NMB Flashcards
Acetylcholine receptor structure
Where Ach binds
5 subunits, central core for cations. Ach binds to both “a” subunits, site of agonist and antagonism
What happens in a non depolarizing block at receptor level
Ach cant attach to receptor, ch cant open, no direct effect on channel
What happens at receptor level in depolarizing block
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
Sch metabolism
No reversal. Rapid hydrolysis by pseudocholinesterase (in plasma, made by liver)
Sch contraindication, why, management
In peds (bradycardia, salivation, MH trigger). If emergency case give IV atropine .02 mg/kg with it
Atropine dose to give with sux
0.02 mg/kg
Cardiac issues of Sch in peds
Bolus can lead to ventricular arrhythmias and cv arrest d/t hyperkalemia and rhabdo. OR bradycardia/asystole (more common after 2nd dose)
Sux SE
Hyperkalemia, muscle pain, inc ICP/IOP/IGP, masseter spasm, MH trigger
Hyperkalemia more likely in which pts getting sux
Burns, trauma, nerve damage, nm disease, renal failure
Dibucaine is what, what number indicates
LA- inhib pseudocholinesterase. # is qualitative to indicate genetic make up regarding pseudocholinesterase
Dibucaine #: homozygous typical
Incidence, #, duration
Normal. 70-80. 4-6 min
Dibucaine #: heterozygous atypical
Incidence, #, duration
1/50 pts. 50-60. 20-30 min
Dibucaine #: homozygous atypical
Incidence, #, duration
1/3000 pts. 20-30. 4-8 hours
