liver*****
what are the pharmacodynamics of AMIDE LAs affected by?
- pH of solution and surrounding tissue
- lipid solubility
- addition of a vasoconstictor

- CPR (call 911)
receptors that cause vasoconstriciton, inc in peripheral resistance, and inc in arterial BP?
alpha 1 receptors
what are the two most commonly used vasoconstrictors and what do they primarily effect?
- epinephrine : A1, B1, B2 effects (is most potent)
- levonordefrin : A1 effects
receptors which, when activated, inhibit the release of norepi
A2 receptors
*agonist = clonidine
