Q

Acetylcholine receptor structure

Where Ach binds

A

5 subunits, central core for cations. Ach binds to both “a” subunits, site of agonist and antagonism

Q

What happens in a non depolarizing block at receptor level

A

Ach cant attach to receptor, ch cant open, no direct effect on channel

Q

What happens at receptor level in depolarizing block

A

Sux binds to nicotinic receptor, ch opens, endplate depolarization and single contraction occurs. Ch stay open until Sux diffuses back into circ, not broken down by acetylcholinesterases

Q

Cardiac issues of Sch in peds

A

Bolus can lead to ventricular arrhythmias and cv arrest d/t hyperkalemia and rhabdo. OR bradycardia/asystole (more common after 2nd dose)
