A child was born asphyxiated. What drug must be administered to the newborn to stimulate breathing?
Answer options
- Prazosin
- Proserine
- Aethimizolum
- Atropine
- Lobeline
Correct answer
Aethimizolum
Explanation
Proserpine is a cholinesterase inhibitor, it stimulates muscles by improving nerve impulse transmission. Lobeline acts on nicotinic receptors. Prazosin is an alpha1 blocker. Atropine is an anticholinesterase inhibitor. So "Aethimizolum", Aethimizolum is correct because it's an ANALEPTIC (it stimulates the breathing center).
