Q

What are the 3 main forms of shock?

A

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

Q

What are the differences in responses b/w high dose Epinephrine & phenylephrine?

A

High Dose Epinephrine: acts like NE

Q

What is phenylephrine used for OTC? Why shouldn’t you take it if you have HTN?

A

It is an OTC decongestant.

But it is an alpha 1 agonist so you shouldn’t take it if you have hypertension.

A

beta 1

28
Q

What is phentolamine an antagonist of?

A

alpha 1 & alpha 2

29
Q

What is prazosin an antagonist of?

A

alpha 1

30
Q

What is cavadilol an antagonist of?

A

all 4 receptors!

31
Q

What is yohimbine an antagonist of?

A

alpha 2

32
Q

What’s the deal w/ tyramine?

A

It is a compound found in cheese, beer, bean curd etc that is taken up into the nerve terminal…it is metabolized by mAO…but if a person is taking a MAO inhibitor…a build up of tyramine in the nerve terminal will cause an increase in release of NE…could cause a hypertensive crisis–>stroke.

33
Q

What is something special that beta 1 antagonists can do?

A

They can inhibit renin secretion from the JGA cells of the kidney.

34
Q

What is NE used to treat?

A

severe hypotension & septic shock

35
Q

What is Epi used to treat?

A

anaphylactic shock
cardiogenic shock
cardiac arrest
local vasoconstriction

36
Q

What is isoproterenol used to treat?

A

cardiogenic shock
bradycardia
AV block

37
Q

What is dobutamine used to treat?

A

acute heart failure

38
Q

What is dopamine used to treat?

A

cardiogenic shock

39
Q

What is phenylephrine used to treat?

A

topical vasoconstriction
shock
autonomic testing of Diabetics
decongestant

40
Q

What is clonidine used to treat?

angina
cardiac arrhythmias

45
Q

What is cavadilol used to treat?

A

HTN

heart failure

46
Q

What is the deal with ACh & cardio treatment?

A

ACh is an agonist of like everything. But it isn’t administered as a part of treatment.
However, things that target the pathway in which ACh & NO cause vasodilation is targeted.

47
Q

What is digoxin & what are 2 things that it can be used to treat?

A

A cholinomimetic…like an agonist
It is used to treat atrial fibrillation b/c it decreases AV conduction.
It is also used to treat heart failure b/c it inhibits the sodium potassium pump & therefore allows more calcium to accumulate & greater contractility.

48
Q

What is atropine & what is it used to treat?

A

It is a cholinolytic.
It is used to treat bradycardia & heart block.
It blocks parasymp & therefore increases heart rate & AV conduction speed. It blocks specifically muscarinic receptors.

49
Q

What is trimethaphan & what is it used to treat?

A

It is a cholinolytic that targets nicotinic receptors.

It is used to treat HTN crisis…b/c it blocks sympathetic transmission & decreases sympathetic tone.

50
Q

What is hypovolemic shock & what is used to treat it?

A

It is shock b/c of loss of blood.
There is a sympathetic reflex that is initiated that increases alpha 1 & vasoconstriction to try to maintain BP in the face of less blood volume.
No drugs are used to treat this condition b/c the alpha effect is already maxed out.
Replacement of fluids is used.

51
Q

What is vasodilatory shock? What are its 2 types & what drugs are used to treat it?

A

It is shock produced by vasodilation. Low BP.
One type is sepsis: here you need an alpha effect–>NE or phenylephrine
Another type is anaphylaxis: here you need alpha but also beta 2 for the airways–>high dose Epi

52
Q

What is cardiogenic shock? What are the options for treatment?

A

Poor myocardial contractility.
This means low SV, Low CO, Low MAP. High venous pressure–>edema.
There is a body reflex of sympathetic activation–>vasoconstriction alpha 1.
You don’t want beta 2 b/c you want to maintain the high MAP.
Problem: high MAP increases after load. That poor heart!
Options:
Low Doses Epinephrine
Isoproterenol
Dopamine
Dobutamine
Best option is dobutamine b/c it only has beta 1. You don’t want alpha 1 b/c it is maxed out & you don’t want beta 2 b/c you want high MAP.

53
Q

What is angina? What can it be treated with?

A

too much myocardial work & O2 consumption.

treated w/ beta 1 antagonists.

53
Q

What is angina? What can it be treated with?

A

too much myocardial work & O2 consumption.

treated w/ beta 1 antagonists.

54
Q

What is heart failure & how is it treated?

A

sympathetic tone that is too much–>the poor heart is just working too hard.
beta 1 antagonists are called for here.
