.
Drug highest risk of tachyarrhythmias?
Isoproterenol
then Epi, Dopa, Dobutamine
Prototypical catecholamine Stimulates
Alpha-1, Beta-1, and Beta-2 receptors
Low dose Epi
-Stimulate alpha-1 receptors in the skin, mucosa, and hepatorenal system while beta-2 receptors are stimulated in skeletal muscle
- Beta-2 effects in peripheral vasculature predominate.
- The net effect is decreased SVR and distribution of blood to skeletal muscle
- MAP remains essentially the same
-Essentially a vasodilator.
Intermediate dose Epi
- Inotrope
- Increased H.R. and contractility and increased C.O.
- Inotropic activity.
- Increased automaticity
- May lead to dysrrhythmias (PVCs) in sensitized myocardium
High dose Epi
- Most potent activator of Alpha-1 receptors
- Potent vasoconstrictor including cutaneous, splanchnic and renal vascular beds
- Used to maintain myocardial and cerebral perfusion
- Increases Aortic dBP.
- Reflex bradycardia can occur
- Vasoconstrictor.
Norepi: Cardiac output may ______ at low doses, but at higher doses may ________ because of increased afterload and baroreceptor-mediated reflex bradycardia
increase
decrease
Catecholamine Complications
- Local tissue ischemia from SQ infiltration of inoconstrictors.
- Increased myocardial oxygen consumption
- Enhance lipolysis and gluconeogenesis
- Alter electrolyte concentrations
- Activate coagulation
- Override microvascular control mechanisms
- Alter distribution of CO
- Increase myocardial work
- Increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias
Isoproterenol
- Beta-1 and Beta-2 Receptor Effects (No Alpha-1 effects)
- Increases HR , contractility, B.P., and cardiac automaticity
- Decreases SVR and diastolic BP
- Net effect is increased C.O. and decreased M.A.P.
- Bronchodilator
Isoproterenol uses
- Chemical pacemaker after heart transplant or in complete heart block
- Bronchospasm management during anesthesia
- Maybe used to attempt to decrease PVR in patients with pulmonary hypertension and RV failure***
Synthetic catecholamine with structural characteristics of Dopamine and Isoproterenol
Dobutamine
