Pharmacology
Across
- 2. A postive cardiac stimulant Beta 1 receptor that increases cardiac contractibility with little effect on heart rate.
- 5. A short-acting beta 2 agonist whose effects include bronchdilation; is useful in the treatment of Asthma
- 7. A long acting vasoconstrictor which raises blood pressure by constricting peripheral vessels.
- 9. Citrate Prophylaxis against acid aspiration, mainly used prior to Caesarean Section.
- 10. A corticosteroid highly useful in the treatment of angioedema, possibly required in an anaphylactic reaction.
- 14. A long acting local anaesthetic agent which is extremely useful in Epidural and nerve blockades.
- 15. Low Molecular Weight Heparin.
- 19. Antiemetic drug which is most valuable in the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
- 20. Sedative which offers relief of patient anxiety and amnesia.
Down
- 1. Useful alternative alangesic which does not cause reqpiratory depression or dependence.
- 3. Non-depolarising muscle relaxant which is reversible by Sugammadex.
- 4. Only neuromuscular blocking agent which cannot be reversed.
- 6. A rarely used, potent inhalational anaesthetic agent which seldom induces coughing and provides a smooth induction.
- 8. Anticholingeric, occassionally used as a premed.
- 11. A broad spectrum antibiotic commonly used in theatres.
- 12. Barbituate induction agent, which is more traditionally used for a Rapid Sequence Induction.
- 13. Oxide Anaesthetic gas first suggested for use by Humphrey Davy that provides euphoria and analgesia.
- 15. A respiratory stimulant whose side effects include possible muscle fasiculations.
- 16. A highly negative inotropic Calcium Channel Blocker that reduces Cardiac output and slows heart rate.
- 17. Used in the treatment of Malignant Hyperpyrexia to delay the contractile process fo the skeletal muscles.
- 18. Opiod anagesic generally given Intramuscularly; associated with seizures and delerium.
