Exam 4 Review Flashcards
Most common nerve and muscle monitored are:
Ulnar nerve
Adductor Pollicis muscle of the hand
Most common muscle monitored
Adductor Pollicis
What does dibucaine test for?
Test for atypical psuedocholinesterase
Accelomyography is used for what?
Monitoring
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors work by
inhibiting AChE…. hydrolysis
What are side effects of cholenergic agents?
SLUDGE-M
Come from muscurinic AND cholinergic!
What is the ceiling effect?
After the max dose there is no more AChE at the junction to inhibit.
So neostigmine and edriphonium will not work with a deep block.
REVERSAL IN DEEP BLOCKADE LEADS TO FURTHER BLOCKADE
Reversal of NM blockade depends on what? (4)
Depth of NM block
AChE inhibitor of choice
Dose administered
Anesthesia agent of choice
Scenario: the patient has 0/4 twitches, what should we do?
Decrease the MAC since the patient has 0/4 twitches.
WAIT to give the reversal!
What is the DOA of edrophonium?
5-15 min
Scenario:
The patient is developing recurarization with vecuronium and was reversed with edrophonium. Why is this happening?
The DOA for edrophonium is not long enough! (only 5-15 min)
LTA (laryngotracheal anesthesia)
The black line should be at the vocal chords (the larynx)
Ooops! We gave a renal patient neostigmine! What will happen?
Neostigmine will be metabolised by the liver (30-50%) if there is no renal function.
Pulmonary side effects of Neostigmine and Edrophonium?
Brochoconstriction
AND
Increased airway resistance
Dose 4 mg neostigmine - if we want to give 100% glycopyrolate, how much do we give?
0.8 mg (4 mL)
Which anticholenergic is best for an MI patient?
Glycopyrrolate (slow over 2 min)
Persistant NM blockade… pesky guy… why isn’t my ACh working?
No further anticholenesterase is effective because there is only a finite amount of ACh available at the junction.
Which reversal is highly water soluble?
Sugammadex
What is the primary route of elimination for sugammadex?
urine
Where dose sugammadex work?
binds to free drug in the PLASMA
Which patients can recieve sugammadex?
Which patients cannot?
OK for deep block and cirrhosis patients
NOT ok for renal or bleed
What is the first treatment for recurarization?
Supplemental O2
What is added with epi to prevent oxidation of LA?
Sodium bisulfite
What is the DOA of chloroprocaine?
30-45 min
least/lowest/fastest DOA
Compare protein binding of Procaine, Lidocaine, and Bupivacaine (rank from least to most binding)
Procaine = 6
Lidocaine = 70
Bupivacaine = 95
Which is a rapid amide?
Lidocaine
What is the max dose of Lidocaine for spinal?
100 mg
What is the max bupivacaine (w/epi) dose?
175 –> 225
What is the max Lidocaine (w/ epi) dose?
300 –> 500
Most important components of:
Potency
DOA
Onset
Potency = lipid solubility
DOA = protein binding
Onset = pK
Where does LA bind?
INNER gate of sodium channel
How does LA MOA work?
No sodium comes in so the cell doesn’t reach threshold and can’t fire action potentials
What is blocked first?
Preganglionic B fibers –> fastest because they are SNS fibers
Highest blood concentration for uptake of LA
IV > TRACHEAL > caudal > paracervical > epidural > brachial > sciatic > SQ
