Q 
Epinephrine effect on:
HR
SBP
DBP
MAP
TPR

in low dose vs normal dose

A

Low dose → decrease diastolic and mean BP
o Increase HR/SBP/slightly MAP and decrease TPR/DBP

Normal dose
o Increase all HR/SBP/DBP/MAP/TPR

Q 
Norepinephrine effect on:
HR
SBP
DBP
MAP
TPR
A

increase DBP/MAP/SBP/TPR; decrease HR
o Strong baroreceptor decreases HR
o Increases BP more than Epi due to lack of B2

Q

Dopamine effect at low, medium high dose?

A 
low = more renal flow + urine output, decrease BP a little
moderate = decrease BP a little, increase HR/CO, no change in TPR
high = increase BP, a1 effect outweighs D1 effect

Q

What is mech of metoprolol?

A

25
Q

What is mech of atenolol?

A

selective B1 blocker

26
Q

What is mech of bisoprolol?

A

selective B1 blocker

27
Q

What is mech of action of pindol?

A

partial B1/B2 agonist

  • in absence of normal physiologic agonist it is an agonist
    when high sympathetic drive –> its a beta antagonist
28
Q

What is black box warning with B blockers?

A

don’t withdraw quickly b/c upregulated B receptors cause unsafe increase in HR and contractility

29
Q

What B blocker does not have black box warning?

30
Q

WHat is mech carvedilol?

A

antagonist at B1, B2

partial antagonist at a1

31
Q

What is effect of carvedilol?

A

vasodilate, inhibits cardiac remodeling

use in HF

32
Q

What is mech of labetalol?

A

antagonist at B1/a1

partial agonist at B2 with ISA activity [aka antagonist when high intrinsic sympathetic activity]

33
Q

What is mech of phentolamine?

A

competitive a antagonist

34
Q

What is effect of phentolamine?

A

decrease BP due to a1 blockade

35
Q

What is mech of acetylcholine?

A

full agonist at M and N receptors

higher affinity for M than N

36
Q

What is effect of ACh with small vs large dose?

A 
small = quick drop in BP, reflex tachycardia
big = direct effect on SA node --> drop in BP + bradycardia
37
Q

What is mech of bethanechol?

38
Q

What is mech of nicotine?

A

N agonist –> at ganglia activates sympathetic/parasympathetic branches whichever is dominant for the most part

39
Q

What is effect of nicotine?

A
  • increase BP
  • increase HR [in part due to Epi released from adrenal]

at high dose –> ANS activation then depolarizing blockade

40
Q

What is mech of neostigmine? does it cross BBB?

A

AChe inhibitor

does not cross BBB

41
Q

What is mech of physostigmine? does it cross bbb?

A

AChe Inhibitor

crosses BBB

42
Q

What is mech of donepezil?

A

AChe inhibitor, relatively selective for brain ACh

43
Q

What is mech of rivastigmine?

A

AChe inhibitor, relatively selective for brain ACh

44
Q

What is mech of galantamine?

A

AChe inhibitor

45
Q

What is use of donepezil/rivastigmine/galantamine?

A

used to treat dementia

46
Q

What is mech of atropine?

A

M receptor antagonist

47
Q

What is mech of scopalamine?

A

M receptor antagonist

48
Q

What is mech of ipratroprium?

A

competitive non-selective muscarinic antagonist

inhalational only

49
Q

What is use of ipratroprium?

A

acute asthma exacerbation

bronchospasm w/ COPD

50
