NMB Flashcards
fade during TOF is caused by
antagonism of pre-synaptic nicotinic receptors
acetylcholine - autonomic nervous system - which branch?
both! SNS and PNS but mostly Parasympathetic
how do depolarizing NMB’s work
depolarize the muscle fiber leaving it constantly stimulated and unable to be affected by Ach
how do non-depolarizers work
competitively block Ach from binding to receptors post-synaptically
non-depolarizers participate in ___ antagonism
competitive
ED95
dose of NMB necessary to produce 95% suppression of the single twitch response
ED95 when volatile anesthetic is used in conjunction with NMB
greatly reduced
use ___times the ED95 dose for tracheal intubation
2
which muscles are blocked first
small rapidly moving muscles - eyes and fingers
which muscle is blocked last
abdomen (diaphragm)
which muscle is a good predictor of laryngeal relaxation?
orbicularis
which muscles recover first?
larger muscles because they have more blood flow. (recovery in reverse order than paralysis)
ach channels are
ligand gated ion channels.
___% suppression of single twitch response is adequate for surgery
90
which non-dolparizers have a higher incidence of histamine release
benzylisoquinolinium
quaternary ammonium are ionized or lipophilic?
highly ionized.
quaternary cns effects?
none
quaternary binds to alpha sub unit ___ synaptically
post
quaternary are not completely specific, meaning they bind to
cardiac muscarinic and autonomic ganglia nicotinic
are quaternary’s highly protein bound?
no
which non-depol are long acting
panc, dox, and pipe
which non-depol are intermediate acting
atra, vec, roc, cis
which non-depol are short acting
miv
onset of succs
30-60s
duration of succs
3-5min
succs MOA
binds to one or both alpha subunits at nicotinic receptor. mimics Ach
does succs have a shorter or longer duration than ach
longer
succs increases K by
.5meq/L
tof ratio for succs
> 0.7
which recovers first.. diaphragm or peripheral muscles?
diaphragm
succs is broken down by
plasma cholinesterase in the blood
what things reduce the amt of plasma cholinesterase
severe liver dz, neostigmine, high estrogen levels. reglan
obese patients and cholinesterases
they have increased levels - so break down succs faster - need more
