Ch 9 Mucus controlling drugs

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Abhesive   Substance that reduces adhesion.  
🗑
Elasticity   Rheologic property characteristic of solids; it is represented by the storage modules G'.  
🗑
Expectorant   Medication meant to increase the volume or hydration of AW secretions.  
🗑
Gel   Macromolecular description of pseudoplastic material having both viscosity and elasticity.  
🗑
Glycoprotein   Protein with attached oligosaccharide units.  
🗑
Mucin   The principal constituent and high molecular weight glycoprotein, it gives mucous its physical/chemical properties such as viscoelasticity.  
🗑
Mucoactive agent   Term connoting any medication or drug that has an effect on mucus secretion; may include mucolytic, expectorant, mucospissic, mucoregulatory, or mucokinetic agents.  
🗑
Mucokinetic agent   Medication that increases cough ciliary clearance of respiratory secretions.  
🗑
Mucolytic agent   Medication that degrades polymers in secretions. Classic mucolytics have free thiol groups to degrade mucin, and peptide mucolytics break pathologic filaments of neutrophil-derived DNA or actin in sputum.  
🗑
Mucoregulatory Agent   Drug that reduces the volume of AW mucus secretion and appears to be especially effective in hyper secretory states, such as brochorrhea, diffuse panbron, chiolitis (DPB), CF, and some forms of asthma.  
🗑
Mucospissic Agent   medication that increases viscosity of secretions and may be effective in therapy of bronchorrhea.  
🗑
Mucus   Secretion, from surface goblet cells and submucosal glands, composed of water, proteins, and glycosylated mucins. The glycoprotein portion of the secretion is termed mucin. Mucus (noun) is the secretion; mucous (adjective) is the cell or gland type.  
🗑
Oligosaccharide   Sugar that is the individual carbohydrate unit of glycoproteins.  
🗑
Phlegm   Purulent material in the AW. From the greek word from inflammation. When expectorated, phlegm is called sputum.  
🗑
Rheology   Study of the deformation and flow of matter.  
🗑
Sol   Macromolecular description of the respiratory secretion in true solution, with the physical property of viscosity (usually referred to as the periciliary layer)  
🗑
Sputum   Expetorated Phlegm that contains respiratory tract, oropharyngeal, and nasopharyngeal secretions and bacteria and products of inflammation including polymeric DNA and actin.  
🗑
Viscosity   Resistance of liquid to sheer forces. A rheologic property characteristic of liquids and represented by the loss of modulus G'.  
🗑
Mucoactive therapy should be considered when?   After therapy to decreased infection and inflammation.  
🗑
What does Mucus do?   Lubricates, waterproofs and protects against osmotic or inflammatory changes.  
🗑
What can a normal mucus barrier do?   Entrap microorganisms, inhibiting chronic bacterial infection and biofilm formation.  
🗑
Name 4 Mucoactive agents?   N-acetylcysteine (NAC) Dornase Alpha Aqueous aerosols: Water, Saline Hyperosmolar (7%) saline  
🗑
Indications for N-acetylcysteine (NAC)   Bronchitis, efficacy not proven for any dose of NAC for an lung disease  
🗑
Indications for Dornase alpha   CF  
🗑
Indications for Aqueous aerosols: Water, Saline   Sputum induction, secretion, mobilization  
🗑
Indications for Hyperosmolar (7%) saline   AW clearance (Mucokinetics) for therapy of CF  
🗑
Dosages for N-acetylcysteine (NAC)   SVN: 3-5mL of 10% or 20%  
🗑
Dosages for Dornase alpha   SVN: 2.5mg/2.5mL ampoule, 1 ampoule Q day  
🗑
Dosages for Aqueous aerosols: Water, Saline   SVN: 3-5mL, as ordered  
🗑
Dosages for Hyperosmolar (7%) saline   SVN: 4mL  
🗑
Brand Names for N-acetylcysteine (NAC)   Mucomyst  
🗑
Brand Names for Dornase alpha   Pulmozyne  
🗑
Brand Names for Aqueous aerosols: Water, Saline   Doesn't have one  
🗑
Brand Names for Hyperosmolar (7%) saline   Hyper-Sal  
🗑
The AW secretion consists of?   Mucous Layer - Where mucin glycoprotein is located, and a watery, periciliary layer  
🗑
Drugs that effect Mucociliary clearance?   Surfactants Beta agonist agents  
🗑
What do Epithelial ion do in the AW?   Exchange in the AW surface liquid maintains normal periciliary fluid depth.  
🗑
CF AW secretions contain how much Mucin?   Very little intact mucin.  
🗑
What does a CF AW consist of?   Filled with Pus derived from neutrophil degregation.  
🗑
What are the physical properties of mucus?   Viscosity elasticity cohesivity and adhesivity. Normal ranges of these properties are needed for adequate mucus transport to occur.  
🗑
What 3 drugs are approved by aerosol to modify AW secretions?   NAC (Mucomyst), Dornase alpha, and hypertonic saline.  
🗑
Classic mucolytics   Reduce mucins by serving disulfide bonds or charge sheilding.  
🗑
What drug does not improve mucus clearance when given as an aerosol and should not be used as a mucoactive agent?   NAC (Mucomyst)  
🗑
What antibiotics is NAC (Mucomyst) incompatible with?   Sodium Ampicillin Amphotericin Erythromycin lactobionate Tetracyclines (tetracycline oxytatracycline) Aminoglycosides  
🗑
What are Potassium iodide and glycerol guaiacolate considered?   Expectorants or mucokinetic agents.  
🗑
Other agents that modify AW secretions:   inhaled anticholinergics such as atropine Ttricyclic nucleotides Phospholipids Antiproteases gene therapy  
🗑
What do studies show about long term use of ipratropium bromide are associated with?   Reduction in the volume of mucus secretion in patients with CB.  
🗑
AD technique incorporates what?   Staged breathing with small tidal breaths from expiratory reserve volume, repeated until secretions collect in central AWs.  
🗑
With IPV   The PT breathes through a mouth piece that delivers high-flow mini bursts at rates exceeding 200 cycles/min.  
🗑
Chest wall systems consist of   large volume variable frequency are pulse delivery system attached to an inflatable vest worn by PT.  
🗑
Pts with long-term problems of secretion management should?   be taught as many mucus controlling therapy techniques possible to control their condition.  
🗑
