Anticholinergic and Antimuscarinic Drugs

        Help!  

Question
Answer
An agent that blocks parasympathetic nervous fibers is called   anticholinergic bronchodilator  
🗑
An agent that produces the effect of acetylcholine is called   cholinergic  
🗑
An agent that blocks parasympathetic nervous fibers,which allow relaxation of the smooth muscle in the airway,is called a(n)   parasympatholytic  
🗑
____________ is the same as cholnergic,producing the effect of acetylcholine or an agent that mimics acetylcholine.   muscarinic  
🗑
The word____________ has the same meaning as anticholinergic:blocking the effect of acetylcholine at the cholinergic site   antimuscarinic bronchodilator  
🗑
A __________ agent produces effects similar to those of parasympathetic nervous fiber   parasympathomimetic  
🗑
Two anticholinergic bronchodilators that are indicated for maintenance and treatment of COPD,Chronic Bronchitis,and Emphysema   ipatropium bromide(Atrovent) and albuterol. "Combivent"  
🗑
The drug used in severe asthma,especially bronchoconstriction that doesn't respond well to B-agonist therapy   ipatropium  
🗑
Brand name for: tiotropium bromide Onset:? Peak:? Duration:? Dosage:(or puffs)? Administration(s):   spiriva Onset:30min. Peak:3hrs. Duration:24hrs. Dosage:1 inhalation (one capsule) Administration(s): DPI  
🗑
Brand name for: ipatropium bromide Onset:? Peak:? Duration:? Dosage:(or puffs)? Administration(s):   atrovent Onset:15min. Peak:1-2hrs. Duration:4-6hrs. Dosage:(puffs)2 qid Administration(s):MDI Atrovent HFA Administrations: HFA MDI SVN NASAL SPRAY (2 sprays per nostril 2 to 4 times daily)  
🗑
Brand name for: ipatropium bromide and albuterol Onset:? Peak:? Duration:? Dosage:(or puffs)? Administration(s):   combivent & duoneb Onset:15min. Peak:1-2hrs. Duration:4-6hrs. Dosage:(puffs)2 qid Administration(s): MDI(Combivent) SVN(Duoneb)  
🗑
Ipatropium is a derivative of   atropine  
🗑
Atropine is a _____________ ____________ and fully ionized,and is therefore readily absorbed into the bloodstream,is distributed through out the body,crosses the blood-brain barrier,and causes changes in CNS   quaternary ammonium  
🗑
Cholinergic effects:   decreased heart rate miosis( eye dilation) thickening of the lens SLUD secretion of mucus bronchoconstriction  
🗑
Anticholinergic effects:   increased heart rate mydriasis(pupil dilation) cycloplegia (lens flattened) drying upper airway no tear formation urinary retention constipation mucociliary slowing inhubition of constriction  
🗑
The most common side effects seen with anticholinergic aerosol ipatropium are ___________ and_____________.   dry mouth and blurred vision  
🗑
Currently the major use for Atropine sulfate is for   bradycardia  
🗑
Two terms synonymous "parasympatholytic" are   antimuscarinic and anticholinergic  
🗑
In COPD,what two conditions restrict airflow?   bronchoconstriction and increased mucus production  
🗑
Bradycardia is often caused by stimulation of the __________ nerve.   vagas  
🗑
Why wouldn't Atropine work for someone with a heart transplant?   because they must have a vagal connection,this which is lost during transplantation, in return will leave no stimulation to the heart of the new owner.  
🗑
What is rhinitis?   inflammation of the nasal passage  
🗑
Why is atrovent used to treat rhinitis?   is reduces nasal activity (constricts mucus glands)  
🗑
What are two desirable pulmonary effects of delivery of parasympatholytic agents?   decreased bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation  
🗑
The main desired effect of antimuscarinic drugs are   bronchodilation  
🗑
ipatropium bromide(atrovent) has what two general indications?   COPD with airway obstruction and rhinorrhea  
🗑
_____________ is a drug often given to help diagnose asthma   methacholine  
🗑
During a "certain drug" challenge(to diagnose asthma), a physician need to be available in short notice. Why?   Patient could go into severe bronchospasm  
🗑
When giving anticholinergics SVN, the patient must be sure to not get it in the eye,ESPECIALLY if the have glaucoma. Why?   Glaucoma is a condition that causes pressure and fluid in the eye. An anticholinergic will increase the pressure already existing in the eye.  
🗑
What maneuver should be tested before and after administration of a rapid action albuterol?   peak flow  
🗑
How do you assess effectiveness in therapy given to a patient?   1.)peak flow 2.)auscultations 3.)patient response  
🗑
