Lecture 09_Fall Flashcards
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Direct alpha 1 agonist (“pure-a”)
- peripheral vasoconstriction
- Reflex Bradycardia
- Increased coronary blood flow
Phenlephrine (Neo-Synephrine)
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Direct adrenergic agonist
- B1->inc HR, contractility
- B2-> bronchodilation
- A1-> dec. splenic/renal blood flow & inc. coronary/cerebral perfusion pressure
Epi
Identify the Adrenergic Agonista:
- non-catecholamine sympathomimetic
- Indirect > Direct
- Causes NE release -> rapid tachyphylaxis
- Mild direct Beta action -> inc HR
Ephedrine
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Direct alpha 1 stimulation
- Intense arterial and venous vasoconstriction
- end-organ ischemia/necrosis
- Pulmonary vasoconstriction
NE
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Dose related agonist to all adrenergic receptors (DA > B > A)
- Good for pedi
- causes tachy
Dopamine
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Highly potent B1 and B2 agonist
- Incr HR & contractility
- Bronchodilator
- Decrease in SVR due to peripheral vasodilation, but overall effect is inc SBP and dec DBP
Isoproterenol
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Selective B1 agonist -> inc CO due to contractility
- INOTROPE
- Coronary vasodilation
- Weak B2 activity -> slight Inc HR
Dobutamine
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Selective Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Inhibitor
- INODILATOR
- Effective pulmonary vasodilator
- Signif effect on SVR -> HYPOTENSION
Milrinone (Primacor)
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Selective DA1 receptor agonist
- Inc renal blood flow -> diuresis
- Dec PVR -> reflex tachycardia
Fenoldopam
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Selective A2 agonist (A2:A1 =220:1)
- used to treat hypertension
- Not commonly used in IV
- Sedative
- Adjunct for analgesia: add to LAs or opioids for RA
- Withdrawal syndrome: hypertensive crisis
Clonidine
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- more highly selective A2 agonist than Clonidine
- (A2:A1 = 1620:1)
- used primarily for sedation
- used to treat hypertension
Dexmedetomidine (Precidex)
Identify the Adrenergic Agonist:
- Non-adrenergic sympathomimetic
- Activation of smooth muscle V1 receptors
- Exogenous version of ADH
- Effective vasoconstrictor (binds to vascular smooth muscle)
- May preserve mesenteric perfusion better than NE
- Extravasation -> tissue necrosis
Vasopressin
Which adrenergic agonist has effects similar to epi?
Ephedrine
Which adrenergic agonist is the drug of choice in OB because it is thought to preserve uterine blood flow better than direct A1 agonsists?
Ephedrine
Does ephedrine cause greater arterial or venous vasoconstriction?
Venoconstriction > arteriolar constriction
- > Redistribution of blood centrally
- > improved venous return (preload)
