REVIEW OF the 6 steps of Cholinergic Neurotransmission

1. Acetylcholine synthesis • Formed by reaction of Acetyl CoA and choline (catalyzed by choline acetyltransferase) and transported into cytoplasm via sodium cotransporter 2. Storage • Packaged into vesicles via active transport. Matured vesicles also contain proteoglycan and ATP 3. Release • Action potential propagation triggers opening of calcium voltage-gated channels, which causes calcium influx. Increased intracellular calcium causes vesicles to fuse to cell membrane and release its contents (blocked by botulinum toxin/ black widow spider stimulates release of all contents) 4. Binding to a receptor • Binds to a specific postsynaptic receptor, which triggers a specific biological effect 5. Degradation • Acetylcholine broken down into acetate and choline via acetylcholinesterase 6. Recycling of choline • Transported back into cell where it is transformed into acetylcholine and stored

_____________________ and ______________ lead to the allergic reaction of PABA

Tetracaine and Benzocaine lead to the allergic reaction of PABA

7. Regarding the spasmolytic drugs, which of the following statements is not accurate? (A) Baclofen acts on GABA receptors in the spinal cord to increase chloride ion conductance (B) Cyclobenzaprine decreases both oropharyngeal secretions and gut motility (C) Dantrolene has no significant effect on the release of calcium from cardiac muscle (D) Diazepam causes sedation at doses commonly used to reduce muscle spasms (E) Intrathecal use of baclofen is effective in some refractory cases of muscle spasticity

The answer is A. Baclofen activates GABA-b receptors in the spinal cord. However, these receptors are coupled to K+ channels. GABA-a receptors in the CNS modulate chloride ion channels, an action facilitated by diazepam and other benzodiazepines.

5. The clinical use of succinylcholine, especially in patients with diabetes, is associated with: (A) Antagonism by pyridostigmine during the early phase of blockade (B) Aspiration of gastric contents (C) Decreased intragastric pressure (D) Histamine release in a genetically determined population (E) Metabolism at the neuromuscular junction by acetylcho-linesterase

The answer is B. Fasciculations associated with succinylcholine may increase intragastric pressure with possible complications of regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents. The complication is more likely in patients with delayed gastric emptying such as those with esophageal dysfunction or diabetes. Histamine release resulting from succinylcholine is not genetically determined.

4. Which of the following drugs is the most effective in the emergency management of malignant hyperthermia? (A) Baclofen (B) Dantrolene (C) Gabapentin (D) Secobarbital (E) Vecuronium

The answer is B. Prompt treatment is essential in malignant hyperthermia to control body temperature, correct acidosis, and prevent cal- cium release. Dantrolene interacts with the RyR1 channel to block the release of activator calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which prevents the tension-generating interaction of actin with myosin.

10. Myalgias are a common postoperative complaint of patients who receive large doses of succinylcholine, possibly the result of muscle fasciculations caused by depolarization. Which drug administered in the operating room can be used to pre- vent postoperative pain caused by succinylcholine? (A) Baclofen (B) Cisatracurium (C) Dantrolene (D) Lidocaine (E) Morphine

The answer is B. The depolarizing action of succinylcholine at the skeletal muscle end plate can be antagonized by small doses of depolarizing blockers. To prevent skeletal muscle fasciculations and the resulting postoperative pain caused by succinylcholine, a small nonparalyzing dose of a nondepolarizing drug is often given immediately before succinylcholine.

Questions 2 and 3. A patient underwent a surgical procedure of 2 h. Anesthesia was provided by isoflurane, supplemented by intravenous midazolam and a nondepolarizing muscle relaxant. At the end of the procedure, a low dose of glycopyrrolate was administered followed by pyridostigmine. 2. The main reason for administering the muscarinic receptor antagonist was to (A) Enhance the action of pyridostigmine (B) Prevent spasm of gastrointestinal smooth muscle (C) Prevent activation of cardiac muscarinic receptors (D) Provide postoperative analgesia (E) Reverse the effects of the muscle relaxant

The answer is C. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors used for reversing the effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants cause increases in ACh at all sites where it acts as a neurotransmitter. To offset the resulting side effects, including bradycardia, a muscarinic blocking agent is used concomitantly. Although atropine is effective, glycopyrollate is usually preferred because it lacks CNS effects.

9. Which drug has spasmolytic activity and could also be used in the management of seizures caused by overdose of a local anesthetic? (A) Baclofen (B) Cyclobenzaprine (C) Diazepam (D) Gabapentin (E) Tizanidine

The answer is C. Diazepam is both an effective antiseizure drug and a spasmolytic. The spasmolytic action of diazepam is thought to be exerted partly in the spinal cord because it reduces spasm of skeletal muscle in patients with cord transection. Cyclobenzaprine is used for acute local spasm and has no antiseizure activity.

Epinephrine --> Adrenalin; prototype for alpha and beta receptors

Treatment for Anaphylactic shock

Questions 2 and 3. A patient underwent a surgical procedure of 2 h. Anesthesia was provided by isoflurane, supplemented by intravenous midazolam and a nondepolarizing muscle relaxant. At the end of the procedure, a low dose of glycopyrrolate was administered followed by pyridostigmine. 3. A muscarinic receptor antagonist would probably not be needed for reversal of the skeletal muscle relaxant actions of a nondepolarizing drug if the agent used was (A) Cisatracurium (B) Mivacurium (C) Pancuronium (D) Tubocurarine (E) Vecuronium

The answer is C. One of the distinctive characteristics of pancuronium is that it can block muscarinic receptors, especially those in the heart. It has sometimes caused tachycardia and hypertension and may cause dysrhythmias in predisposed individuals.

6. Which drug is most often associated with hypotension caused by histamine release? (A) Baclofen (B) Pancuronium (C) Tizanidine (D) Tubocurarine (E) Vecuronium

The answer is D. Hypotension may occur with tubocurarine and with the spasmolytic drug tizanidine. In the case of tubocurarine, the decrease in blood pressure may be due partly to hista- mine release and to ganglionic blockade. Tizanidine causes hypotension via α2-adrenoceptor activation like its congener clonidine.

1. Characteristics of phase I depolarizing neuromuscular blockade due to succinylcholine include: (A) Easy reversibility with nicotinic receptor antagonists (B) Marked muscarinic blockade (C) Muscle fasciculations only in the later stages of block (D) Reversibility by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors (E) Sustained tension during a period of tetanic stimulation

The answer is E. Phase I depolarizing blockade caused by succinylcholine is not associated with antagonism at muscarinic receptors, nor is it reversible with cholinesterase inhibitors. Muscle fasciculations occur at the start of the action of succinylcholine.

8. Which drug is most likely to cause hyperkalemia leading to cardiac arrest in patients with extensive burns? (A) Baclofen (B) Cyclobenzaprine (C) Dantrolene (D) Rocuronium (E) Succinylcholine

The answer is E. Skeletal muscle depolarization by succinylcholine releases potassium from the cells, and the ensuing hyperkalemia can be life-threatening in terms of cardiac arrest. Patients most susceptible include those with extensive burns, spinal cord injuries, neurologic dysfunction, or intra-abdominal infection.
