Neuromuscular blockers Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Tubocurarine is a _____ (depolarizing or non-depolarizing) neuromuscular blocking agent

Answer: non-depolarizing

Flashcard 2: First Aid Pharmacology: Neuro/Psych Phase _____ of succinylcholine-induced neuromuscular blockade is characterized as repolarized but blocked

Answer: II

Flashcard 3: In addition to inhaled anesthetics, malignant hyperthermia may also be caused by _____ (muscle relaxant)

Answer: succinylcholine

Flashcard 4: Which drug class is used to reverse the effects of neuromuscular junction blockade?_____

Answer: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g. neostigmine)

Flashcard 5: First Aid Pharmacology: Neuro/Psych Phase _____ of succinylcholine-induced neuromuscular blockade is characterized as prolonged depolarization

Answer: I

Flashcard 6: Teratogenic effects of Carbamazepine

Answer: Neural tube defects, craniofacial defects, fingernail hypoplasia, developmental delay, IUGR

Flashcard 7: What is the characteristic teratogenic effect associated with Phenytoin use during pregnancy?

Answer: Fetal hydantoin syndrome

Extra: Fetal hydantoin syndrome is characterized by: - Orofacial clefts (cleft lip/palate) - Microcephaly and mental retardation - Nail and digital hypoplasia - Cardiac defects

Flashcard 8: valproate

Answer: neural tube defects (inhibition of maternal folate absorption)

Flashcard 9: Mechanism and use of Levodopa?

Answer: Dopamine precursor used in Parkinson's disease

Extra: Mechanism: Crosses blood-brain barrier (BBB) and is converted to dopamine by dopa decarboxylase. Clinical Use: Parkinson's disease. Side effects: GI distress, nausea, arrhythmias, dyskinesia (on-dose), akinesia (wearing-off/between dose).

Flashcard 10: Mechanism of action of Carbidopa:

Answer: Peripheral Dopa Decarboxylase Inhibitor

Extra: Mechanisms: Inhibits peripheral conversion of L-Dopa to Dopamine. \n- Does NOT cross the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB).\n- Used in combination with Levodopa to increase CNS bioavailability and reduce peripheral side effects (nausea/vomiting).
