Q

Can Vasopressors be used in Central line?

phentolamine (antidote)

A

YES or else

Tissue necrosis with extravastation:
o To avoid: administer through a central line

o Treat extravasation with intradermal administration of
10-15 ml of saline and** 5-10 mg of phentolamine**

 • Phentolamine: blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors
  causing vasodilation and minimizes necrosis

20
Q

Vasopression

A

Antidiuretic hormone

V1 Receptors – located in smooth muscle in blood vessels, hepatocytes, platelets, and on some cells in kidney

V2 Receptors: located in the renal collecting duct

Higher doses restricted in shock due to AEs

AE:

Decreased CO and circulation to skin and GI tract
peripheral ischemia
Hyponatremia**

May decrease CO and circulation to skin and GI tract (high doses > 0.04 units/min), decreased splanchnic circulation (high doses > 0.04 units/min), peripheral ischemia, hyponatremia

0.01-0.04 units/min (higher doses NOT recommended in shock–>Will cause auto amputee??? Vasopressors

24
Q

Hypovolemic Shock: Causes

A

Blood loss (shot wounds)

release inflammatory mediators. 
--> TNF-α
--> IL-1
--> IL-6
  1. Vasodilation
  2. Vascular endothelial injury resulting in activation of the coagulation cascade
  3. o Fluid to leak out of vasculature and into tissues
