Name __ sympathomimetics
Epinephrine Norepinephrine Dobutamine Dopamine Milrinone Phenylephrine
Epinephrine is what type of catecholamine
Endogenous
Epinephrine stimulates what receptors with low doses (0.01-0.04 mcg/kg/min)
B1 and B2
Epinephrine’s B2 stimulation occurs where in the body? and causes what reactions?
periphery
DECREASES afterload
bronchodilation
Epinephrine’s B1 stimulation occurs where in the body? and cause what reaction?
Heart
increases inotropy/chronotropy/dromotropy
== increased CO
with low doses of Epinephrine the is a _______ change in systemic BP!!
minimal
with higher doses of Epinephrine there is stimulation of what receptor?
Alpha 1
Epinephrine’s alpha-1 stimulation occurs where in the body? and causes what reaction?
skin, mesenteric, hepatarenal constriction
=increased afterload
2 main SE of Epinephrine
- glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis= hyperglycemia
- Increase Na+/K+ pump activity= mild HypoK+
Norepinephrine is what type of catecholamine?
endogenous
Norepinephrine effects what receptors? and causes what reactions?
(same B1 as epinephrine)
- B1 increases inotropy/chronotropy/dromotropy == increased CO
- minimal B2 stimulation
- POTENT Alpha a effects- more vasoconstriction
- –hepatorenal, mesenteric, skin, and skeletal muscle constriction
Starting dose for Norepinephrine
same as epinephrine 0.01-0.02 mcg/kg/min
Norepinephrine is 1st line agent for what?
Low CO post CPB vasodilation
Dobutamine is what type of Catecholamine?
Synthetic
Dobutamine works on what receptors
partially selective B1 agonist, some B2 effects
What does the isomer of Dobutamine do?
opposing effects on alpha 1 receptors
- Dextro- blocks alpha 1
- Levo- stimulates Alpha 1
Dobutamine doses and receptors stimulated
< 5 mcg/kg/min = predominant B1-B2 agonism= increased CO, Decreased afterload
> 5mcg/kg/min= B1 stim and Alpha 1 stim= increased CO, stable afterload
Dopamine is what type of Catecholamine
endogenous
Dopamine is a precursor to what drug (catecholamine)
Noreponephrine
Dopamine stimulates what receptors
D1, D2, B1, B2, and Alpha 1
Dopamine doses? receptors stimulated and effects?
Low dose?
0.5-3 mcg/kg/min
D1
renal vascular dilation
Dopamine doses? receptors stimulated and effects?
Moderate dose?
3-10 mcg/kg/min
B1
inotrope and chronotrope
Dopamine doses? receptors stimulated and effects?
High doses?
> 10 mcg/kg/min
A1
increased afterload
Milrinone is what drug class?
Phosphodiasterase inhibitor
Milrinone is what type of catecholamine
Non-catecholamine inotrope
you dummy remember it is a phosphodiasterase inhibitor
Milrinone MOA
inhibits PDE II = decrease hydrolysis of cAMP = INCR intracellular cAP = INCR intracellular Ca++ movement
Milrinone does what to inotropy?
increases it
Milrinone does what to vascular smooth muscle?
dilates it
Milrinone may selectively dilate _______ vasculature > systemic
pulmonary
will Milrinone work in the presence of B blockade?
fuck yeah!!! you beat you ass!!!
caution dosing Milrinone in what pt’s and why?
Renal failure b/c 80% eliminated unchanged by kidneys
WHat type of catecholamine is Phenylephrine?
synthetic non-catecholamine
Phenylephrine effects what receptor
direct Alpha 1
Phenylephrine effects of alpha 1 stimulation
venous and arterial constriction
increase afterload
increase venous tone
Name 3 vasodilators
Nitroglycerine
sodium nitroprusside
nicardipine
Nitro is an organic nitrate that acts on what?
venous capacitance vessels
nitroglycerine works by generating what?
Endothelial nitric oxide
nitroglycerine causes peripheral venous _______?
pooling
nitroglycerine causes decreased LV wall tension which equals what?
decreased preload
with nitroglycerine higher doses will dilate ARTERIAL vascular smooth muscle! at what dose does this occur??
> 2 mcg/kg/min
