Exam 4 Flashcards
What is the other name for neuromuscular monitoring
Acceleromyography
most common location, nerve, and muscle monitored
abductor pollicis muscle, hand, ulnar nerve
NMBD Reversal Agents
edrophonium
neostigmine
Anti-Cholinergic Agents
atropine sulfate
glycopyrrolate
NMBD Reversal Agents MOA
AcetylcholineEsterase (AchE) Inhibitors, Cholinergic Agents, COMPETITIVE ANTAGONISTS
AchE: Rapid hydrolysis (catalyze) of Ach
Inhibition = more Acetylcholine available
Ach binds to alpha subunits;
Available @:
Preganglionic (SNS & PNS)
NMJ- main focus
Total max neostigmine dose
5mg
Neostigmine max range
40 to 70 mcg/kg
Edrophonium max range
1 mg/kg
NMBD Reversal Agents will not work with…..
Will not work with deep NM blockade
because of ceiling effect
Reversal of NM Blockade depends on 5 factors:
- Depth of the NM Block
- AchE Inhibitor choice
- Dose administered
- Rate of plasma clearance of NMBD
- Anesthesia agent choice and depth
What NMBD needs to be reconstituted w/ distilled water
Vec - reconsitiute w/ 10 ml to make 1 ml
Why is pancuronium given to cardiac patients?
INtrinsic effects on cardiac accelerators and good for the cardiac muscle
Goal of NMBD reversal agents
Prevent postoperative residual NM blockade
Sugammadex dose
2-16 mg/kg
Neostigmine onset
5-10 min
neostigmine duration
60 mins
Neostigmine anticholinergic
glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg/ml of neostigmine
Sugammadex onset
1-4 min
Sugammadex duration
1.5-3 hrs
sugammadex anticholinergic
none
Edrophonium onset
1-2 mins
Edrophonium duration
5-15 min
Pyridostigminge and edrophonium are excreted by how much renaly
75%
Overall side effects of NMBD reversal agents are a result from increased…..
Increased Nicotinic/Muscarinic Activity
