26
What will an adrenergic blocker do to the airway
Broncoconstriction
27
What does a chronotropic drug do
It effects the heart RATE
28
What does a dromotropic drug do
It effects the CONDUCTION of the heart
29
What does a inotropic drug do

30
Why is it important to vasoconstrict when using the sympathic nervous system
It increases the BP which forces blood to the ORGANS

33
What are adrenergic blockers
They inhibit the SYMPATHETIC nervous system
34
What are sympatholytic drugs
They inhibit the SYMPATHETIC nervous system
35
What type of effect do sympatholytic drugs have
A cholinergic effect
36
What are cholinergics drugs
They mimic the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system
37
What are parasympathomimetics
They mimic the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system
38
What are anticholinergics
They inhibit the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system
39
What are parasympatholytics
They inhibit the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system
40
Can medications be more focused on one system (nervous system)
Yes
41
What is another name for a muscarinic
Cholinergic agonist
42
What system does bethanechol focus on
The bladder
43
When is bethanechol used
After surgeries to make you PEE
44
What type of drug is bethanechol

46
Your pt is on a cholinergic agonist drug, should they have mushrooms
No, it could cause cardiovascular collapse
47
What type of drug is atropine
A cholinergic antagonist
48
What is the therapeutic use of atropine
A PREANESTETIC to prevent a dangerous drop in HR
49
What is the antibote to muscarinic poisoning
Atropine
