Study Notes
Respiratory System Functions
- The upper respiratory system's function is to warm, humidify, and filter the air we breathe.
Protective Reflexes
- The respiratory system has protective reflexes, such as coughing, sneezing, and nasal mucociliary clearance, to prevent foreign particles and pathogens from entering the lungs.
Inhalation Therapy
- Aerosolization (nebulation) in inhalation therapy is used to break down medications into small particles, allowing for easier respiratory absorption and effective treatment of respiratory diseases.
Mucolytic Agents
- The category of respiratory drugs used to break down thick or inspissated respiratory mucus is mucolytic agents.
Guaifenesin
- The primary use of Guaifenesin is as an expectorant to help loosen and thin mucus, making it easier to cough up.
Acetylcysteine
- The adverse side effect of Acetylcysteine when administered orally is nausea and vomiting.
Antitussives
- The purpose of antitussives in respiratory therapeutics is to relieve coughing.
Bronchodilators
- The category of respiratory drugs used to maintain normal airflow to the alveoli is bronchodilators.
Antitussives
- Dextromethorphan is an antitussive that is a non-narcotic with no analgesic or addictive properties.
Atropine
- Atropine is a bronchodilator used in cases of organophosphate or carbamate toxicity.
Antihistamines
- Tripelennamine is an antihistamine used for heaves in horses, pneumonia in cattle, feline asthma, and insect bites.
Muscarinic Antagonists
- The bronchodilator category that combines with Ach receptors on smooth muscle and blocks Ach is muscarinic antagonists.
Antitussive Combinations
- The antitussive that contains an antitussive (trimeprazine tartrate) and a corticosteroid (prednisolone) is Temaril-P.
β2-Agonists
- The bronchodilator category known for adverse side effects of tachycardia and hypertension is β2-agonists.
Opiate Agonists
- Codeine is an antitussive that is an opiate agonist and a class V controlled drug.
Antitussives
- Hydrocodone is an antitussive used for chronic, nonproductive cough and has dosage forms of injectable and tablets.
Sympathomimetics
- The bronchodilator category associated with adverse side effects of GI upset, CNS stimulation, tachycardia, ataxia, and arrhythmia is sympathomimetics.
Antitussives
- Robitussin is an antitussive used for harsh, nonproductive coughs and has dosage forms of syrup and tablets.
Antihistamines
- The antihistamine category used to prevent mast cell degranulation and block H1 receptors on smooth muscle is H1-antihistamines.
Corticosteroids
- Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid used for the treatment of heaves in horses, feline asthma, ARDS, and allergic pneumonia.
