Respiratory drugs:
Parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous
system:
-Beta-adrenergic agonists
-Anticholinergic
-Corticosteroids
-Leukotriene modifiers
-Mast cell stabilizers
The human airway acts via efferent and afferent autonomic nerves it
regulates the airway functions. It helps the relaxation of smooth
muscles of the bronchioles when the oxygen level is low in the
blood and constricts the bronchioles when the oxygen level is
normal. The sympathetic nervous system cause speeds up the
respiratory rate and the parasympathetic nervous system causes slow
breathing rates. It serves as a restorative function.
parasympathetic nerves are the main function of respiratory
activity. Adrenergic and cholinergic have a stimulatory
effect.
Patient education to use the inhaler:
-Advice the patient to remove the cap and load the capsule in the
device
-Breathe out slowly and completely
-Place the mouthpiece between teeth and seal the lips.
-Breath in quickly and deeply for 2 to 3 seconds
-Remove the inhaler and hold the breath for 10 seconds
-breath out slowly through the nose
-clean the inhaler with a dry cloth, not with soap and water
-for effective use for at least 3 months
-never swallow the medication
-Advice the patient in case of any side effects must see the
doctor
Chronic inflammation associated with permanent alteration in the
airway.
Acute inflammation associated with severe and sudden onset
For acute asthma symptoms, albuterol and corticosteroids suppress
the airway inflammation.
In chronic inflammtion, there will be structural damage to the
airway. The medication acts in the immune system and blocks the
action of antibodies and reduce the immune system
reaction.

1.Compare and contrast the actions of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Explain how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems regulate the heart, digestive tract, respiratory tract, reproductive tracts, arteries, salivary and sweat glands, and portions of the eye. 2. Describe the nurse’s role in the pharmacologic management of patients receiving drugs affecting the parasympathetic nervous system. Identify which drugs would be used for paralytic ileus, GERD, and irritable bowel syndrome and explain the mechanism of...
1. Differentiate between the somatic (motor) nervous system and the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system in terms of (1) overall anatomic organization (numbers, types of nerves); (2) neurotransmitters made and released by the nerves; and (3) the targets (effectors) of the neurotransmitters’ actions, whether those structures are innervated by one or both branches of the autonomic nervous system, and the effects of activating those structures. 2.Discuss drug absorption as it relates to the route of administration...
Autonomic Nervous System Drugs Fill-in-the-Blank Fill in the blank for each of the following statements. 1. The autonomic nervous system is divided into the and the divisions. 2. The _system is your "alert system" that can quickly ready your body to face emergencies 3. Drugs that mimic the action of the sympathetic nervous system are called sympathomimetic or 4. Neurotransmitters released at the sympathetic nerve endings are called catecholamines and include norepinephrine, and dopamine. 5. Because adrenergic drugs cause peripheral...
RESPIRATION 2 1. Which are the factors that affect diffusion of gases across the alveolar membrane? 2. Describe different respiratory units in terms of ventilation/perfusion ratio. 3. How are Oxygen and CO2 transported in blood? 4. What is physiological dead space? Know the formula for calculation alveolar ventilation rate. 5. Describe location of chemoreceptors. Which stimuli affect their activity? 6. Describe all lung receptors. What are the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system on respiration? OBSTRUCTIVE & RESTRICTIVE DISEASES...

1. Describe the anatomy of the somatic nervous system, the key transmitter and receptor type involved in skeletal muscle activation, and the physiologic consequences of activating those cell receptors. 2. Compare and contrast the mechanisms of action of nondepolarizing and depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents and state how these actions influence the use of one class rather than the other in specified clinical situations. 3. Identify three specific uses for neuromuscular blocking agents and describe the monitoring and other measures necessary...
