Block I And II Review Flashcards
(117 cards)
Where are Nm receptors found
Somatic skeletal muscle
Where does succinylcholine work
Nm receptors on skeletal muscle
Bethanechol
- bowels and bladder
- used for pts with urinary retention and gastric atony
- M agonist
Pyridostigmine
- Tx for MG
- works on No receptor
- doesn’t enter CNS, no convulsions
- Achase inhibitors
Autoimmune disease where Ab to the Na receptors are produced; it causes weakness in skeletal muscles especially in the facial area
MG
Toxicity of Achase inhibitors
DUMBBEELSS: diarrhea, urination, miosis, bronchoconstriction, bradycardia, excitation (of skeletal muscle and CNS), emesis, lacrimation, salivation, and sweating
Toxicity resembles too much parasympathetic stimulation + sweating + nicotinic effects
Treatment for Achase inhibitors
Atropine
-blocks M, doesn’t stop any Nm
Pralidoxime used in extreme cases to keep diaphragm from stoping
Atropine
- M blocker
- belladonna alkaloid
- central and PNS
- used for Achase inhibitor poisoning
Tropicamide
- shorter half life
- dilated eye exam
- M blocker
Succinylcholine
- Nm blocker that persistently stimulates skeletal muscle until it causes paralysis (depolarizing)
- can cause hyperkalemia
- can cause malignant hyperthermia
Epi
- a1,a2,B1,B2 agonist
- low dose: beta, decrease BP
- high doses: alpha, increase BP
- used for anaphylaxis
Phenylephrine
A1 agonist
- increases BP, reflex Brady
- dilated eye exam
- nasal decongestant
Prazosin
- blocks a1a receptors
- used for BPH and HTN
- may cause orthostatic hypotension and reflex tachy
No specific B blockers
N-Zolols
-bad for COPD and vasospatic angina
B1 specific blockers
A-Molols
-atenolol and metoprolol
Alpha 1 and B blockers
Labetolol and carvedolol
Sotalol
B blocker, K channel blocker
Clinical uses of B blockers
Glaucoma HTN (2nd line) CHF (1st line) SVTs Stable angina
Vasospastic angina and B blockers
Never use!
What is the best combo for CHF
ACEI and BBlocker
Adverse effects of B blockers
- bronchoconstriction
- hypotension, bradycardia, fatigue, drowsiness
- increased plasma lipids;TGs and LDLs
What drugs for HTN increase lipids?
B blockers and Thiazieds
Which drugs could cause increased GI motility
Bethanechol
Pyridostigmine
Which drugs could decrease GI motility
Atropine
Tropicamide
