Effect of acetylcholine on Heart
Decreased rate, force of contraction
Effect of acetylcholine on bronchial tree
bronchoconstriction
Effect of acetylcholine on GI tract
contraction
Effect of acetylcholine on Urinary bladder
Contraction of detrusor muscle, relaxation of trigone + sphincter

bronchoconstriction
agonist of muscarinic receptors in GI tract
contraction
agonist of muscarinic receptors in urinary bladder
contraction of detrusor muscle
relaxation of trigone/sphincter
PNS is involved in ____ receptors, _____ neurotransmitter

PNS effect on bronchial tree
bronchoconstriction d/t acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors
PNS effect on heart
decreased rate/force of contraction d/t acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors
PNS effect on GI tract
Contraction d/t acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors
PNS effect on GU
contraction of detrusor muscle
relaxation of trigone/sphincter
d/t acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors
SNS effect on heart, receptor involved
increase rate/force of contraction
d/t Beta1
SNS - alpha1 agonist leads to
vasoconstriction of arteries
SNS - beta2 agonist leads to
vasodilation of skeletal muscles
SNS - alpha2 agonist leads to
vasoconstriction of veins
SNS stimulation on bronchial tree leads to _____
d/t ______
bronchodilation
d/t beta2 agonism
SNS stimulation of GI tract leads to _____
d/t ______
relaxation
d/t alpha2 agonism
SNS stimulation of pancreas leads to _____
d/t ______
insulin release decreased
d/t alpha2 agonism
SNS effect on metabolic/endocrine from beta2 stimulation
glycogenolysis (muscle, liver)
gluconeogenesis
SNS effect on metabolic/endocrine from beta1 stimulation
lipolysis
insulin release
SNS effect on urinary bladder
Beta2-contraction of detrusor muscle
alpha1-relaxation of trigone and sphincter
Pure alpha1 agonist
Phenylephrine
Pure alpha2 agonist
Clonidine, Dexmedetomidine
Pure Beta1 agonist
Dobutamine
Dopamine2 receptors
May mediate N/V
Dopamine1 receptors
act on renal/mesenteric/splenic/coronary vasculature
=vasodilation strongest in renal arteries (increased GFR)
Common uses for Epinephrine
Cardiac arrest
Allergic rxn/anaphylaxis
severe asthma/bronchospasm
hemodynamic instability
asthma/bronchospasm with hypotension - drug to use?
Epinephrine
Epinephrine Dosing
increased dosages leads to less beta1 specificity, increasing alpha
can be used as infusion
Epinephrine most common use
inotropy
Aggressive tx of bronchospasm is resistant, what is DOC?
racemic epi
epi adverse effects
tachycardia, PVCs, tachyarrhythmias
renal injury/mesenteric/peripheral ischemia
hypokalemia
epi adverse effects from supratherapeutic doses
acute heart failure, pulm edema, arrhythmias, HTN, MI
epi precautions
CAD, advanced age, pHTN, tachycardia, Rchf
central line preferred
epi rx intxns
cocaine/stimulants alpha1 blockers (hypotension/tachycardia)
epi pharmacokinetics
fast on, fast off
why is vasopressin an ideal drug?
no effect on pulmonary vasculature
epi acts on
mainly b1/b2, a1
first line tx for septic shock
norepinephrine
