Sweatman Ganglionic Blockers Flashcards

1
Q

Ganglionic blockers function by target…

A

antagonists of cholinergic Nicotinic (Nn) receptors

*this in entirely seperate from muscarinic antagonism

Q

is trimethaphan widely used

A

no ganglionic blockers have been replaced by Rx’s in the tx of HTN with more specificity and less global effects on ANS

Q

Neurotransmitter in preganglion for sympathetic

A

Q

predominant tone in the heart

A

parasympathetic (cholinergeric)

17
Q

effect of ganglionic blockade on heart

A

tachycardia

*loss of PS tone

18
Q

result of ligand binding to Nicotinic receptor

A

opening of Na and K channels and DEPOLARIZATION

19
Q

MOA FOR TRIMETHAPHAN and Mecylamine

A

compete with endogenous Ach for Nn receptor binding

*thereby tempering parasympathetic stimulation of postganglionic neurone

20
Q

Adverse effect of ganglionic blockers

A

postural hypotension, tachycardia (loss of PS tone on the heart), arrhythmias

21
Q

ancient ganglionic blocker that is no longer used

A

hexamathonium
