Q

Hydralazine

A

Hydralazine

Class: Direct acting vasodilator, arteries > veins

MOA:

Activates guanylate cyclase, increases cyclic GMP, inhibits IP3 release of calcicum+ from SR, leading to vasodilation.

Dilates arteries > veins, leads to decrease in SVR and BP.

Pk:

Onset immediate but peak effect takes 15 minutes.

DOA: 6 hours

E12/T: 2 hours

PB: high

vd ?

Metabolized by liver, excreted in urine.

Dose:

2.5 to 10 mg IV in the OR

5 to 20 mg IV q 4 hours - ICU

SE:

Reflex tachycardia

decrease in DBP can lead to angina with EKG changes

r/f MI - usually perscribed with BB and anti-diuretics

decrease in CO leads to activation of RAAS

can have H2O + Na retention

Increase in ICP r/t cerebral dilation

Lupus like syndrome!!

Tachyphylaxis can occur!!

C/I:
Caution in patients with CAD

MUST wait appropirate amount of time between doses

Q

Sodium Nitroprusside

A

Sodium Nitroprusside

Direct NON-selective vasodilator.

Equally dilates veins and arteries

MOA:

SNP reacts with ferrous ion on HGB and forms nitric oxide, methemglobin, and cyanide ions. The nitric oxide then activates gaunylate cyclase to increase cyclic GMP and inhibit calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle and increase uptake of calcium into SR resulting in vasodilation.

Lacks significant effect on non-vascular smooth muscle.

Uses:

most potent vasodilator in the OR

Used in pheochromacytoma or to decrease afterload in CHF.

PTs MUST HAVE A-LINE FOR SNP.

Pk:

Onset: immeditate

DOA: short

E1/2T: 5 minutes

requires IV gtt to maintain therapeutic effect

must have A-line.

Metabolism; so SNP interacts with HGB to form three products: NO, cyanide, and methemglobin. 1/5 of the cyanide ions combine with methemoglobin to make cyano-methoglobin with is nontoxic. The other 4/5 of the cyanide are metabolized by the liver and kidneys to thiocynate.

Dose:

0.3 to 10 mcg/kg/min

controlled hypotension: 0.3 to 0.5 mcg/kg/min

normal dose for HTN crisis would be 1 to 2 mcg/kg as a bolus.

R/F cyanide toxicity at rates of 2 mcg/kg/min for prolonged period of time.

Should not be at max dose of 10 mcg/kg/min for longer than 10 minutes.

SE:

increased ICP

Coronary artery vasodilation - r/f coronary steal

reflex tachycardia with increased contractility

attenuate pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction, decrease PVR

Can interfere with plt aggregation and increase bleeding time.

Cyanide toxicity 2 mcg/kg/min for long periods of time.

Also thiocyanate toxicity and methemoglobinemia.

SNP must be protected from exposure to light!!!

C/I:
Increase ICP / renal failure

caution in CAD/ hypotension.

c/i in cardio hypertrophy, aortic stenosis.

Q

Labetalol

A

Labetalol

Non selective beta blocker with weak alpha1 adrenergic antagonism. Relative beta to alpha block is 7:1

MOA:

Blocks adrenergic receptors from stimulation by catecholamines, results in decreased SVR, BP, HR, contractility, but CO IS MAINTAINED.

Pk:

onset: 5 minutes

DOA: 4 hours

E1/2t: 5-8 hours

PB: 50%

Metabolized by CYP2D6, excreted in urine.

SE:

Bradycardia, hypotension

ANGINA

BRONCHOSPASM

Masks hypoglycemia effects

exercise intolerance

worsen PVD symptoms

C/I:

Asthma, COPD

DM

Cardiogenic shock/CHF

EFFECT IS DECREASED BY SALICYLATES, NSAIDs

Avoid concurrent use with CCBs.

Q

Esmolol

A

Esmolol

Cardioselective beta blocker, class II anti-arrthymic

MOA:

Blocks the effects of catecholamines at B1 receptors, decreases HR by decreasing automaticity at SA/AV node, decreases contractility, decreases BP, decreases myocardial oxygen demand.

Class II anti-arrthymic, blocks the effects of increases SNS stim that are often associated with ischemia. Can attenutate SNS stim from DVL

Pk:

Onset: immediate

DOA: <15 minutes

e1/2T: 9 minutes

Hydrolyzed quickly by plasma esterases.

Dose:

0.5 mg/kg IV bolus followed by

50-300 mcg/kg/min gtt

SE:

At low doses can decrase HR without altering BP

Hypotension, bradycardia, HB

blocks symptoms of hypoglycemia

can have bronchconstriction at high, prolonged doses

C/I:

asthma/copd r/t bronchospasm

DM.

Cardiogenic shock / CHF

Hypotension / bradycardia

EFFECT DECREASED BY SALICYLATES / NSAIDs

avoid concurrent admin with CCBs

Q

Metroprolol

A

Metroprolol

Cardioselective beta blocker, class II antidysrthmic.

MOA:

Blocks the effects of catecholmines at B1 receptors and inhibits the GPCR GaS signalling cascade, resulting in decrease HR, decrease SA/AV automaticity, decrease BP, decrase contractilty, decrease O2 demand.

Class II anti dysrthymic helps block teh effects of increases SNS stim usually accompanying myocardial ischemia, used in both atrial and ventricular tachyarrthymias.

Pk:

onset: 5 minutes

DOA: 7 hours

E1/2T: 3-4 hours

metabolized by liver, cyp-2d6. Undergoes high first pass if PO. <5% eliminated unchanged in kidneys.

SE:

Hypotension, bradycardia, HB

masks the effects of hypoglycemia

can cause bronchoconstriction at high doses for prolonged periods.

DEPPRESSION, INSOMNIA -> CROSSES BBB

C/I:

DM

Hypoglycemiai

caution in asthma/copd

cardiogenic shock

hypotension, bradycardia

EFFECTED DECREASED BY SALICYLATES, NSAIDs

Avoid concurrent use with CCB

Q

Nitroglycerine

A

Nitroglycerine

Class: organic nitrate

MOA:
Reacts with mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, thio containing compound, to produce nitric oxide. NO then activates guanylate cyclase which increases gCMP and then increases protein kinase G. Leads to cascade of events that results in dephosphorylation of myosin light chains and sequetration of calcium into smooth ER, leading to vasodilation.

Decreases preload, venous return without altering SVR, HR. Works primarily on venous capacitance vessels and large coronary arteries. Will dilate coronary arteries to ischemic areas preferentially, avoiding coronary steal phenomenon.

Pk:
Onset: Immediate

DOA: 5 minutes

E1/2t: 1.5 minutes

PB: 60%

VD: Large

Metabolized rapidly with nitrate metabolitethat is capable of producing methemoglobin by oxidation of ferrous to ferric ion in Hgb, <1% excreted unchanged in urine.

dose:

10-20mcg/min = controlled hypotension

50-200 mcg/min is regular dose

200 mcg bolus for SOO spasm

SE:

Vasodilation - Increase ICP, HA

NTG tolerance can occur after 24 hours, need some time without exposure.

Bronchodilation, attenutaes hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

Dose dependent - prolongation of bleeding time, inhbits platelet aggregation

relaxation of sphincter of oddi

C/I:

orthostatic hypotension

cranial surgery or increased ICP

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

caution for s/sx of methemoglobinemia

do not give within 24 hrs of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors
