDMR you should _______________ dose
increase; d/t the duration of block being decreased 2/2 hyperK
35
what is a priming dose of NDMR
giving 10-15% of usual intubating dose 5 min before induction
36
what is the purpose of a "priming dose" of NDMR
if give 10-15% of induction dose 5 min before; you will have some receptors occupied, so when you give the remaining dose paralytic effects will occur faster
37
what are some issues that could occur with a "priming dose" of NDMR
may produce: distress, dyspnea, diplopia, and dysphagia O2 desaturation in patients with marginal pulmonary reserve
38
what is a "defasciulating dose"
giving NDMR 5 minutes before administration of succinylcholine
39
if you give a defasciculating dose of NDMR, you must ____________ dose of succinylcholine to _________mg/kg
increase; 1.5-2.0
40
PNS monitoring intraop helps prevent
1. over/under dosing of MR 2. residual paralysis in recovery/PACU
41
repeat NMBA doses should be guided by what
1. nerve stimulator 2. clinical signs (SV, movement, etc)
42
T/F: clinical signs that muscle relaxant has worn off may precede twitch response
TRUE
43
if you see __________________ on your EtCO2 waveform, or have _____________ on ventilator, you may need to redose your muscle relaxant
curare cleft; increased peak inspiratory pressures
44
which NDMR are Benzylisoquinolones
1. atracurium 2. cisatracurium
45

3-4; 5
54
metabolism of atracurium
1. 2/3 by ester hydrolysis via nonspecific esterases 2. 1/3 via hoffman elimination
55
half life of atracurium
20 min
56
atracurium is ______% protein bound
82
57
metabolites of atracurium are secreted in the ____________& _____________
bile and urine
58
metbolism of cisatracurium
1. 77% hoffman elimination 2. 23% nonspecific esterases via ester hydrolysis
59
