Succinylcholine MOA
Depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent
Increases Na conductance via nACh
Can cause an increase in K by 0.5 mEq/dL
Cause Fasciculations
Non-Depolarizing NMB MOA
Binds at 2 nACH to prevent depolarization
Neostigmine MOA
Anticholinesterase inhibitors
Increases ACh for nACh receptors
Competetive w NDMB
Sugammadex MOA
Encapsulates steroidal NMBD
Only works for Roc, Vec, Panc
Binds to free drug in plasma
Glycopyrrolate MOA
Blocks ACh at muscarinic receptor
Blocks SLUDGE-MB (miosis,
bradycardia)
