Autonomics-1.8

Pharmocology-Autonomics1.8/NMB's(Nm)

QuestionAnswer
NMB structure/chemistry? quaternary ammonium groups, bind to alpha subunit of cholinergic receptors at NMJ. Poor oral absorption and aviods CNS penetration
Succinylcholine structure? 2 Ach molecules, flexible structure
Benzylisoquinoline derivatives structure? bulky, rigid (Tubocurarine, mivacurarium)
Aminosteroidal compounds structure? bulky, rigid structure (pancuronium, vacuronium)
two types of MOA for NMB? depolarizing noncompetative, non-depolarizing competative
D/NC NMB prototype? succinylcholine
succinylcholine? binds Ach receptor cause persistant depolarization of NM endplate. Hydrolysis is slower by pseudocholinesterase so longer depolarization and breif excitation may elicit fasciculations
D/NC phase I block, phase II block and dual block? I: initial phase followed my block of transmission and flacid paralysis, II: D to Nondepolarizing, secondary to desensitization and return potential to nml. duel: simultaneous phaseI and phaseII block during use of succinylcholine
ND/C NMB prototypes? tubocurarine, pancuronium (also metocurine, vecuromium, Atracurium)
tubocurarine, pancuronium? bind postsynaptic receptor and compete with Ach to prevent binding resulting in block. They can be reversed with a AchE inhibitor (neostigmine)
what is a AchE inhibitor? neostigmine
NMB effects on autonomic ganglia? in ganglia and adrenal medulla, partial block may lead to hypotension and/or tachycardia
NMB effects on Muscarinic receptors? vagolytic action: tachycardia.
succinylcholine may have what effect on muscarinic receptors? vagal stimulation producing bradycardia or sympathetic ganglia stimulation causing hypertension and tachycardia
atracurium and cisatracurium elimination? hoffmann elmination; spontaneous degredation in the plasma
mivacurium duration of action? short due to plasma cholinesterases
ND/C pharmacodynamics? rapid onset of blockade; flacid paralysis, first affected small rapid moving muscles (head/neck) ultimately respiratory
distribution of NMB? approximate ECF, breif duration of paralysis is due to initial dose and when doses repeated, tissues become saturated and metabolism and excretion influence duration of action
Excretion of NMB? metabolized by plasma cholinesterases are short acting. Other routes are longer acting.
Patient Factors? doses for obese patients based on lean body mass. Neonates require more NMB due to receptor immaturity. Elderly require less.
pharmocodynamics of ND NMB? motor weakness then flacid paralysis of the small rapidly moving muscles (eye) followed by limbs, neck and trunk
pharmocodynamics of D NMBs? succinlylcholine evokes transient fasciculations over the chest and abdomen, then will affect the neck, arms, and leg muscles. Slight facial involvment.
CV effects of NMB? vagolytic, ganglionic blockade. Hypotension due to peripherial dilation from histamine release and sympathetic ganglionic block.
NMB on CNS? no signifigant effect, can increase IC pressure for unknown reason (assoc with succ)
effects of tubocurarine in CV? hypotension secondary to histamine release and block ganglia
effects of pancuronium in CV? cause dose dependent tachycardia and HTN from vagolytic effects and block reuptake of NE.
effects of succinylcholine in CV? brady or tachydysrythmias. Similar to Ach and induced catacholamine release. (succinylcholine is agonist/antagonist)
when succinylcholine is contraindicated? nodal or ventricular cardiac arrythmias
muscle faciculation in NMB? can prevent with ND NMB
hyperkalemia in NMB? succinylcholine can cause efflux and transient elevation in serum K.
succinylcholine with hyperkalemia contraindicated in NMB? burn pts, acute neurologic, severe intraabdominal infections, cardiac arrythmia, skeletal muscle atrophy
what other effects can NMB have? hyperkalemia, muscle faciculations, masseter muscle ridigity, inc IOC pressure (aviod in open eye injury and some glaucoma), inc IC pressure, malignant hyperthermia, profound long-lasting muscle atropy (assoc with large dose chronic use)
drugs that enhance NMB? anesthetics act synergistically with ND NMB. Aminoglycoside antibiotics inhibit Ach release to produce NMB. Ca channel blocker enhance D and ND NMB.
what drugs antagonize NMB? Ca with a AchE inhibitor antagonizes aminoglycoside antibiotics, AchE inhibitors alone, Ca salts to antagonize Ca chanel blockers.
Reversal of NMB? AchE inhibitors, also cause excessive salivation, inc GI motility, bradycardia. Should be given with atropine or glycopyrrolate to antagonize Ach muscarinic effects.
AchE inhibitors? neostigmine and pyridostigmine, but too much will lead to excessive Ach release and prolonged depolarization
therapudic use of NMB? adjuvent to general or local anesthesia for skeletal muscle relaxation, facilitate tracheal muscle intubation, long term mechanical ventilation, rapid control of epilepticus
