Adrenergic/ Sympathetic Flashcards
epinephrine/ adrenaline
DOC for anaphylactic shock
prolongs lidocaine’s duration
inc blood sugar levels
alpha & beta agonist
direct acting adrenergic agonist
sympathetic effect
norepinephrine
DOC for septic shock
greater vasoconstriction than epi (acts more on a receptors)
alpha & beta agonist
direct acting adrenergic agonist
sympathetic effect
dopamine
may be used for shocks (never DOC)
low dose: d receptors (0.5 mcg/kg/min)
moderate dose: b receptors (5-15)
high dose: a receptors (>15-20)
alpha & beta agonist
direct acting adrenergic agonist
sympathetic effect

use nmt 3 days
watchout for htn px
