Doses of Atropine & Glycopyrrolate to give with Anticholinesterase drugs (Neostigmine, Edrophonium, Pyridostigmine)
- Atropine 0.015mg/kg
- Glycopyrrulate 0.01mg/kg
What is Sugammedex & how dose it work
- A modified y-cyclodextrine that forms tight, 1:1 bonds with aminosteroid relaxants
- Concentration gradient causes aminosteroidal NMBD to detach from nicotinic Ach receptors and return to plasma for encapsulation
What drug class/ structure WON’T Sugammedex work on
benzylisoquinolinium
What drugs will Sugammedex work on
-Aminosteroids (Rocuronium, Vecuronium, Pancuronium)
What will be the benefit of Sugammedex
Rapid results without side effects or need for anticholinergics
How much Glycopyrrulate (Robinul) for each 1mg of Neostigmine or 5mg of Pyrid?
0.2mg
Define Myasthenia Gravis
AUTOIMMUNE process that decreases FUNCTIONAL nicotinic receptors on endplate. (Not the amount of receptors). There are less places for Ach to bind. Causes weakness. Treated with anticholinesterase drugs.
