Antihypertensives/Beta Blockers Flashcards
labetalol nonselective β-1 effects
decreases HR and contractiliity
labetalol nonselective β-2 effects
vasodilation
where is labetalol selective
α-1 adrenergic agoist
what does labetalol cause at α-1 receptors
arterial vasodilation
labetalol blockade ratio
1 α to 7 β
labetalol uses
acute and chronic HTN in pregnant pts, treat increases in BP and HR from stimulation (intubation)
how does labetalol cause ↓ BP
decreased CO and PVR, can depress cardiac contractility, minimally affects CBP or ICP
when is labetalol contraindicated
bronchospastic disease → impaired cardiac conduction or underlying resting bradycardia
labetalol dose
5-20 mg boluses IV
labetalol onset
1-2 min
labetalol duration
up to 6 hrs
esmolol mechanism of action
Rapid-onset and short-acting selective Beta-1 antagonist
esmolol uses
treat perioperative tachycardia, pre-treatment during intubation/extubation
esmolol ♡ effects
Decrease in HR, myocardial contractility, CO , and some decrease in BP, with no rebound effects
when is esmolol contraindicated
bradycardia
heart block
cardiogenic shock
heart failure
esmolol dose
10mg boluses IV
infusions of 50 mcq/kg/min after a .5mg/kg bolus
esmolol onset and duration
rapid onset; 10-15 min duration
how is esmolol metabolized
by plasma esterases
propranolol class
non selective β-1 and β-2 antagonist
propranolol uses
HTN, angina, acute MI, pheochromocytoma, treat anxiety and panic attacks
