Q

Reversal of NMJ blockade is dependent on these 5 factors:

A
  1. Depth of block
  2. Drug choice (neo vs edro)
  3. Dose
  4. Rate of plasma clearance of NMDB
  5. Anesthetic agent and depth

A

7 - 10 mcg/kg

19

Range 7-15mcg/kg
1mg max dose

21
Q

22
Q

What reversal 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 (Bridion)

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:

  • Intermolecular (Van der Walls forces)
  • thermodynamic (Hydrogen 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
  • E1/2: 2 hours
  • OOA: 1-4 minutes
  • DOA: 1.5-3 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 or reach 1-2 posttetanic count
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
  • dose-related N/V
  • dose-related Pruritis
  • dose-related Urticaria
  • anaphylaxis (rare)
  • Bradycardia
36
Q

What drugs/conditions are relative contraindications to sugammadex?

A
  • Contraceptives (binds with progesterone 7 days)
  • Toremifene (displaces roc from sugammadex)
  • Coagulopathy/bleeding (Heparin/LMWH; elevated PTT, PT, INR)
  • recurarization (at lower doses then recommended)

Renal impairment “ESRD” (excreted renally) = absolute C/I with dialysis

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 (60min)
