Q

Romazicon (Flumazenil)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • GABAa receptor antagonist

- Used to treat benzodiazepine overdose

19
Q

Servoflurane

Study These Flashcards
A

Nonpungent;

  • has low solubility, but not as soluble as Nitrous, but has a 2% MAC

Used at anesthesia induction at 4-8%,

  • will depress myocardial contractility ,depress respiration, reverse bronchoconstriction

Metabolized by p450

20
Q

Triazolam

Study These Flashcards
A

Halcion

Benzo, used for anxiolysis

21
Q

Furosemide

Study These Flashcards
A

Tx: Hypertension

  • Loop Diuretic
  • Inhibits Na+/K+/2Cl- transporter
  • Leads to higher concentrations of all of these and hence more water loss
  • Acts on the thick ascending loop of henle
22
Q

Hydrochlorothiazide

Study These Flashcards
A

Tx: Hypertension

  • Thiazide Diuretic
  • Targets Distal Convoluted Tubule
  • Inhibits Na+/Cl- co transport
  • Higher concentration of these now we get more water loss
23
Q

Amiloride

Study These Flashcards
A

Tx: Hypertension

  • K+ Sparing Diuretic
  • Works on collecting duct
  • Inhibits Na+/K+ channel [channel usually works to bring Na into the cell and push K out]
  • Less water is reabsorbed because water follows Na
24
Q

Spironolactone

Study These Flashcards
A

Tx: Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure

  • K+ Sparing Diuretic
  • Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist
  • Prevents aldosterone from inserting the Na and K channels that cause K loss through anti-diuretic action;
  • Also prevents insertion of Na/K transporter on the blood side of the tubule [hard to describe it but its a transporter that takes K from the blood and puts it into the renal tubule cell and takes Na from the tubule cell and puts it into the blood]
25
Methyldopa
Tx: Hypertension - Adrenergic Neuron Inhibitor (Centrally acting) - Metabolite replaces central NE and likely activates A2 receptors
26
Phentolamine (Cardiac Lecture)
Tx: Hypertension and also to reverse or shorten the action of epinephrine in local anesthetics - Alpha-nonselective antagonist
27
Prazosin
Tx: Hypertension - Selective A1-adrenergic antagonists
28
Bisoprolol
Tx: Hypertension - Class II Anti-Arrhythmic (Beta Blockers) - Beta-Adrenergic Antagonist
29
Propanolol
Tx: Hypertension - Class II Anti-Arrhythmic (Beta Blockers) - Beta-Nonselective Antagonist - Anti-Arrhythmic - Automaticity Inhibitors - Decrease conduction through pacemaker cells - Decreases sympathetic activity of the heart - Increase threshold - Increase refractory period
30
Labetalol
Tx: Hypertension - Class II Anti-Arrhythmic (Beta Blockers) - Beta-Adrenergic Antagonist
31
Sotalol
Tx: Hypertension, Myocardial Ischemia, CHF and Cardiac Arrhythmias - Class II Anti-Arrhythmic (Beta Blockers) - Beta-Adrenergic Antagonist - Also K+ channel blocker
32
Captopril
Tx: Hypertension - ACE-inhibitor - Decreases levels of Bradykinins [can lead to dry cough]
33
Enalapril
Tx: Hypertension - ACE-inhibitor
34
Losartan
Tx: Hypertension and CHF - Angiotensin-II Receptor Antagonist - "SARTAN" - Prevents aldosterone from being released, prevents direct vasoconstriction on blood vessels, prevents sympathetic stimulation of renin release [All via AT1 receptor]
35
Amlodipine
Tx: Hypertension - Ca-Channel Blocker - Arterial Vasodilator [Need Ca to contract] - Vaso-selective
36
Verapamil
Tx: Hypertension, Myocardial Ischemia and Cardiac Arrhythmias - Class IV (Ca-Blocker) - Anti-Arrhythmic - Decrease conduction speed [Decrease AV nodal conduction = negative chronotropy] - Decrease contraction [Decrease T-Tubule entry = negative inotropy] - Decrease refractory period in myocytes
37
Hydralazine
Tx: Hypertension - Arterial Vasodilator
38
Sodium Nitroprusside
Tx: Hypertension and Myocardial Ischemia - Arterial and Venous Vasodilator
39
Glyceryl Trinitrate (Nitroglycerin)
Tx: Myocardial Ischemia - Organic Nitrate = Vasodilator
40
Isosorbide Dinitrate
Tx: Myocardial Ischemia and CHF - Organic Nitrate = Vasodilator
41
Digoxin
Tx: Congestive Heart Failure - Cardiac Glycosides (Calcium Exit) - [Inotropes CHF & emergency] - Inhibits Na/K ATPase - Positive Inotropy [Less Na gradient to drive Ca out during relaxation, causes Na channels to have less specificity and Ca can go through them] Occurs in myocytes - Negative Chronotropy [Longer refractory period and takes longer to get to threshold] Occurs in pacemaker cells
42
Lidocaine (Cardiac)
Tx: Cardiac Arrhythmias - Anti-Arrhythmic - Class I (NA & K-channel blockers) - Increases refractory period - Reduces velocity of depolarization - Prevents depolarization (if we block all Na channels theoretically)
43
Quinidine
Tx: Cardiac Arrhythmias - Class II (Na Channel Blockers) - Blockade of cardiac Na channels (Decrease excitability threshold = decrease automaticity) - Blockade of cardiac K+ channels (Increase action potential duration; lidocaine does not do this) - Potent inhibitor of CYP2D6 (decrease codeine-to-morphine metabolism = decreases analgesia) and reduces the clearance of digoxin
44
Amiodarone
Tx: Cardiac Arrhythmias - Class III (K-blockers) - Increase refractory period [Action plateau is longer] - Conduction velocity is not decreased
