Question
Answer
Bethanechol class, MOA   direct acting muscarinic agonist, cholinergic effect. doesnt cross BBB  
🗑
Bethanechol used for   (post op) urinary retention, ileus bowel obstruction, abdominal distention  
🗑
how doe we treat muscarinc overdose   admin a muscarinic antagonist such as atropine  
🗑
Atropine class, MOA   muscarinic antagonist, crosses BBB  
🗑
atropine indications   (preop)pre-anesthetic to prevent brady, tx eye disorders-mydriasis, tx brady, asthma (bronchodil)  
🗑
SEs of bethanachol   cholinergic SwSLUDV BBHHM  
🗑
SEs of atropine   anticholinergic - opposite of SwSLUDV BBHHM  
🗑
Dosing feature of atropine - low to high   low dose --> decreased secretions, increased HR High dose --> bronchodil, decreased stomach acid secretions  
🗑
other use for muscarinic antagonists   OAB overactive bladder  
🗑
action of a AChEI is synonomus with   same as a cholinergic agonist (these are indirect acting cholinergics)  
🗑
3 reversible AChEIs   neostigmine, pyridostigmine, ambenonium  
🗑
neostigimine   reversible AChE inhibitor- oral/IV  
🗑
pyridostigmine   reversible AChE inhibitor-oral  
🗑
ambenonium   reversible AChE inhibitor - oral  
🗑
what are AChEIs indicated for   tx of myasthania gravis  
🗑
what is myasthania crisis   undermedicated, too little ACh-->profound muscle weakness, resp paralysis  
🗑
what is cholinergic crisis   overmedicated AChEI or cholinergic agonist. Too much ACH --> profound muscle weakness, cholinergic SEs (overstim receptors now unresponsive), tx with muscarinic antagonist atropine  
🗑
Two classes of Nm blocking agents   non-depolarizine, depolarizing  
🗑
Indications of Nm blocking agents   want to paralyze pt --> pre-op, intubation, ventilation  
🗑
non-depoarlizing MOA (used most frequently)   blocks ACh at Nm  
🗑
name 5 non-depolarizing Nm blocking agents   atracurium, cistracurium, pancuronium, rocuronium, vercuronium  
🗑
SEs of non-depolarizing Nm blocking agents   unusual HypoTN bwo histamine release-->vasodil. body compensates tachy, some dysrhythmias. Respiratory muscle paralysis  
🗑
atracurium   non-depolarizing Nm blocking agent  
🗑
cistracurium   non-depolarizing Nm blocking agent  
🗑
pancuronium   non-depolarizing Nm blocking agent  
🗑
rocuronium   non-depolarizing Nm blocking agent  
🗑
vecuronium   non-depolarizing Nm blocking agent  
🗑
MOA of depolarizing Nm blocker   sustained depolarization at Nm --> initial short phase contraction-->fatigue bwo receptor exhaustion  
🗑
depolarizing Nm blocker indications   this ultra-short acting drug for pre-op intubation  
🗑
Name a depolarizing Nm blocker   succinylcholine  
🗑
