Q

Depolarizing NMB: Succinylcholine Chloride

A
  1. White, colorless, slightly bitter powder and very soluble in water
  2. Unstable in alkaline solutions but STABLE in ACID solutions
  3. Should be stored in refrigeration to preserve potency
  4. PH adjusted to 3.5 w/ HCL (methylparaben added for preservative)
    * Chloride is added to counteract succ positive charge
    * do not mix w/ alkaline solutions greater than 8.5 (ex barb solutions)

Q

Vecuronium Bromide

A
  1. Non depolarizing competitive NMB agent
  2. Quartnernary steroidal compounds
  3. Each 10 ml vial contains 10 mg of vec. Bromide
  4. Sodium hydroxide added to buffer and adjust pH to 4
  5. Powder should be stored away from light and refrigerated
  6. Ester makes it more susceptible to hydrolysis because it is not protected by quaternary amine

Q

Metabolites of atracurium biotransformation-hydrolysis

A
  1. Devoid of NMB activity and CV effects
    * atracurium can also undergo cleavage between the carbonyl group and the nitrogen group via a process called the Hoffman elimination. Metabolism by hoffman and ester hydrolysis is nearly complete

Q

Physostigmine

A
  1. Inhibits ACHE, increases Ach at cholingeric receptor and reverses the effects of non depolarizing (competitive) blockers
  2. Has carbamate ring- ester in which there is a nitrogen bound to a carbon
17
Q

Neostigmine

A
  1. Charged- small molecule

Needs counter ion in solution

18
Q

Pyridostigmine Bromide

A

Cholingeric

Need bromide as counter ion

19
Q

Edrophonium chloride

A
  1. Cholingeric
  2. Has sodium sulfite as preservative and is buffered with citric acid and adjusted to ph 4
  3. Do NOT undergo hydrolysis, no site for this
20
Q

Sugammadex

A
  1. New NMB reversal agent is undergoing clinical trials targeted to reversing rocuronum
  2. Binding w/ roc and similar steroid NMB agents
  3. Excreted by kidney
  4. Has cycodextrins that are circular sugar-containing compounds that form a cone with a hollow core. Steroid compounds are induced in the hollow cone of the cyclodextrin molecule and this causes reversal of the NMB effect
