Q

what are the mechanisms of action of glucocorticoids?

A

inhibit release of inflammatory mediators from macrophages and eosinophils
decrease synthesis and release of cytokines important in immune response
decrease synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, platelet activating factor
enhance effects of adrenergic agonists on bronchial smooth muscle

Q

what are the main classes of bronchodilators?

A

adrenergic agonists
anticholinergics
methylxanthines

17
Q

what are some beta2 agonists in small animals?

A

terbutaline
albuterol

18
Q

which beta2 agonist cannot be used as chronic treatment in cats?

A

albuterol

19
Q

what are the beta2 agonists in equine?

A

clenbuterol
albuterol
salmeterol

20
Q

which beta2 agonist cannot be used in food animals?

A

clenbuterol

21
Q

what can non-selective agonists do that is adverse?

A

may activate beta1 and also cause tachycardia and arrhythmias
alpha1: vasoconstriction

22
Q

what are some methylxanthines?

A

theophylline (most effective)
caffeine
theobromine (least effective)

23
Q

what is important about albuterol in cats?

A

inhalant is racemic mixture
S-form is pro-inflammatory in cat
S-form accumulates with longer term treatment

24
Q

why are bronchodilators rarely used in dogs?

A

minimal bronchoconstriction in chronic bronchitis

25
Q

what is used for chronic bronchodilation?

A

theophylline

26
Q

what is used for inflammation in canine chronic bronchitis?

A

prednisone
fluticasone (inhaled)

27
Q

what anti-inflammatories are used in equine asthma?

A

dexamethasone
prednisolone
ciclesonide, fluticasone (inhaled)

28
Q

what are the adverse effects of clenbuterol?

A

sweating
tachycardia
muscle tremors
inhibits uterine contractions

29
Q

how can epinephrine cause acute bronchoconstriction?

A

alpha and beta adrenergic agonist

30
Q

what are the mechanisms for pulmonary edema?

A

negative pressure pulmonary edema: post-anesthesia
pneumonia
cardiogenic
acute respiratory distress syndrome

31
Q

what are the therapeutic principles for pulmonary edema?

A

address underlying cause
diuresis: reduce blood volume and pressure, increases oncotic pressure

32
Q

what can be given to dogs with anxiety associated with dyspnea?

A

butorphanol
buprenorphine and acepromazine

33
Q

what can be given in respiratory distress?

A

oxygen
acepromazine
butorphanol
glucocorticoids sometimes

34
Q

what is terbutaline like?

A

minimal beta1 activity
longer lasting
parenteral bronchodilator of choice in cats
