Management of organo-phosphate toxicity
Treat muscarinic effects: Atropine

Regeneration of AChE: Pralidoxime (2-PAM)


*Require this asap! or else it ages and becomes irreversible!

Pralidoxime (2-PAM)
Replaces R-P-AChE to R-P-2-PAM = regeneration of AChE

-Requires the R group in order for this to occur


-after it "ages", the R-P-AChE loses R and becomes the permanent P-AChE



-aging time = 6-8 hrs in insecticides


-2-3 minutes in nerve gas

Chronic toxicity due to organophosphate

Looks like multiple sclerosis

-peripheral neuropathy- muscle weakness/sensory loss


-demyelination due to organophosphate being lipid soluable- goes through myelin and damage it

Atropine

Terbutaline used in premature labor

Norepinephrine


A1, A2, B1

A1: ^TPR, ^BP

-increase pulse pressure




-potential reflex brady


-does not affect B2


*NE CAN NEVER LOWER BP



Epinephrine


A1, A2, B1, B2

B1: ^HR, ^SV, ^ Co, ^PP


B2: decrease TPR, Decrease BP


A1: ^ TPR, ^ BP


At low dose B2 > A1


At high dose A1 > B2




At high dose, potential reflex brady



Way to tell difference btwn Norepinephrine and epinephrine

Check for B2 specific characterstics


-smooth muscle relaxation (bronchioles, uterus, blood vessles)


-metabolic- glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, mobilization and use of fat





At high dose epinephrine, Block A1 (administer A1 antagonist)


-if pt becomes severely hypotensive, it was due to high dose epinephrine, not norepinephrine

Use of norepinephrine and epinephrine

1. cardiac arrest


2. adjunct to local anesthetic (keep it localized)


3. hypotension (A1 and B1)


4. anaphylaxis -epinephrine only- B2 due to bronchospasm -use high dose, or pt will become hypotensive even more


5. asthma- epinephrine only

Norepinephrine Releasers- displace norepinephrine from mobile pool
