Overview of Nervous system Pharamaoclo Flashcards
Cholingerics are rarely used due to severe effects
SLUDGE
Excessive salivation
Excessive Lacrimation
Urinary icontience
Diaherra
GI cramps
Emesis
Anticholinergics
Drugs that block or inhbit the action of acetylcholine in the parasympathetic nervous system
Mechanism of Action
Drug effects of Anticholinergic
Anto-cholinergics
Asthma: Dialtes the bronchi
Therapeutic uses Anti-cholingerics
Gi disorder
Decrease the se
slow intestinal m
Acclerate heart rate
In combo with other meds
Anticholinergic Prototype
Atropine
Atropine
Side effects
Nursing considerations for Cholinergic
Acute angle glaucoma
heart conditions
hyperthyroidism
renal conditions
Adrenergic (Adrenergic Agonist)
Bete-adrenegic receptors
Beta1-adrenergic receptors—located primarily in the heart
Beta2-adrenergic receptors—located in smooth muscle of the bronchioles, arterioles, and visceral organs
Examples of conditions treated by Adrenergic agonists
Alpha 1- nasal congestion, hypotension, and mydriasis.
Alpha 2- Hypertension
Beta 1- cardiac arrest, heart failure and shock. Sometimes called cardiotonic or inotropic because they increase the force of contraction of the heart
Beta 2- Asthma - relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle (bronchodilators)
What do you think some Common side effects of adrenergic drugs, like epinephrine, include?
- Headache
- ## Nausea
Prototype- Phenylephrine
Selective only affects the alpha1 receptors
Used during hypotension or for nasal congestion
Has few cardiac side effects
Make blood pressure go up
Adrenergic Antagonists (Blockers)
Bind to adrenergic receptors, but inhibit or block stimulation of the ____Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system___
________-blockers and ________-blockers
Ap
Cause vasodilation which results in decreased __Blood pressure
Adverse effects Alpha- Blockers
Most common orthostatic hypotension especially at the beginning of treatment this is called ____First dose phenomenon_____ _______________
Beta-Blockers
Beta-Receptors
When you think of the most common action of Beta blockers, what do you think would be a common adverse effect?
- Hypotension
- Reduced heart rate
- Reduce blood pressure
How could you try and prevent this?
- Check blood pressure and heart rate before giving the medication
