Q

Describe how epinephrine acts in anaphylactic shock

A

1: Supports BP (increased vasoconstriction -a1, decreased fluid loss and edma- a1, increased cardiac output- increased HR and contractility- B1)
2: Supports breathing (bronchial smooth muscle relaxation - B2, decreased mucous secretion- a1, decreased pulmonary edema- a1)
3: inhibit release of mediators of anaphylaxis (B2)
