NMB and reversals Flashcards
Atricurium MOA
competitively inhibits/blocks ACh at the post junctional nicotinic cholinergic receptor in the NMJ by binding to 2 alpha subunits, preventing opening of the channel, depolarization and contraction
Atricurium/Tracurium class
Intermediate acting bisquarternary benzyllisoquinoline NDMR
Atricurium Pharmacokinetics
PB= 82%, onset 1-3min, DOA 20-50min, E1/2 20min, water soluble, metabolized 2/3 by ester hydrolysis and 1/3 Hofmanns elimination, excreted in urine, metabolite Laudanosine- (liver metabolized) can accumulate in renal failure and cause CNS problems like sz
SE Atricurium
Histamine release; decrease bp and increase HR, skin flushing; BRONChospasm
Atricurium CI/Cautions
conscious patient, hypersensitivity, cautious with asthma and COPD &pts unable to handle histamine release- CAD, sz history, muscle weakness, metabolite can accumulate with liver/renal problems
NMB can be prolonged with IA, abc, and anti-convulsants, LA, steriods, and immunosuppressants
Resistance can occur in burn PTs- up to 3 months; resistance with muscle trauma, denervation, immobilized
Atricurium dose
initial 0.5mg/kg iv, maintanance- 0.1mg/kg q 20-45min; continuous 9-10mcg/kg/min
Cisatracurium/Nimbex class
intermediate acting NDMR; stereoisomer of Atricurium
Cisatracurium PK
Vd= .12-.2l/kg, onset 3-5min, DOA 20-90min, e1/2 20-30min, water soluble, metabolized 80% by hoffmann elimination, excreted in urine and feces, metabolite Laudanosine 1/5 that of atriucurium (can accumulate in RF and cause CNS problems like szs)
Cisatracurium SE
no histamine release, lacks cv effects, laudanosine production less likely than with atr, anaphylaxis
Cisatracurium Ci/cautions
conscious patient , hypersensitivity, electrolye/acid/base abnormalities, muscle weakness, metabolite can accumulate with liver/renal problems
enhancedNMB with some abx, LI, LA, procainamide, mg
Decreased action with PTs on phenytoin/carbamazepine
Cisatracurium dose
initial 0.2mg/kg; maintenance- 0.03mg/kgq 40-60min, continous 1-3mcg/kg/min
Rocuronium class
short/intermediate acting monoquatinary aminosteriod ND NMB
Rocuronium MOA
competes with ACh for alpha subunits on the nicotinic receptor and inhibits a conformational change which prevents depolarization and contraction
Rocuronium PK
1/6 the potency of vecuronium, Not highly protein bound- 30-50%, VD 0.25L/KG, onset 60-90 sec, DOA 30-90, E1/2t 1-2hr, metabolized in liver by deacetylation to 17-desacetylrocuronium (5-10% activity of parent) 30% excreted in the urine unchanged, 20% hepatic degradation, billary excretion is primary up to 50%- don’t need to decrease dose in renal disease
Rocuronium SE
anaphylactic reactions, little affect on cardiac system- no histamine release, Hypertension or hypotension, arrhythmia, apnea, bronchospasm, hiccups, salivation
Rocuronium CI/Cautions
conscious patient, hypersensitivity, underlying neuromuscular disorder, children (2-12) need larger dose because shorter DOA, elderly prolonged effect, burns greater than 30% 3rd degree and Anticonvulsants will have resistance;
potentiated by IA, some abx, lasix, LA, antidsyrhythmics, dantroline, ketamine, anticonvulsants and Mag2+•
esmolol admin before will increase onset time
ephedrine given before will decrease onset time
Ach inhibitors diminish effects
Rocuronium dose
defaciculating- 0.06-0.1mg/kg, 0.6-1.2mg/kg intubating, maintenance 0.2mg/kg; continuous 10-12mcg/kg/min
Vecuronium/Norcuron- class
intermediate acting steriod type NDMR
Vecuronium PK
60-80% PB, Vd 0.2-0.2L/kg, onset 2-3 min, DOA 20-35min, e1/2 70min, hepatic metabolism; 30% excreted unchanged in the urine and primary excretion is billiary - active metabolite= 3-desacetyl vecuronium- 1/2 potency of parent
Vecuronium SE
No histamine release, bronchospasm, can cause SA node exit block
Vecuronium CI/cautions
hypersensitivity, caution with liver and renal disease, NMB blockade enhanced with INH Agents and increase effects of some abc (amino glycosides, anticonvulants, thiazides, and mag)
Vecuronium dose
defaciculating dose- 0.01mg/kg, 0.1mg/kg, maintenance 0.01mg/kg q25-45min, continuous 1mcg/kg/min
Pancuronium/Pavulon
longacting steriod type bisquarternary aminosteriod NDMR
Pancuronium PK
little PB, onset 2-3min, DOA 60-90 min, e1/2 2hours, 10-20% hepatic metabolism with renal excretion (80% excreted unchanged), 3 active metabolites= most 3-desacetyl pancurounium ( 1/2 potency parent)
