Reversal Agents - Quiz 8 Flashcards
What happens to the Heart with SNS Stimulation?
↑HR
↑Conduction Velocity
↑Automaticity
↑Contractility
What happens to the Heart with PNS Stimulation?
↓HR
↓Conduction Velocity
↓Contractility (Slight)
What happens to Bronchial Smooth Muscles with SNS Stimulation and PNS Stimulation?
SNS: Relaxation
PNS: Contraction
What happens to Sphincters w/ SNS & PNS Stimulation?
SNS: Contraction
PNS: Relaxation
What happens to the Uterus & Ureters w/ SNS & PNS Stimulation?
SNS: Contraction
PNS: Relaxation
How does SNS Stimulation affect the Liver?
Glycogenolysis & Gluconeogenesis
How does PNS Stimulation affect the Liver?
Glycogen Synthesis
What happens to the Pancreas w/ SNS & PNS Stimulation?
SNS: ↓B-Cell Secretion
PNS: ↑B-Cell Secretion
How are the Salivary & Sweat Glands affected by SNS & PNS Stimulation?
↑Secretions
(More Salivary Secretions w/ PNS)
How are all Arterioles affected by SNS & PNS Stimulation?
SNS: Constriction
PNS: Relaxation
(Beta SNS Stimulation of Coronary Arterioles = Relaxation)
Which Anticholinesterase Drug is classified as a Tertiary Amine?
Physostigmine
Which Anticholinesterase Drugs are classified as Quaternary Ammoniums?
Edrophonium
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
How does SNS & PNS Stimulation affect the Eyes?
SNS: Mydriasis
PNS: Miosis
How does Neostigmine, Pyridostigmine, & Physostigmine increase ACh Availability?
They get hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase, which then carbamylates and blocks the enzyme’s ability to hydrolyze ACh
Which Reversal Agent forms magnetic/electrostatic bond that reversibly causes Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition?
Edrophonium
What happens if you give Reversal Agents without there being any NMBs?
Overflow of ACh = fasciculations/muscle twitches
Can look like a Phase I NMB Block
What is the Onset of Action for Edrophonium?
1-2 minutes
How does Neostigmine compare to Edrophonium?
More Profound & Potent than Edrophonium
Slower Onset: 7-11 Min
What is the Duration of Action for all of the Reversal Agents?
1-2 Hrs
What determines the Potency of Reversal Agents?
- The NMB being reversed
- Speed of Spont. Recovery
- Depth of Block when Reversal given
- End Point
Once anticholinergic enzymes are completely blocked by the reversal agent, how does re-dosing effect patient’s recovery?
No benefits = keep patient sedated & intubated until spont recovery
What factors can slow down NMB Reversal?
Hypothermia
ABX
Acidosis
Hypokalemia
