29
Q

Etomidate (Amidate) Therapeutics

A

Hypnosis; no analgesic activity

30

A

Reversal of NMB

35
Q

Neostigmine (Prostigmin) Therapeutics

A

Reversal of NMB (most commonly used)

36
Q

Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) Mask induction in children; adjuvant to volatile anesthetics, opioids
Gold standard for maintenance of anesthesia

A

Reversal of NMB

37
Q

Glycopyrrolate (Robinul) Mask induction in children; adjuvant to volatile anesthetics, opioids
Gold standard for maintenance of anesthesia

A

Reversal of neuromuscular blockade’s muscaranic effects

38
Q

Nitrous Oxide Important SE

A

Post-operative nausea and vomiting; inactivates vitamin B (leading to abnormal embryonic development, abortion); accumulates in closed, air-containing spaces (bowel, middle ear, pneumothoraces, air emboli) because N2O insoluble in blood

39
Q

Isoflurane (Forane) Important SE

A

Pungent; dose dependent CNS depression, increase in cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure; dose dependent decrease in systemic BP, decrease in respiratory function; relaxes skeletal muscle; increase in HR; malignant hyperthermia

40
Q

Propofol (Diprivan) Important SE

A

Propofol infusion syndrome: being given for several days leads to metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, heart & renal failure, lowering of BP, bradycardia, and death (likely due to fatty acid oxidation)

41
Q

Etomidate (Amidate) Important SE

A

Pain on administration (due to solvent, propylene glycol); involuntary myoclonic movements due to subcortical disinhibition (not a seizure); post-operative nausea and vomiting; single dose inhibits cortisol synthesis

42
Q

Ketamine (Ketalar) Important SE

A

Stimulates sympathetic nervous system outflow; increases cerebral blood flow, ICP; emergence delerium; nystagmus, lacrimation, salivation, and dissociative anesthesia

43
Q

Succinylcholine (Anectine) Important SE

A

Malignant hyperthermia; cardiac dysrhythmias, hyperkalemia, increased intraocular pressure, increased intracranial pressure

44
Q

Pancuronium (Pavulon) Important SE
