Depolarizing Blockers: Mechanism of Action01:28

Depolarizing Blockers: Mechanism of Action

2.6K
Depolarizing blockers act on skeletal muscle fibers' membranes and induce their depolarization. Most depolarizing blockers have two quaternary N+ atoms that bind the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and cause neuromuscular blockade within minutes.
Succinylcholine is the most commonly used depolarizing blocker. Chemically, it constitutes two molecules of acetylcholine joined together by an acetate methyl group. They act on the receptors in the same way as acetylcholine. Because...

Depolarizing Blockers: Pharmocokinetics

534
Depolarizing blockers are administered through intravenous injection. Succinylcholine is the most common choice of depolarizing blockers in emergency clinical practices. Although they have a rapid onset, they readily diffuse away from the motor end plate into the extracellular fluid. They are metabolized by enzymes such as liver butyrylcholinesterase and plasma pseudocholinesterases. This produces a short duration of action, typically 5-10 minutes long, unlike nondepolarizing blockers, which...

Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

33.5K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) diagnosis can be complicated by atypical patient presentations.
  • Variability in symptoms, patient concerns, and clinical priorities impacts diagnostic accuracy.

Observation:

  • An unusual case involving a young woman presenting with recurrent, chilling-like attacks for 1.5 years is detailed.
  • These symptoms were ultimately diagnosed as manifestations of supraventricular tachycardia.

Findings:

  • The patient's prolonged, atypical symptoms posed a diagnostic challenge.
  • Successful treatment was achieved through slow pathway ablation, effectively managing the supraventricular tachycardia.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering SVT in patients with seemingly unrelated or obscure symptoms.
  • Slow pathway ablation offers an effective therapeutic option for specific types of supraventricular tachycardia presenting atypically.
