Geoffrey’s cardiovascular function improves, and he starts following a healthier lifestyle. After a couple of years, his daughter takes him to the hospital for a surgical procedure requiring mechanical.ventilation. To facilitate this, his doctor plans to use a non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker, with an appropriate reversal agent thereafter. The surgery goes well, however, Geoffrey experiences facial flushing, and starts complaining of breathing difficulties thereafter. His doctor diagnoses him with non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema due to the reversal agent, and decides to use furosemide to treat it. Based on the procedure and clinical outcomes, i) suggest which non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker was used and explain your reasoning, ii) explain how the non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker would facilitate mechanical ventilation by referring to physiological processes, iii) explain whether the reversal agent may cause peripheral or central side effects with at least one associated side effect other than already mentioned, and iv) explain how furosemide would treat his pulmonary oedema.
The cardiovascular system involved the circulation of blood with
the network of the vessel the bodies was to improve the individual
cells with nutrient and oxygen. This also helps to dispose of the
metabolic waste in which the heart pumps the blood around the blood
vessels. The function of cardiovascular systems to transport the
waste product across the body. The body from infection of the cells
and blood loss also helps to maintain the body temperature and
maintain the fluid balance in the body.
(i)Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers which are used to explain
the reasoning involve neuromuscular blocking agents. They also
interrupted the transmission of the skeleton and neuromuscular
junction that cause the depolarization of motor and plate. They act
as receptor agonist which combine to the receptor and form the
action potential. They combine with the receptors but they are
unable to induce the opening of channels. The patient is facing
facial flushing and experiencing breathing difficulties which may
lead to cause pulmonary edema. This represents that succinyl
alkaline can be used in the form of drugs for emergencies for the
intubation of critically ill patients.
(ii)In this case, the non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers that
facilitate mechanical ventilation are by referring to the
physiological process because that does not depolarize the motor
endplate. Quaternary ammonium from muscle relaxant is used to
inhibit the neuron transmission to the muscle by blocking the
acid-alkaline receptor. This decreases the elevation of motor
activity.
(iii)The reversal agent which is used and causes the peripheral and
Central effect which are associated with the side effect represent
the administration of neuromuscular blocking. These are of a
different type in which one can observe the spontaneous recovery
which is required for the administration of neuromuscular blocking.
These are generally defined as those drugs which have the reverse
effect for example glycopyrrolate used to neutralize the side
effect of these drugs.
(iv)Furosemide is helpful to treat the pulmonary edema because of
the decreasing pressure which is caused by excess fluid in the
lungs and heart. By giving this in the form of intravenous one can
observe the rapid vascular changes and leads to cause we know
dilation and decrease the pulmonary congestion.
