Term
Adrenergic
Definition
Drug that displays the effect of epinephrine (inc. BP, HR, both) 
Term
Analgesic
Definition
Dec. pain
Term
Antimetic
Definition
Dec. Nausea/Vomiting
Term
Anxiolytic
Definition
Sedative
Term
Apnea
Definition

Abscence of breathing

- Ex. OSA (Obstructive sleep apnea) 

Term
Bolus
Definition
Injected (Drug) all at once
Term
Catecholamine
Definition
Any chemical produced out of Adrenal Medulla- Usually epi/NE
Term
Cholinergic
Definition
Drug works on Ach receptors
Term
Diuretic
Definition
inc. Urine output
Term
Infusion
Definition
Introducing medicine slowly at a constant rate
Term
Inotrope
Definition
Inc. cardiac contractility 
Term
Intrathecal injection
Definition
(aka spinal anesthesia) injection given in subdural/subarachnoid space
Term
Loading dose
Definition
Larger does given before infusion (purpose is to speed onset)
Term
Local anesthetic
Definition
Provide analgesia only to area of injection (not entire body (like GA))
Term
Media effective dose (ED50)
Definition
Dose required to achieve a given effect in 50% of the population (the drug was given to) 
Term
Median lethal dose (LD50)
Definition
Dose that causes death in 50% of the population (the drug was give to) 
Term
Narcotic
Definition
1) Addictive drug 2) dec. pain 3) induces sedation 4) dec. respiratory drive 
Term
Opiod (5 key characteristics) 
Definition
1) Opiate 2) Synthetic narctoic that resembles the naturally occuring opiates 3) Narcotic that contains opium 4) Contains opium-which is extracted from leaves 5) Opiod binds to opiate receptors 
Term
Sympathomimetic
Definition
- Inc. HR, BP, or both (ex. Epinehrine) 
Term
Titrate
Definition
1) Intial low dose 2) Dose is increased until desired effec is achieved 3) Dose is reduced if drug goes beyond desired effect
Term
Vagolytic
Definition
Anti-muscuranic 
Term
Vasodilator
Definition
Dec. BP (NO is a vasodilator)
Term
Vasopresser
Definition
Inc. BP
Term
What is the ANS comprised off?
Definition
1) Sympathetic 2) parasympathetic 
Term
What are the effects of the sympathetic system? (6 effects)
Definition
1) Inc. HR 2) Inc. BP 3)Bronchodialation 4)Pupil dialation (mydrisis) 5) Gastroparesis (inhibits peristalsis) 6)Dry mouth
Term
What are the neurotransmitters of the sympathetic system?
Definition
1) Epinephrine 2) norepinehrine
Term
What ate the 5 effects of Parasympathetic system?
Definition
1) Dec. HR 2) Bronchoconstriction 3)Pupil constriction 4)Peristalsis 5) Inc. airway secretions/saliva
Term
What are the NT associated with Parasymp.?
Definition
1) Ach
Term
What are the two types of Ach receptors?
Definition
1) Nicotinic (on Sketelat Muscle) 2) Muscarinic (all other Ach recep)
Term
What are the some nicotinic effects?
Definition

1) Receptor is activated=Muscle contraction

2) Receptor Blocking= Paralyzes patient 

Term
What are the effects of the Muscaranic receptor?
Definition
1) Receptor is activated= Parasympathetic(ex.neostigmine) response 2) Receptor is blocked= Sympathetic response (Atropine and Robinul)
Term
Acetylcholinesterase: where is it found and what is its purpose?
Definition
1) In the NMJ, it is an enzyme 2) To break down Ach 
Term
What is an Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
Definition
1) Neostigmine- Stops the break down of Ach-To inc. ACh in body-which reverses muscle paralysis and cause parasymp. effects
Term
What drug is given in congunction with Neostigmine (Anticholinesterase)? Why?
Definition
Robinul (Muscarinic blocker) is given b/c it prevents excess parasymp. stimulation,
Term
What cautions may occur when giving neostigmine(anticholinesterase) and Robinul (Muscaranic blocker)?
Definition
1) Possible Tachycardia (from Robinul) when reversing paralysis
