Anesthesia pharm 1 Flashcards
Epinephrine
- Release by adrenal medulla
- alpha1=alpha2
- beta1=beat2
- adrenal standard secretion rates= 0.2 mcg/kg/min
- beta1/2 predominate at low doses leads to decreased PVR
- alpha 1 and beta1/2 @ high does -> vast
- bolus will result in sharp increase in MAP with baroreceptor response and vagal reflex drop in MAP
Norepinephrine
- Mainly alpha 1
- No beta 2
- 4-12mcg/min= alpha1 and beta 1
- low dose= b1 dominates
- high dose = a1 dominates
- may cause pulp HTN and right heart failure
Dopamine
- low (1-3 mcg/kg/min) = D1 activation= coronary, renal, mesenteric vasodilation
- moderate 3-10 mcg/kg/min= B1
- high >10mcg/kg/min = a1
Fenoldopam
- D1 agonist
- 10x potency of dopamine
- 0.1-0.8 mcg/kg/min
- 0.1-0.2 much/kg/min produces renal vasodilation, increased renal blood flow and increased GFR and Na excretion
Phenylephrine
- pure alpha agonist
- venoC > arterial
Methoxamine
- arterial constriction > veno
- longer acting
Midodrine
- oral a1 agonist
- used for dialysis induced hypotension
- T1/2= 3 hrs
- Duration 4-6
A2 agonist
-decrease CNS sympathetic output
-decrease NE release
-Sedation, hypnosis, sympatholysis, neruoprotection, diuresis,
inhibition of insulin and HGH secretion
-rapid delivery may increase BP due to postsynaptic a2b receptor mediated arterial and venom
Anesthesia benefits of A2 stimulation
anxiolytics, sedation, decreased MAC, decreased opioid induced chest wall rigidity, decreased BP response to ETT, extubation, and incision, and decreased post anesthesia shivering
Dexmedetomidine
- selective a2 agonist
- 1620:1 a2:a1
- decrease post-op analgesics, b-blockers, antiemetics, diuretics, and Epi for CABG pts.
- loading dose = 1 mcg/kg/hr over 10-20 min
- Infusion = 0.2-0.7 mcg/kg/hr
- can cause hypotension and bradycardia
Clonidine
- 220:1 a2:a1 activity
- PO dosing q8hrs
- do not hold d/t rebound HTN
Isoproterenol
- Non-selective B1 B2
- High dose= tachycardia and hypotension
- Chemical pacemaker
Dobutamine
- B1 agonist
- A1 antagonist
- Minimal B2
- increase CO, decrease LV filling pressure, maintain HR and SVR until does > 10-20 mcg/kg/min
- can be used as stress test
B2 Agonist
- Asthma, COPD
- Bronchodilation without systemic effects
- overdosing causes B1 effects
- Metaproterenol, albuterol, salmeterol
Terbutaline, Ritodrine
- used for tocolysis in pregnancy
- B2 mediated relaxation of uterine smooth muscle
