Q

Reversal of NMJ blockade is dependent on these 5 factors:

A
  1. Depth of block
  2. Drug choice (neo vs edro)

Q

If you’re concerned about someone’s cardiac status due to existing disease, which Anticholinergic drug would you use?

A

Glycopyrrolate - anticholinergic with minimal cardiac effects. It does not cross blood brain barrier, so it is less likely to cause tachycardia, but it does prevent bradycardia

17
Q

What NMBD(s) is atropine used with?

A

Edrophonium

18
Q

What is the dose of Atropine?

A

7 - 10 mcg/kg

19
Q

What common side effects are seen right after atropine administration?

A
  • Mydriasis
  • Tachycardia
20
Q

What is the maximum dose of glycopyrrolate?

A

1mg max dose

21
Q

How long does glycopyrrolate need to be administered over?

A

2 - 5 min

22
Q

What reversal drug is specific to mivacurium?

A

Purified human plasma cholinesterase

23
Q

What reversal drug is specific to gantacurium?

A

Cystiene

24
Q

What reversal drug is very specific to rocuronium?

A

Sugammadex

25
Q

What type of drug is sugammadex?

A

Selective relaxant-binding agent

26
Q

What should be known about sugammadex’s organic structure and physical properties?

A
  • γ-cyclodextrin
  • Dextrose units from starch
  • Very H₂O-soluble
27
Q

What is the MOA of Sugammadex?

A

Encapsulates rocuronium via:

  • Van der Waals forces
  • H-bonds
  • Hydrophobic interactions
28
Q

What drugs does sugammadex work with?

A

Roc > Vec > Pancuronium

29
Q

What is the E ½ time of sugammadex?

A

2 hours

30
Q

How is sugammedex eliminated?

A

Urine:

  • 70% gone in 6 hours
  • 90% gone in 24 hours
31
Q

Differentiate a moderate block vs a deep block.

A
  • Moderate: 2/4 twitches on TOF
  • Deep: No twitches to TOF
32
Q

What is the Sugammadex dose for a moderate block?

A

2 mg/kg

33
Q

What is the Sugammadex dose for a deep block?

A

4 mg/kg

34
Q

What is the sugammadex dose for an extreme (overdose) block?

A

8 - 16 mg/kg

35
Q

What are the side effects of Sugammadex?

A
  • Bradycardia
  • dose-related N/V
  • dose-related Pruritis
  • dose-related Urticaria
  • Anaphylaxis
36
Q

What drugs/conditions are relative contraindications to sugammadex?

A
  • Contraceptives (binds them for 7 days)
  • Toremifene (selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) displaces roc from sugammadex)
  • Coagulopathy
  • ESRD (excreted renally)
37
Q

What is recurarization?

A

Resumption of NMJ blockade after period of reversal

38
Q

What s/s would indicate recurarization?

Say you just brought the patient to PACU.

A
  • ↓ SpO₂
  • ↓ respiratory effort
  • Floppy/uncoordinated
  • Unresponsive
39
Q

What drug and dose would be a good choice for a recurarizing patient in the PACU?
Why might this be a good choice?

A
  • Neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg IV
  • Longer duration of action
