Harvey Flashcards
What is shock?
Life threatening condition.
Body isn’t getting enough blood flow.
What are the 3 main forms of shock?
Hypovolemic: like a hemorrhage…loss of tissue perfusion
Cardiogenic: Heart failure–>insufficient flow to tissues–>blood pressure decreases
Vasodilatory: Septic or anaphylactic shock–>causes dilation of the vascular smooth muscle of blood vessels
A positive inotropic effect changes what determinant of BP?
Changes stroke volume.
Changes Cardiac output.
What determines systolic pressure?
Afterload.
TPR determines afterload.
alpha 1 vs. beta 2 determines TPR.
What determines diastolic pressure?
TPR.
alpha 1 vs. beta 2
What determines pulse pressure?
Stroke Volume.
Remember…contractiliity determines SV.
Beta 1 determines contactility.
What changes does NE cause w/ the following: Mean Arterial Pressure Systolic Pressure Diastolic Pressure Pulse Pressure TPR HR
Mean Arterial Pressure: increases
Systolic Pressure: increases (alpha 1 effect)
Diastolic Pressure: increases (alpha 1 effect)
Pulse Pressure: increases (SV up b/c beta 1)
TPR: increases (alpha 1 effect)
HR: decreases (baroreceptor reflex of increase parasymp w/ sense of increased MAP)
What changes does Isoproterenol cause w/ the following: Mean Arterial Pressure Systolic Pressure Diastolic Pressure Pulse Pressure TPR HR
Mean Arterial Pressure: decreases (beta 2 effect)
Systolic Pressure: increases slightly (b/c of increased SV–>beta 1 effect)
Diastolic Pressure: decreases (beta 2 effect)
Pulse Pressure: increases (SV increased–>beta 1 effect)
TPR: decreases (beta 2 effect)
HR: increases (beta 1 effect)
What changes does a low dose of epinephrine cause w/ the following: Mean Arterial Pressure Systolic Pressure Diastolic Pressure Pulse Pressure TPR HR
Mean Arterial Pressure: stays relatively constant
Systolic Pressure: increases slightly (b/c of SV increased…beta 1 effect)
Diastolic Pressure: decreases (b/c of beta 2)
Pulse Pressure: increases (b/c of SV up b/c of beta 1)
TPR: decreases (beta 2)
HR: increases (beta 1)
At low doses epinephrine acts more like ______ b/c the ______ effects dominate.
At high doses epinephrine acts more like ______ b/c the _______ effects dominate.
Isoproterenol: beta
NE: alpha
What changes does a high dose of epinephrine cause w/ the following: Mean Arterial Pressure Systolic Pressure Diastolic Pressure Pulse Pressure TPR HR
Mean Arterial Pressure: increases (alpha 1)
Systolic Pressure: increases (alpha 1 & a little beta 1)
Diastolic Pressure: increases (alpha1)
Pulse Pressure: increases (SV–>beta 1)
TPR: increases (alpha 1)
HR: increases (beta 1–>but no reflex)
What are the differences in responses b/w high dose Epinephrine & phenylephrine?
High Dose Epinephrine: acts like NE
**alpha 1 & beta 1
Phenylephrine
*alpha 1
**main difference: increase in HR w/ Epi b/c of beta 1…possible reflex decrease in HR or no change w/ phenyl.
Bigger pulse pressure difference w/ Epi b/c of SV change b/c of contractility change b/c of beta 1.
How does dopamine act as low, intermediate, & high conc’ns?
Low: causes vasodilation of the kidney
Intermediate: acts like isoproterenol b/c agonist of beta 1 & 2
High: acts like NE: alpha 1 & beta 1 agonist.
What dose of dopamine would you need to increase renal blood flow?
A low dose. Causes vasodilation in the kidney.
What dose of dopamine would you need to increase cardiac output?
Intermediate dose.
Something that acts on Beta 1…here acts like isoproterenol
What dose of dopamine would you need to increase TPR & MAP?
High Dose.
Finally an alpha agonist. Acts like NE.
What is phenylephrine used for OTC? Why shouldn’t you take it if you have HTN?
It is an OTC decongestant.
But it is an alpha 1 agonist so you shouldn’t take it if you have hypertension.
What is NE an agonist of mainly?
alpha 1 & Beta1
What is Epi an agonist of mainly in low doses? High doses?
Low doses: mainly a beta 1 & beta 2 agonist
High doses: mainly an alpha 1 & beta 1 agonist
What is isoproterenol an agonist of?
beta 1 & beta 2
What is dobutamine an agonist of?
beta 1
What is phenylephrine an agonist of?
alpha 1
