Respiratory Pharmacology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Topical Anesthetic for Sneezing | provaricane lidocaine + bicarbonate |
| Peripherally Acting Cough Suppressants | mucosal anesthetics (cough drops) demulcents (syrups) bronchodilators |
| Centrally Acting Cough Suppressants | antihistamines - diphenhydramine, benadryl non-narcotic antitussives - dextromethorphan narcotic antitussives - codeine, hydrocodone narcotic agonist/antagonist - butorphanol |
| Leukotriene Inhibitors for Inflammation | zafirlukast - Accolate montelukast - Singulair tepoxalin - Zubrin |
| Decrease Pulmonary Capillary Pressure | morphine (decreases preload) furosemide (decreases preload & produces local PG in lung) (methylxanthines) |
| Decrease Severe Pulmonary Hypertension | oxygen sildenafil (Viagra) (prostacyclin, bosentan (Tracleer), calcium channel blockers) |
| Mixed Adrenergic Agonist for Bronchodilation | epinephrine |
| Mixed Beta Adrenergic Agonist for Bronchodilation | isoproterenol |
| Beta-2 Adrenergic Agonist for Bronchodilation | terbutaline albuterol metaproterenol clenbuterol metaproterenol |
| Methylxanthines | bronchodilation (not as good as beta-2) theophylline (aminophylline is IV form) |
| Decreases Half-Life of Theophylline | phenobarbitol |
| Increases Half-Life of Theophylline | fluoroquinolones cimetidine erythromycin propranolol |
| Anti-cholindergic Drugs | bronchodilation too many side effects to routinely used |
| Stimulates Tubulo-Acinar Glands | saline expectorants or glyceryl guaiacolate (human) volatile oils NOT cholinergics |
| Chemically Cleaves Mucus Disulfide Bonds | nebulized acetyl cysteine |
| Increase Surfactant Production | dexamethasone, betamethasone to dam >36hrs before birth exogenous surfactants intubated into neonate otherwise |
| Control Respiratory Rate and Character | analeptic agents - doxapram narcotics - morphine |
| May Cause Bronchospasm Side Effect | cholinergics, anticholinesterase propranolol, aspirin |
| May Dry Out Respiratory Trct | anticholinergics antihistamines |
| May Cause Pulmonary Edema | cisplatin splats cats fluids overload |
| May Cause Pneumonitis | bromide overdose |
