NMB- COMPLETED Flashcards
Depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs
Mimics acetylcholine; Competitive agonists, and generating action potentials
Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs
Interferes with actions of acetylcholine
2 types on Non-depolarizing MB
Benzylisoquinolinium compounds
Aminosteroid compounds
The Main neurotransmitter is
Acetylcholine
Anticholinergic agent only work at
MUSCARINIC receptors
ACh in high concentration acts as an
inhibitor to vesicle release
Agonist will ______muscle contraction while antagonists _______muscle contraction
activate muscle contraction
Antagonist will prevent muscle contraction (NDNMB)
Patient who suffer from stroke have extra
EXTRAjunctional receptors
Nicotinic receptor at motor end plate
acetylchonisterase (true) metabolize ACW
Before succinylcholine starts working
you see fasciculations, Cell can’t repolarize, no new depolarization
Acetylcholine can’t break down
Succinylcholine (PSEUDOCHOLINESTERASE in plasma)
ACH has how many subunits
5
Ach must occupy both ______ for a conformotional change to occur
Alpha subunit , capable of binding Ach
Depolarizing Agents
Mimic the action of Ach but remain attached longer than ACh
Competitive Agents
Benzylisoquinoliniums
Aminosteroids
90% suppression of a single twitch response
is considered evidence of adequate drug-induced skeletal muscle relaxation
Laryngeal spasms associated with
can be treated with doses of 0.1mg/kg of succinylcholine
Used to measure the speed of onset and duration of NM blockade
• Adductor pollicis, orbicularis oculi
What TOF IS CONSIDERED evidence of return?
Traditionally TOF >0.7 has been considered evidence of return of adequate skeletal muscle strength to allow spontaneous
ventilationon
• Pharyngeal dysfunction and risk of aspiration exist when TOF
<0.9
Benzylisoquinoliniums NMB are
Cisatracurium
Atracurium
Aminosteroids NMB are
Rocuronium
Vecuronium
Reversal agent for aminosteroids ONLY is
SUGAMMADEX
At the neuromuscular Junction, the receptor is Nicotinic or muscarinic
Nicotinic
ACh binds to nicotinic or muscarinic
Nicotinic (only one at NMJ anyway)
Nicotinic are
Sodium channels and some voltage gated channels
ACh binds to ACh receptors —>
action potential of fibers and muscle movement occur
Presynaptic receptor are located on the
A-alpha motor neuron
Postsynaptic receptor are located on the
Skeletal muscle
After succinylcholine binds to the 2 alpha subunits, conformational change of channel allow channel to open what cations flows in and out?
Sodium and calcium flow in
Potassium flow OUT
Generating an end plate potential
Nicotinic receptors are
ion channels
When there is a voltage change Na channels
open and then the resultant action potential travels through muscle then open sodium channels and release CA from the SR –> The calcium allows actin and myosin to interact leading to muscle contraction
What is Ach broken down by ? located where ?
Acetylcholinesterase , at the motor end plate, adjacent to the receptor
ACh is broken down into
Acetyl and choline
What happens after ACh is broken down?
ion channels eventually close, allowing the end plate to repolarize. Calcium then return to the SR allowing the muscle to relax.
Succinylcholine is different in agonist of Ach receptors because
it remains attached longer , prolongs the depolarization state and the CELL CANNOT REPOLARIZE (cell cannot start over the cascade require to be repolarized)
What dose of the ED95 is required to facilitate the Endotracheal intubation ?
2 times ED95
What is considered evidence of adequate drug-induced skeletal muscle relaxation?

NO
What can laryngeal spasms be treated with
0.1mg/kg of Succinylcholine
What does the nerve stimulators do?
Measure the speed of onset and duration of NMB
2 major muscles use to measure
Adductor pollicis
Orbicularis Oculi
What is evidence of return of ADEQUATE skeletal muscle strength to allow SPONTANEOUS VENTILATION
TOF > 0.7
What is the patient at risk for when TOF ratio is <0.9?
