PD

What not in HD?

A

AD: Donezepil (increase ACh levels via AChEI)

PD: Benztropine (knock down PSNS with anticholinergic)

HD: too little ACh (like AD therefore DONT GIVE ANTICHOLINERGICS)

  7. Alubterol?
A
  1. B>A (alpha wins at high doses, thus use for septic shock) EBA
  2. a1>a2>b1 Increases BP but decreases Renal Perfusion NAAB (dont use in septic shock cuz A1 agonism causes too much vasoconstriction which decreases CO)
  3. ONLY BETA IBB
  4. D1=D2>B>A DADBA
    1. Low doses: increased GFR and renal excretion (D1/D2) (good for renal’s!)
    2. High doses increase inotropy (B1) and vasoconstriction (A1)
  5. B1>B2, alpha thus Ionotrophic > Chronotropic DBBA (give in acute Heart failure)
    1. Stronger inotrope than chronotrope
  6. a1>a2 Vasconstriction PAA
