Q

Selectivity of phenylephrine?

A

alpha 1 > alpha 2

17
Q

Use of phenylephrine?

A

Hypotension

18
Q

What does cocaine do?

A

General indirect agonist of sympathetic receptors. Do not give beta blockers in presence of cocaine for fear of causing unopposed alpha 1 activation and extreme hypertension.

19
Q

What are two alpha-2 agonists?

A

Clonidine and alpha-methyldopa

20
Q

Applications of clonidine?

A

HTN urgency

21
Q

Application of alpha-methyldopa

A

HTN in pregnancy

22
Q

Alpha-methyldopa AE?

A

Direct coombs + hemolytic anemia and SLE-like syndrome.

23
Q

What are the two nonselective beta-blockers (alpha and beta antagonists)

A

Carvedilol and labetalol

24
Q

What are the selective beta-blockers (beta 1 selectivity)?

A

A through M

25
Q

What are the nonselective beta-blockers (beta 1 = beta 2)?

A

N through Z

26
Q

Angina effects of beta-blockers?

A

Decreased HR and contractility

27
Q

HTN effects of beta blockers?

A

Decreased CO, decreased renin secretion

28
Q

CHF effects of beta blockers?

A

Slows progression of chronic failure.

29
Q
