==Answer==
The answer is E. All of the following enhance blockade except Phenytoin. Phenytoin and carabamazepine ANTAGONIZE the blockade by increasing the clearance of NMBDs through up regulation of hepatic metabolism. Volatile agents enhance blockade in a dose dependent manner (just ask Yaster), although how this occurs is not known. Local anesthetics, given in low doses, augment the blockade by inhibiting propagation along the nerve, an inhibiting release of acetylcholine (ACh) into the synaptic cleft. Aminoglycosides augment blockade with aminosteroid, but not benzylisoquiolinium neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBD). Furosemide, in low doses (1mg/kg) augments the blockade by inhibiting cAMP production, leading to decreased ACh output. Note the hypokalemia (from diuretics) hyperpolarizes the membranes, requiring more ACh-receptor binding to stimulate membrane depolarization; hence, less NMBD is required for blockade (e.g. enhanced blockade).
