Q

Reversal of NMJ blockade is dependent on these 5 factors:

A
  1. Depth of block
  2. AChE-i choice
  3. Dose administered

A

7 - 10 mcg/kg

18
Q

What common side effects are seen after atropine administration?

A
  • Mydriasis (pupil dilation)
  • initial Tachycardia
19

A

2 - 5 min

20
Q

What is the dose and max for glycopyrrolate?

A

7 - 15 mcg/kg

1mg maximum

21
Q

What reversal drug is specific to mivacurium?

A

Purified human plasma cholinesterase

22
Q

What reversal drug is specific to gantacurium?

A

Cystiene

23
Q

What reversal drug is very specific to rocuronium? What other NMBDs is this drug effective in reversing?

A

Sugammadex (Bridion)

Aminosteroids

24
Q

What type of drug is sugammadex?

A

Selective relaxant-binding agent

25
Q

What should be known about sugammadex’s organic structure and physical properties? (3)

A
  • γ-cyclodextrin
  • Dextrose units from starch
  • Highly H₂O-soluble (large renal excretion)
26
Q

What is the MOA of Sugammadex?

A

Encapsulates aminosteroids (mostly rocuronium) via:

  • Van der Waals forces
  • H-bonds
  • Hydrophobic interactions
27
Q

What drugs does sugammadex work with?

A

Aminosteroids
Roc > Vec > Pancuronium

28
Q

What is the E ½ time of sugammadex?

A

2 hours

29
Q

How is sugammadex eliminated? What is an important consideration regarding excretions?

A

Urine:

  • 70% gone in 6 hours
  • 90% gone in 24 hours

Renal impairment: Contraindicated with dialysis pts

30
Q

Differentiate a moderate block vs a deep block.

A
  • Moderate: 2/4 twitches on TOF
  • Deep: No twitches to TOF (minimal posttetanic response)
31
Q

What is the Sugammadex dose for a moderate block?

A

2 mg/kg

32
Q

What is the Sugammadex dose for a deep block?

A

4 mg/kg

33
Q

What is the sugammadex dose for an extreme block?

A

8 - 16 mg/kg

34
Q

What are the side effects of Sugammadex? (4)

A
  • marked Bradycardia
  • dose-related N/V
  • dose-related Pruritis
  • dose-related Urticaria
35
Q

What drugs/conditions are relative contraindications to sugammadex?

A
  • Contraceptives
  • Toremifene (displaces NMB from sugammadex)
  • Coagulopathy/bleeding
  • ESRD (excreted renally)
36
Q

What is recurarization?

A

Resumption of NMJ blockade after period of reversal

37
Q

What s/s would indicate recurarization? (5)

Say you just brought the patient to PACU.

A
  • ↓ SpO₂
  • ↓ respiratory effort
  • Floppy/uncoordinated
  • Unresponsive
  • suffocating feeling
38
Q

What drug and dose would be a good choice for a recurarizing patient in the PACU?
Why might this be a good choice?

A
  • Neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg IV (40-70mcg/kg)
  • Longer duration of action (60min)
39
Q

What is the only used long-acting NMBD? intermediate-acting NMBDs? short-acting NMBD?

A

Long
Pancuronium (AS)

Intermediate
Rocuronium (AS)
Vecuronium (AS)
Atracurium (BNZ)
Cisatracurium (BNZ)

Short
Mivacurium (BNZ)
