Epi B1 effects on heart
primary effects positive inotropy and chronotropy increased work of heart and increased O2 demand shortens AP and refractor period decreases grade of AV block
supraventricular arrhythmias
apt to occur w/combo of Wpi and cholinergic stimulation
treat w/beta blocker
Epi B2 effects on heart
B2 may play important role in remodeling of heart tissue that occurs in CHF
Epi alpha 1 effects on heart
prolings refractory period and strengthens myocardial contractions
low dose epi on vasculature
primarily beta 2 vasodilation
high does epi on vasculature
primarily alpha 1 vasoconstriction
epi and cutaneous blood flow
markedly decreased
decreased flow to hand and feet
epi and renal flow
induce alpha mediated vasoconstriction reducing renal blood flow -> increases RAAS
epi and coronary blood flow
increased, but may not increase enough to meet increased demand brought on by Epi
cardiac arrest uses of Epi
- during CPR for persistent or recurrent VT/VF after 1-2 cycles of defibrillation and CPR
- during CPR for PEA
- following CPR and TCP for asystole
- to treat bradycardia w/serious signs and symptoms (combine w/atropine and dopamine)
other uses of Epi
hypersensitivity rxns (anaphylaxis) prolongation of action of local anestetic (vasoconstriction) topical hemostatic agent on bleeding surfaces nebulizer -> pediatric asthma
NE
full agonist at all receptors, but has low affinity for B2
CV effects of NE
- systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure increased
- CO unchanged or decreased
- TPR increased
- compensatory vagal reflex slows heat
- SV increased
