Exam 2: NMB, Reversals Flashcards
(215 cards)
how many tof twitches need to be present before reversal drug is administered
1-2
what should tofr be to meet extubation criteria
0.7 or 0.9 depending on study
how long should tetany be to meet extubation criteria
5 seconds sustained at 50 hz
what are 2 other signs patient is a ready for extubation
strong constant hand grip
5 second head lift
what vital capacity suggests recovery from nmb
15ml/kg
what inspiratory force suggests recovery from nmb
-25-30 cmh2o
>-40
what is the goal of reversal drugs
maximize nicotinic transmission
minimize muscarinic SE
how many minutes need to be given for anticholinesterase inhibitors to fully antagonize nmb
15-30 min
what term is defined as a tofr less than 0.9
residual NMB
what is a drug class that can hinder the action of reversal agents thus prolonging nmb’s
aminoglycoside abx
what are three electrolyte imbalances that can influence reversal agents
hypermagnesemia
hypocalcemia
hypokalemia
besides certain drugs and electrolyte imbalances, what can affect reversal agents
depth of block at time of reversal
clearance/half life of reversal
resp acidosis
hypothermia
what can giving an excessive dose of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor cause
paradoxical muscle weakness
t or f- make sure to adjust dose of both ache inhibitors and nmb in patient with renal failure
f- do not adjust since doa of both is affected
t or f- neostigmine will take longer to reach peak effect with 90% twitch suppression when compared to 50% twitch suppression
true
t or f- ache inhibitors do not have a synergistic effect
false
Additive
how long can residual paralysis occur for after intermediate nmb
4 hrs
what is the term for when adequate dose of reversal is given, but blockade is re-established because reversal gets metabolized faster than nmb drug
recurarization
which receptors does ach agonize
nicotinic
muscarinic
which receptor do nondepolarizing agents antagonize
nicotinic receptors
which receptor does atropine/scopolamine/glycopyrrolate antagonize
muscarinic
what are two locations of nicotinic receptors
autonomic ganglia
skeletal muscle
what are two locations of muscarinic receptors
glands
smooth muscle (gi/bladder/bronchial)
heart
what drugs block muscarinic receptors
atropine, glycopyrolate
