80
Q

What are the similarities & differences of Atropine & Glycopyrrolate?

A

Anticholinergics = non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonists
 Parasympatholytic drugs = block PSNS effects
 Both increase heart rate, & decrease GI motility & oral secretions
 Atropine = M1, M2, M3
 Very selective for muscarinic, little effect on nicotinic receptors
 Sedative & ocular (mydriatic) effects
- produces drowsiness and potentiates effects of CNS depressant drugs because it crosses BBB
- crosses placenta
- duration of action: 60-90 mins
 Glycopyrrolate = synthetic quaternary ammonium
 No sedative or ocular effects
 4x as potent as atropine
 Absorption, metabolism, excretion like atropine-in urine
 Safer than atropine for treatment of intra-op bradycardia
o Does not cross placenta or BBB hence devoid of fetal or CNS effects
o duration of action 2-4 hours

81
Q

What is mechanism of action of Albuterol?

A

o B2 adrenergic agonist
o Inhibits tracheal smooth muscle contraction resulting in bronchodilation
o Decreases release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells
o Increase mucociliary clearance
o Side effects: sweating, muscle tremors, excitement
o REMEMBER that under GA bronchodilators have the effect of increasing anatomic dead space!!

82
Q
