|
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
-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 |

|
Tropicamide |
Ophthalmology (topical) - shorter half-life than atropine so sometime they use this to dilate |

|
Selective B2 agonists |
salmeterol, albuterol, terbutaline used in asthma Terbutaline used in premature labor |
|
Norepinephrine A1, A2, B1 |
A1: ^TPR, ^BP B1: ^ HR, ^ SV, ^ CO -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 |
Watch out for drug interactions -MAO-inhibitors inhibit MAO-A in gut -this increases tyramine bioavailability and causes hypertensive crisis -same with Amphetamines and ephedrine + pseudepherine |
|
Norepinephrine Reuptake inhibitors |

non-competitive, irreversible non-selective alpha antagonist Rx- pheochromocytoma -must add Beta blocker AFTER phenoxybenzamine |
|

|
selecitve A2 blocker |
mirtazapine- antidepressant -skinny old lady thats depressed -will help her gain weight |
|
Beta receptor antagonist |
B1 blockade -decrease HR, SV, CO (decrease oxygen demand) -decrease renin release -decrease Aqueous humor production B2 blockade -may precipitate bronchospasm -decrease aqueous humor production -metabolic effects- blocks glycogenolysis/gluconeogenesis -increase LDL, TG due to impaired lipolysis |
|
Beta blocker- B1 selective - A ~ M -cardioselective |
Acebutolol, atenelol, Metoprolol -less effect on vasculature,bornchioles, uterus, metabolism -safer in asthma, DM, PVD |
|
Acebutolol |
B1 blocker -has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA) meaning its a partial agonist -does not cause increase blood lipid -safer in asthma, diabetes, peripheral vascular diseases |
|
Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity |
Acts as partial agonist -less bradycardia -slight vasodilation or bronchodilation -minimal changes in plasma lipids |
|

|
Beta blocker watch contraindications/s/e |
-avoid in asthmatic, vasospatic disorder, diabetics -may cause prinzmetal angina or Raynauds (treat with CCB) -masks hypoglycemic events in diabetics -treat betablocker toxicity with glucagon (Gs protein = increase cAMP) -must wean off, tapering it due to chronic use leading to upregulation of receptors |
