ATROPINE
CLASS: ANTICHOLIGERNIC DRUGS.
BACKGROUND: A tertiary amine belladonna alkaloid, has a high affinity for muscarinic receptors.
![Page 4: Emergency drugs used in anaesthesia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5598a0db1a28ab9f0a8b464d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ATROPINEMOA: binds competitively, preventing acetylcholine from binding to those sites Atropine acts both centrally and peripherally.
Duration of action: Its general actions last about 4 hours except when placed topically in the eye, where the action may last for days

.
ORGAN ACTION THERAPEUTIC USE
EYE Dilation of pupils(MYDRIASIS)Blurring of near vision(CYCLOPLEGIA); Dry eye
Ophthalmic: permits themeasurement of refractive errors without interference by the accommodative capacity of the eye. Shorter-acting antimuscarinics (cyclopentolante andtropicamide) have largely replaced atropine due to prolonged mydriasis.
GASTROINTESTINAL AntispasmodicGastric motility is reduced, hydrochloric acid production is not significantly affected
URINARY BLADDER Reduce hypermotility states of urinary bladder.
Occasionally used in enuresis among children.

ORGAN ACTION THERAPEUTIC USE
Heart low doses—bradycardia. (due to central activation of vagal efferent outflow--result from blockade of the M1 receptors on the inhibitory prejunctional (or presynaptic) neurons-- permitting increased acetylcholinerelease.Higher doses-- M2
receptors on the SA nodeare blocked-- and the cardiac rate increases . (requires at least 1 mg of atropine)
Bradycardia and partial heart block
Secretions Sweat gland; salivary gland; lacrimal gland: Drying effect.
Antisecretory.

ATROPINISATION IN OP POISONING
![Page 8: Emergency drugs used in anaesthesia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5598a0db1a28ab9f0a8b464d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ATROPINISATION- Start with 0.05mg/kg in children
0.6-2mg i.v. , repeat 10-25 min.
Until atropinisation obtained.; Tachycardia
D' s "
Delirium (disorientation)
Drowsiness
Dilated pupils (The mydriasis along with cyclopegia causes blurring of vision)
Dryness of mouth
Dry, hot skin

ADRENALINE
Class :Direct acting sympathomimetic drugs.
It interact with both alpha and beta receptors.
At low dose , beta effect ( vasodilatation) on vascular system predominant.
At high dose , alpha effect (vasoconstriction) are strongest
![Page 12: Emergency drugs used in anaesthesia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5598a0db1a28ab9f0a8b464d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MODE OF ACTION
Increase contractility of myocardium( Inotropic Effect , beta1 action)Increase HR( Choronotropic Effect ,beta 1 action)So, Increase In CO leads to Increase BP

DOSINGIn cardiac arrest
1 mg (10 mL 1:10,000 solution)
IV push every 3 to 5 minutes.
If this fails, higher doses of epinephrine (up to 0.2mg/kg) are acceptable but not recommended (there is growing evidence that it may be harmful)
In anaphylaxis: 3-5mcg/kg

MEPHENTERAMINEClass: Sympathomimetic ( Mixed action adrenergic
agonist)
Mechanism of action: - Acts indirectly by releasing norepinephrine from its
storage sites and directly by exerting a slight effect on alpha and beta-1 receptors and a moderate effect on beta-2 receptors mediating vasodilation. Causes increased CO; also elicits slight CNS effects.

IV, Pediatric: 0.4 mg/kg (12 mg/m2) as a single dose.Prophylaxis of hypotension in spinal anesthesia.IM, Adults: 30-45 mg 10-20 min before anesthesia. IM, Pediatric: 0.4 mg/kg (12 mg/m2) as a single dose.

EPHEDRINE
Class: Sympathomimetic ( Mixed action adrenergic agonist)
Action: longer duration of action; excellent oral absorption and penetrates into cns.
Elimination: unchanged in urine.
![Page 20: Emergency drugs used in anaesthesia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5598a0db1a28ab9f0a8b464d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
EPHEDRINEMechanism of action:
Stimulates both alpha-and beta-receptors, causing increased heart rate, enhanced cardiac output and increased BP.
Raises systolic and diastolic blood pressure by vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation.
Also causes bronchodilation but is less effective than epinephrine.
