22
Q

NMB OF CHOICE FOR RAPID SEQUENCE INDUCTION

A

SUCCINYLCHOLINE

23
Q

MOA: SUCCINYLCHOLINE

A

Agonist at ACh N receptors causing initial twitch then persistent depolarization

24
Q

PHASES OF DEPOLARIZING BLOCKADE

A

Phase 1 DEPOLARIZATION
membrane depolarizes with initial electric discharge

transient fasciculations followed by flaccid paralysis

Phase 2 DESENSITIZATION
membrane repolarizes but receptor is desensitized to the effects of ACh
