Q

Beta 2 receptors affect…

A

Smooth muscle (decreased GI motility)
Lungs (bronchodilator)
Uterus (relaxation of SM)
Liver (Increased blood sugar - glycogenolysis)

17
Q

Some drugs activate ______ adrenercic receptors while others selectively activate ______

A

Multiple

One type

18
Q

Anaphylaxis causes..

A

Hypotension
Bronchoconstriction
Edema of the glottis

19
Q

Epinephrine IM activates..

A

Alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1 and beta 2

20
Q

Epinephrine works by…

A

Increasing BP, decreasing bronchoconstriction and decreasing glottal swelling

21
Q

Swelling is reduced by these drugs by..

A

Vasoconstriction ( alpha 1)

22
Q

Epinephrine uses

A

Overcome AV heart block
Restore cardiac function following cardiac arrest
Bronchodilation for asthmatics
Treatment of choice for anaphylactic shock
Mydriasis fot ophthalmologic procedures

23
Q

Adverse effects of epinephrine

A

Hypertensive crisis
Dysrhythmias
Angina pectoris
Hyperglycemia

24
Q

Hypertensive crisis (epinephrine) is due to…

A

Vasoconstriction

25
Q

Angina pectoris (epinephrine) is caused by..

A

Increased cardiac workload

26
Q

Hyperglycemia (epinephrine) is caused by…

A

Breakdown of glycogen

27
Q

Who would have difficulty tolerating epinephrine?

A

Diabetics and cardiac patients (but would still give for anaphylaxis)

28
Q

Norepinephrine is similar to actions of epinephrine except it does not activate…

A

Beta 2 receptors
No bronchodilation but no hyperglycemia (Diabetics)
-Not as effective for anaphylaxis

29
Q

Copamine receptor activation causes…

A

Dilation of the vasculature of the kidneys

30
Q

Uses of dopamine receptor activation

A

Treatment of shock - improve renal perfusion and reduce the risk of renal failure
*Also enhances cardiac performance

31
Q

What types of shock will dopamine receptor activation be used for?

A

Hypovolemic, cardiogenic, to save the kidneys

32
Q

Receptors for dopamine (intropin)

A

Dopamine, Beta 1, alpha 1 (at high doses)

33
Q

Uses of dopamine (intropin)

A

Shock
Heart failure
Renal failure

34
Q

Adverse effects of dopamine (intropin)

A

Tachycardia, dysrhythmias, angina

35
Q

Positive inotropes..

A

Stimulate the heart

36
Q

What other drug kept kidneys going before a transplant?

A

Mannitol
