Anxiolytics / Premed / Morning Cocktail
Group 1
Anxiolytics
a drug that relieves anxiety.
|| An anxiolytic (antipanic or antianxiety agent) is a drug prescribed for the treatment of symptoms of anxiety.

Anxiolytics / Premed / Morning Cocktail
Group 1
Benzodiazepine
a drug belonging to a group of minor tranquilizers.
|| Use: short-term treatment for sleeping difficulties.
|| Benzodiazepines have varying sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and amnesic properties.
|| These properties make benzodiazepines useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, agitation, seizures, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal.
|| Benzodiazepines vary in their elimination half-life, and are categorized as either short-, intermediate- or long-acting.
|| Short- and intermediate-acting benzodiazepines are preferred for the treatment of insomnia; longer-acting benzodiazepines are recommended for the treatment of anxiety.

Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
Group 3
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
Neuromuscular-blocking drugs block neuromuscular transmission at the neuromuscular junction, causing paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles.
|| This is accomplished either by acting presynaptically via the inhibition of acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis or release, or by acting postsynaptically at the acetylcholine receptor.
|| While there are drugs that act presynaptically (such as botulin toxin and tetrodotoxin), the clinically-relevant drugs work postsynaptically.
|| Clinically, neuromuscular block is used as an adjunct to anesthesia to induce paralysis, so that surgery, especially intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic surgeries, can be carried out with fewer complications.
|| Because neuromuscular block may paralyze muscles required for breathing, mechanical ventilation should be available to maintain adequate respiration.
|| Patients are still aware of pain even after full conduction block has occurred; hence, general anesthetics and/or analgesics must be given to prevent anesthesia awareness.

Opioids / Narcotics
Group 4
Opioids
Any opium-containing substance that is produced naturally in the brain.
Similar in effect or properties to opium but not derived from opium.
An opioid is a chemical that works by binding to opioid receptors, which are found principally in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.
The receptors in these two organ systems mediate both the beneficial effects and the side effects of opioids.
The analgesic (pain relieving) effects of opioids are due to decreased perception of pain, decreased reaction to pain as well as increased pain tolerance.
The side effects of opioids include sedation, respiratory depression, and constipation.
Opioids can cause cough suppression, which can be both an indication for opioid administration or an unintended side effect.
Narcotics
Agents that benumb or deaden, causing loss of feeling or paralysis.
Something that soothes, induces sleep, relieves pain or stress, or causes a sensation of mental numbness.

Narcotic Antagonist
An opioid antagonist is a receptor antagonist that acts on opioid receptors.
|| A receptor antagonist is a type of receptor ligand or drug that does not provoke a biological response itself upon binding to a receptor, but blocks or dampens agonist-mediated responses.[1] In pharmacology, antagonists have affinity but no efficacy for their cognate receptors, and binding will disrupt the interaction and inhibit the function of an agonist or inverse agonist at receptors.
Antagonists mediate their effects by binding to the active site or to allosteric sites on receptors, or they may interact at unique binding sites not normally involved in the biological regulation of the receptor's activity.

Narcotic Antagonist
Group 5
Narcotic Antagonist / Opioid antagonists
Drugs which are competitive antagonists that bind to the opioid receptors with higher affinity than agonists but do not activate the receptors.

In pharmacokinetics, a loading dose refers to an initial higher dose of a drug that may be given at the beginning of a course of treatment before dropping down to a lower _____ dose.
A loading dose is most useful for drugs that are eliminated from the body relatively slowly.
Such drugs need only a low _____ dose in order to keep the amount of the drug in the body at the appropriate level, but this also means that, without an initial higher dose, it would take a long time for the amount of the drug in the body to reach that level.

Mixed antagonists
In the field of pharmacology, a selective receptor modulator or SRM is a type of drug that has different effects in different tissues.
A SRM may behave as an agonist in some tissues while as an antagonist in others.
Hence selective receptor modulators are sometimes referred to as tissue selective drugs or mixed agonists / antagonists.
This tissue selective behavior is in contrast to many other drugs that behave either as agonists or antagonists regardless of the tissue in question.

An agent that unusually induces low blood pressure.
In physiology and medicine, hypotension refers to an abnormally low blood pressure.
This is best understood as a physiologic state, rather than a disease.
It is often associated with shock, though not necessarily indicative of it.
Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension, which is high blood pressure.
Hypotension can be life-threatening.

Transient loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic function in a discrete portion of the body; reversible conduction of blockade of impulses along central and peripheral nerve pathways; Divided into Amides and Esters; Amides ( I b4 caine) metabolized by liver & Esters (no i b4 caine) metabolized in plasma via plasma cholinesterases, also will cause allergic Rxn in ppl allergic to PABA in sunscreen.
Note that Vasoconstrictors (i.e.
Epinephrine) increase duration of action of local anesthetic by limiting systemic absorption and maintaining the drug [c] at the nerve.
It also decreases possibility of systemic toxicity and has little effect on onset (use 5mcg/ml or 1:200,000 Epi w/ local anesthetic); Symptoms of Toxicity: Circumoral numbness (lips), Tinnitus (ringing in ears), taste pennies, lightheadedness, visual disturbances, muscular twitching, unconsciousness, convulsions, respiratory depression, cardiovascular collapse (described w/ increasing levels of toxicity);PVC=premature ventricular contraction; Infiltration=using lidocaine to numb area b4 giving IV/creating wheal under skin; use nebulizer to numb airway for awake intubation; use at induction to attenuate burning on injection of induction drugs; IV regional anesthesia (IVRA) = Bier Block; Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) = ankle or femural block;
