Reversal Associated Dosages Flashcards
Narcan (alternate name):
Naloxone
Narcan structure:
Derivative of Oxymorphone
Narcan MOA:
Competitive agonist of all opioid receptors
Greatest for Mu
Narcan Onset:
2 min
Narcan Duration of action:
20-60 min
Narcan PB:
60%
Narcan Metabolism:
Rapidly metabolized by the liver, has very high clearance
Narcan IV adult Dose:
IV Adult: 0.4 - 2 mg
(repeat as needed)
Narcan IV peds Dose:
IV peds: 0.1 mg/kg (max 2mg)
(repeat as needed)
Narcan Side effects:
- Reversal of opioids
- increased resp drive
- increased BP

5.
Sugammadex (alternate name):
Bridion
Sugammadex Structure:
Gamma cyclodextrin (selective relaxant-binding agent)
Sugammadex MOA:
- Hydrophobic cavity
- Encapsulates the steroid NMB (specifically roc)
- Forms a complex that cannot have an effect on receptors or acetylcholinesterase
- Highly water soluble
Sugammadex Onset:
1-2 min
Sugammadex duration of action:
2-16 hr
Sugammadex PB:
0%
Sugammadex Metabolism:
Really excreted unchanged (80%)
Sugammadex IV dose:
IV: 2 mg/kg (TOF 2-4)
IV: 4 mg/kg (TOF 0-1)
IV: 16 mg/kg (1.2 mg/kg RSI reversal)
Sugammadex side effects:
- Bradycardia
- Nausea
- Headache
- Hepatic stable
- Potential asystole
Sugammadex Contraindications / cautions
- Birth control pills ineffective for 1 week
- Caution in renal disease
- Known hypersensitivity
- If need to reintubate, use a different NMB
- Ensure adequate reversal before extubation: head lift 5 secs, spontaneous ventilation, eye opening, hand grip, cough/gag reflex, leg raise
Glycopyrrolate (alternate name):
Robinul
Glycopyrrolate structure:
Anticholinergic
Quaternary ammonium
Glycopyrrolate MOA:
- Block muscarinic receptors
- Not nicotinic so that NMB can be antagonized while muscarinic effects are minimized
- blocks parasympathetic effects
Glycopyrrolate Onset:
2 min
Glycopyrrolate duration of action:
2-6 hr
Glycopyrrolate PB:
40%
Glycopyrrolate metabolism:
Small amount metabolized by liver and kidneys
Glycopyrrolate IV dose:
0.6-1 mg (equal volume to anticholinesterase)
Glycopyrrolate side effects (same as other anticholinergics):
- Bronchodilation
- Decrease PONV
- Dry mouth
- Pupil dilation
- Increase HR
Glycopyrrolate Contraindications / cautions:
- Give prior to anticholinesterase
- Adjust dose if already tachycardic
- Mix with equal volume of anticholinesterase
- Tachycardia may be seen when administered with pyridostigmine b/c of its slow onset
- Does not cross BBB
- Overdose: mad as a hatter (confusion), blind as a bat (mydriasis), hot as a hare (no sweating), dry as a bone (dry mouth), red as a beet (flushing), full as a flask (urinary retention) (can’t see, pee, spit, or shit)
Atropine (alternate name):
Atropen
Atropine structure:
Anticholinergic
Tertiary amine
Atropine MOA:
- Competitively bind to the Ach receptor
- prevents cGMP or cAMP mediated effects
Atropine Onset:
1 min
Atropine duration of action:
1-2 hr
