SELECTIVE FOR PRESYNAPTIC ALPHA 2 BLOCK. PERIPHERAL EFFECT IS DECREASED BP. CENTRAL EFFECT IS STIMULATION OF MOOD….MAY POSSIBLY INCREASE MAC.

29
Q

HOW IS PROPRANALOL METABOLIZED? HOW DOES IT AFFECT OTHER DRUGS?

A

MET IN LIVER TO ACTIVE METABOLITES. THIS DECREASES THE AMT OF AMIDE LA THE LIVER CAN METABOLIZE. PROPRANALOL ALSO DECREASES THE PULMONARY UPTAKE OF FENTANYL RESULTING IN HIGHER CIRCULATING LEVELS. ITS HIGHLY PROTEIN BOUND SO IT INCREASES THE LEVELS/EFFECTS OF DRUGS THAT COMPETE FOR PROTEINS.

P: 100MG Q 5 MIN UNTIL ARRHYTMIA IS SUPPRESSED. 1 GM IS MAX DOSE. INFUSION 2-6 MG/MIN. THERAPUTIC LEVEL IS 4-12 MCG/ML.

52
Q

WHEN HOW SHOULD ADENOSINE BE GIVEN?

A

SVT. NOT EFFECTIVE FOR A FIB, A FLUTTER, OR V TACH. SHORT HALF LIFE SO MUST BE GIVEN FAST. CONTRAINDICATED IN PTS WITH 2ND 3RD HEART BLOCK OR SICK SINUS SYNDROME UNLESS PACER IS IN PLACE.

TREATMENT OF HTN, ANGINA, ARRHYTHMIAS, CORONARY ARTERY SPASM AND MIGRANE PROPHYLAXIS.

55
Q

CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS MOA?

A

INTERFERE WITH CALCIUM ION MOVEMENT ACROSS MYOCARDIAL AND VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE. ANTIARRHYTHMIC EFFECT DUE TO INHIBITION OF CALCIUM THROUGH ALPHA SUBUNIT OF THE L TYPE SLOW CHANNELS. THIS PROLONGS REFRACTORY PERIOD WITHIN AV NODE. CEREBRAL DILATION INCREASES CBF AND ICP.

58
Q

WHEN WOULD YOU GIVE A VASODILATOR?

A

HTN CRISIS, DELIBERATE CONTROLLED HYPOTENSION, FACILITATE LEFT VENT STROKE VOLUME AS IN ACUTE FAILURE, ATTENUATE HTN INTRAOP FROM AORTIC CROSS CLAMPING. COMMON DURING NEURO, VASCULAR, AND CARDIAC ANESTHESIA.

59
Q

HOW DOES NITRIC OXIDE WORK? WHAT ARE ITS EFFECTS?

INCREASES CYCLIC GMP RESULTING IN SMOOTH MUSCLE RELAXATION. RESULTS IN BRONCHODILATION AND VASODILATION. IT ALSO ENHANCES THE ANESTHETIC STATE.

60
Q

NIPRIDE/NTG EFFECTS ON VESSELS/HEART?

A

NIPRIDE VASODILATES AND HAS NO EFFECT ON THE HEART….CAN PRODUCE A CORONARY STEAL PHENOMENON. NTG DILATES CORONARY VESSELS LEADING TO INCREASED FLOW TO ISCHEMIC AREAS SO ITS BETTER FOR PTS WITH CAD. DECREASES BP.

61
Q

A

NIPRIDE: 10-300 MCG/MIN
NTG: 5-200 MCG/MIN

63
Q

HOW DOES DIGOXIN WORK?

A

INHIBITS THE NA/K PUMP LEADING TO INCREASED SODIUM IN THE CELL. INCREASED NA=INCREASED CALCIUM INSIDE CELL LEADING TO INCREASED CONTRACTILITY.

64
Q

EFFECTS OF DIGOXIN?

A

DECREASED ACTIVITY AT SA NODE. INCREASED CONDUCTION TIME. DECREASES O2 CONSUMPTION IN HEART FAILURE. POSITIVE INOTROPIC EFFECT.

65
Q

S/S OF DIGOXIN TOXICITY?

A

EARLY: ANOREXIA, N/V.
PROLONGED P-R INTERVAL. HEART BLOCK. VTACH OR VFIB. ATRIAL TACHY IS MOST COMMON DYSRYTHMIA ATTRIBUTED TO DIG TOXICITY. PREDISPOSED TO TOXICITY IF: HYPOKALEMIC, HYPOMAGNESEAMIA, HYPERCALCEMIA, ARTERIAL HYPOXEMIA, RENAL INSUFFICIENCY, USE OF K DEPLEATING DIURETICS IS MOST COMMON CAUSE.

66
Q

HOW DO PHOSPHODIESTERASE INHIBITORS WORK?

A

COMPETATIVE INHIBITION AT PDE III. INCREASES CALCIUM MOVEMENT INTRACELLULARLY. OVERALL POSITIVE INOTROPIC EFFECT WITH VASCULAR AND AIRWAR SMOOTH MUSCLE RELAXATION.

67
Q

PDE EFFECTS AND ADVERSE RXN?
