Blood Pressure Management Flashcards
What events cause hypotension and/or bradycardia?
- Induction
- Deep anesthesia
- Insufflation
- Vagal response
- Blood loss
- Prolonged duration (insensible loss)
Hypotension and/or bradycardia treatments
IDENTIFY CAUSE
HR related → anticholinergic
Preload → fluids and/or products
Vasodilation → decrease anesthetic or vasoconstrictor
Cardiac depressant → increase contractility
Phenylephrine MOA
Direct α1 agonist
↑SVR & reflex bradycardia
Phenylephrine Dose
Bolus 40-100 mcg
Infusion 20-300 mcg/min OR 0.15-0.75 mcg/kg/min
Phenylephrine Onset
< 1 minute
Phenylephrine DOA
15-20 minutes
Ephedrine MOA
Mixed α/β direct & indirect agonist
1° ↑contractility (BP & HR)
Ephedrine Dose
Bolus 5-10 mg
Ephedrine Onset
< 1 minute
Ephedrine DOA
15-60 minutes
Vasopressin MOA
α1 potent vasoconstriction
Vasopressin Dose
Bolus 1 unit
Infusion 0.04-0.1u/min
Vasopressin Onset
1-5 minutes
Vasopressin DOA
10-30 minutes
Norepinephrine MOA
Mixed α/β direct agonist (α > β)
↑SVR & tachyarrhythmias
Norepinephrine Dose
Infusion 1-30 mcg/min OR 0.01-0.2 mcg/kg/min
Norepinephrine Onset
< 1 minutes
