Exam V - CV Flashcards
What is the cell signaling for Alpha 1 receptors?
Gq protein coupled
activates
Phospholipase C
activates
PIP2 –> IP3 + DAG (increases Ca++ –> contraction)
What is the cell signaling for Alpha 2 receptors?
Gi protein coupled
inhibits
Adenlyl Cyclase
inhibits
ATP –> CAMP (Less CAMP)
*just think Gi –> i for inhibitory and the Alpha 2 is a presynaptic inhibitory receptor
What is the cell signalling for Beta 1 & 2 receptors?
Gs protein coupled (stimulatory)
activates
Adenlyl Cyclase
activates
ATP –> CAMP (More CAMP)
*think s for stimulatory and the beta receptors are stimulatory
If you are giving a ton of pressors, what route of med administration should you be worried about working?
SQ
(vasoconstriction is shunting blood away from skin/superficial tissues)
CAMP in the smooth muscle causes what (contraction or relaxation?)
Relaxation
so decreased CAMP will cause vasoconstriction in the vascular smooth muscle
CAMP in the cardiac muscle causes what (contraction or relaxation?)
Contraction
Increased CAMP causes contraction of the cardiac muscle (Inotropy/chronotropy)
Phenylephrine acts primarily on _______ tone with some _______
arterial
venous
Phenylephrine is metabolized by ______ not _________
MAO
Not COMPT
Phenylephrine DOA
<5mins
Would you want to give phenylephrine w/ pulmonary HTN pts?
NO
*it increases PVR duh
(t/f) Phenylephrine RARELY may induce vasospasm: IMA, radial, gastroepiploic artery
True
Dosing for phenylephrine
- IVP : 40-100 mcg
- Infusion: 40-180mcg/min
Does phenylephrine cause a big direct increase in preload?
No
Minimal direct effect on preload (less venous effects)
Ephedrine metabolism
Neither MAO or COMT
Excreted unchanged renally
DOA of ephedrine
5-10mins
*relatively long compared to phenylephrine
Ephedrine dosing
- 5-10mg IVP
- 25-50 mg IM
What drug has a risk of malignant HTN with MAOIs
Ephedrine
*makes sense b/c we are double increasing NE in synapse
Is HR drastically increased or slightly increased w/ ephedrine?
Slightly
Vasopressor after spinal anesthesia sympathectomy in c-section pts study: Decreased risk of fetal acidosis associated with ______________ use.
phenylephrine
*give NEO w/ NEOnates
____________ is converted to DOPA by ___________ hydroxylase
(rate-limiting step for
NE synthesis)!!!
Tyrosine (Tyr)
tyrosine hydroxylase
DOPA is converted to dopamine (DA) by DOPA _____________.
decarboxylase
Dopamine is transported into vesicles then converted to _____________ by dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH)
norepinephrine (NE)
Dopamine transport into the vesicle can by blocked by the
drug ___________.
Reserpine
Both NE & Epi are metabolized by what
MAO & COMT
What is the final metabolite of NE & Epi metabolism?
Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA)
(t/f) NE hits B1 receptors less than Epi
False
(allegedly they are the same but they aren’t in real life)
(t/f) NE has less effects on B2 than Epi
True
NE dosing
2-4mcg/min starting gTT
*you could loose 2-4 limbs w/ norepinephrine
V1 receptors are located in the _________ and cause __________
Vasculature
Vasoconstriction
V2 receptors are located in the __________ and cause _________
Kidney
Fluid reabsorption
Vasopressin is released from the _______ ________
posterior pituitary
The V2 receptor can also release clotting factors _______ & ________
vWF
VIII
Cell signaling of vasopressin
Gq
activates
Phospholypase C
activates
IP3/DAG
Increased Ca++ release
activates
Myosin-light-chain kinase & phosphodiesterase
Vaso can do what to ur coags
Decrease platelet count
Vasoplegia is what
Super dilated vessels
