Objectives:Systemic administration of atropine during CPR may postpone brain death determination because of its reputed ability to produce fixed and dilated pupils. We studied the effect of atropine administered in the usual doses as an adjunct to endotracheal intubation and for cardiac arrest to deter...
An event is serious (FDA MedWatch definition) when the patient outcome is: death life-threatening hospitalisation disability congenital anomaly requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage A 61-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypercholesterolaemia developed psyc...
Atropine decreases the production of body secretions, including saliva, mucus, and sweat. It's been used in cough syrups to help clear the airways. Sedation Atropine is sometimes used as a sedative. It’s known that acetylcholine is used as a neurotransmitter in the brain as well as in the...
Pharmacokinetics Atropine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; it is also absorbed from mucous membranes, the eye, and to some extent through intact skin. It is rapidly cleared from the blood and is distributed throughout the body. It crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is in...
L/kg after oral administration. Atropine can rapidly distribute to different organ systems and pass the blood-brain barrier and the placenta. After absorption by the eye’s conjunctiva, 30% of the products are excreted unchanged via the kidneys; the others become metabolites by hydrolysis and glu...
Cases of severerespiratory depressionand coma, leading to permanent brain damage or death have been reported in patients less than 6 years of age who received Lomotil. Lomotil is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age due to these risks (seeCONTRAINDICATIONS). ...
22 However, previous thyroid ablation by surgery or radioiodine has deleterious effects on the size and invasiveness of the tumor (Fig. 17-3).4 In fact, invasive macroadenomas were found in 49% of patients who had undergone thyroid ablation versus 27% in those who were untreated, whereas ...
Cases of severe respiratory depression and coma, leading to permanent brain damage or death have been reported in patients less than 6 years of age who received diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets. Diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate tablets are contraindicated in patients...
Both CVP and MET induced dose-dependent seizure activity and death in mice. Pretreatment with the muscarinic antagonist, atropine (ATR), at a dose of 1.8mg/kg did not prevent seizures but decreased the lethal effects of CVP and MET. Pretreatment with the NMDA antagonists, dizocilpine (MK-...
