Box 3 Flashcards
Trade name for Esmolol?
Brevibloc
Esmolol classification?
Cardioselective Beta Blocker/B-1 adrengeric receptor antagonist
Class II anti-arrhythmic agent.
Esmolol MOA?
By blocking adrengeric activity of epi and norepi, it decreases inotropic contractility, heart rate, and conduction.
Esmolol increases atrioventricular refractory time decreases oxygen demand of the myocardium, and decreases atrioventricular conduction.
A minor Beta 2 blockade has been reported with high IV infusion doses
Esmolol MOA?

Esmolol increases atrioventricular refractory time decreases oxygen demand of the myocardium, and decreases atrioventricular conduction.
A minor Beta 2 blockade has been reported with high IV infusion doses
Indications for Esmolol use?
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT); perioperative hypertension
Loading dose of Esmolol (flood)
Loading dose: 50-300 mg/kg/min
Onset, peak and duration of Esmolol?
Rapid onset and short duration.
Onset: 1-2 minutes.
Peak effect: 5-6 minutes.
Duration: 10-20 minutes.
Do not infuse for more than 48 hours.
What all routes can you infuse Esmolol?
ONLY IV
Can Esmolol cause hypoglycemia? Does Esmolol cross the BBB and the placenta?
Yes, yes, yes
elimination half time of Esmolol?
about 9 minutes
How is Esmolol cleared from the plasma and tissues?
ester hydrolysis
Classification of Labetalol?
combined alpha and Beta- adrenergic Receptor Antagonist.
Contraindications of Labetalol?
bronchial asthma, 2nd-3rd degree heart block, hepatic failure.
IV dose of labetalol?
0.1-0.5mg/kg
start with 5-10mg
Labetalol MOA?
exhibits selective α1 and non-selective β1- and β2-adrenergic antagonist effects. Presynaptic α2 receptors are spared by labetalol such that released norepinephrine can continue to inhibit further release of catecholamines via the negative feedback mechanism resulting from stimulation of α2 receptors. α to β blocking potency ratio is 1:7 IV, 1:3 Oral
Labetalol IV onset, peak, duration?
Onset: 1-3 min.
Peak: 5-15 min.
Duration: 20 min. - 2 hours.
Labetalol and inhaled anesthetics?
anesthetic inhalants may increase hypotensive effects.
Labetalol typically comes in a supply of what concentration?
20mg/4mL
Classification of Metoprolol?
Beta blocker, Beta 1 selective
Contraindications to Metoprolol use?
COPD, CAD, Vulnerable to hypoglycemia
IV dose of metoprolol?
1mg-15mg
Metoprolol MOA?
Selective B1-Adrenergic receptor antagonist
Which type of metoprolol lasts longer (has a longer elimination half-time) succinate or tartrate?
succinate 1/2 time = 5-7 hours
tartrate 1/2 time = 2-4 hours
onset of metoprolol?
1-5 min.
selectivity of metoprolol based on dose?
Selectivity is dose related and large doses become non-selective antagonist B2 receptor as well as B1
Metoprolol comes in a supply concentration of what?
1mg/1ml (or 5mg/5ml)
Classification of Neostigmine?
Anticholinesterase agent.
increases ACH by blocking cholinesterase “what breaks it down”
Contraindications to Neostigmine use?
Use with caution in patients with bradycardia, bronchial asthma, epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmias, peptic ulcer, peritonitis, or mechanical obstruction of the intestines or urinary tract
