Q

Potassium Sparinc Diuretics; Aldactone

WEAK diuretic in adjuct to loop diuretics

A

-inhibits Na reabsorption in kidney while saving K & hydrogen ions

17
Q

Potassium Sparinc Diuretics; Aldactone

WWND? 3

A
  • monitor renal funtion; PT in renal failure cannot recieve this drug
  • watch potassium diet
  • no supplement/salt substitutes
18
Q 
Adrenergic drugs (heavy hitters)
WDTD?
A
  • mimic SNS
  • INC cardiac output
  • watch for hypokalemia due to increased UR output
19
Q

Dopamine; dose related/WT base drug:
low dose
mod dose
high dose

A

low dose = renal dilation, helps perfuse kidneys
mod dose = INC cardiac contractility, promotes vasodilation
higher dose= causes vasoconstriction (for shock - hypotension)

20
Q

Dopamine works by…

A

acts on Beta 1 (heart) & Alpha receptors resulting in vasoconstriction & INC myocardial contractility

21
Q

Dopamine

WWND? 3, may cause…

A

NECROSIS, assess IV frequently *central line ideal
monitor HR (tachycardia), EKG (arrhythmias)
watch for s/s of angina/chest pain, hypotension

22
Q

Dobutamine works by…2

WT base drug

A
  • stimulates Beta1 receptors (heart)

- INC cardiac contractility & CO

23
Q

Dobutamine given for…2

symptom of…

A

usually short-term for acute decompensated HR & cardiogenic shock

symp of SOB at rest

24
Q

Dobutamine:
side effects
toxicity

A
  • can develop premature ventricular contractions
  • Necrosis (same as dopamine)
  • GI: N/V/D/A (same as Dig)
25
Q

Dobutamine

Nx 2

A

WT, I/O
RR, lung sounds
(same as Dig???)

26
Q

Levophed (norepinephrine) given…

dose

A

short-term for hypotensive shock

8-12 mcg/min

27
Q

Levophed (norepinephrine)
mechanics
theraputic

A
  • stimulate alpha & beta1 receptors
  • causes vasoconstriction INC BP
  • myocardial stimulation INC CO
28
Q

Levophed (norepinephrine)

  • possible side effects
  • WWND?
A
  • very powerful vasoconstrictor; DEC blood flow to non vital organs
  • h/a w/hypertension
  • check peripheral pulse/warmth/color
29
Q

MISC; Natrecor
synthetic version of…
therapeutic

A
  • BNP (promotediureses & DEC preload/afterload)

- INC blood & O2 to heart

30
Q

Natrecor
used for?
dose?

A
  • stage 4 heart failure
  • 2 mcg/kgbolus followedby0.01 mcg/kg/min
  • Monitor RR, WT, I/O
