NDNMB reversals Flashcards
2 parts of the CNS
-brain-spinal cord
2 parts of the PNS
somatic nervous system (SNS)Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
Which system conveys information from receptors to the CNS
Afferent system
which system conveys information from the CNS to the muscles and glands
Efferent system
what are the 2 main areas the efferent system sends information to?
the somatic nervous system (SNS)and Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
what does the somatic nervous system (SNS) do
conveys informatin from the CNS to the skeletal muscles
what does the ANS do
conveys information from the CNS to smooth musclecardiac muscleand glands

2 parts of the ANS
Sypathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system
ACh is stored where at the synaptic cleft
in vesicles at motor end plate
the nicotinic ACh receptor consist of how many gycoprotein subunits to form an ion channel? what are the named?
5
2 alpha, 1 beta, 1 delta, and 2 gamma (epsilon)
how many alpha glycoprotein subunits on the nicotinic receptor need to bound to for ACh to open the channel?
(both) 2
how many alpha glycoprotein subunits on the nicotinic receptor need to bound to for NDMBs to block the channel?
1
how many alpha glycoprotein subunits on the nicotinic receptor need to bound by Sux to cause a block?
both (2)
how is reversal of NMB (neuro muscular blockade) achieved?
by competitive antagonism–competition b/t NMBA and ACh for the motoer end plate receptor at the NMJ- whichever is the greatest wins
what is RECURARIZATION?
was a problem with long acting NMBAs whose effects outlasted the reversal agents
what is ENCAPSULATION reversal
cyclodextrin surrounds and bonds NMBA in plasma -the concenration gradient reversed drawing NMBAs off receptors into plasma and then quickly bound
side notes about cholinesterase inhibitors: what were they derived from?
what were they used for?
precursor of what? (give ex)
- derived from Calabar beanused in West africa as a poison precursor for organphosphates
- insecticides
- nerve gas
what class of drugs are reversal agents
cholinesterase inhibitors
basic way cholinesterase inhibitors work for reversals
competitive antagonism - inhibits acetylcholinesterase (and other chilinesterases), so it increases the concentration of ACh at the NMJ
Name 4 cholinesterase inhibitors
edrophonium (enlon)
neostigmine (prostigmin)
pyridostigmine
physostigmine (antilerium)
what is the most rapid acting cholinesterase inhibitor?
edrophonium
which cholinesterase inhibitor binds REVERSIBLY to the negative charged enzyme site (cholinesterase enzyme)?
edrophonium
why is the duration of binding short with edrophonium (Enlon)?
b/c once it binds it is liberated finds another site to bind to, and so on
Why is edrophonium (Enlon) not recommended for deep blocks?
b/c of the type of bonds it makes (reversable it’s not a covalent bond)
does edrophonium require attenuation of muscarinic response to ACh accumulation?
yes
just b/c shores may ask what is the basic chemical make up of edrophonium (Enlon)?
simple alcohol with quaternary ammonium group
