Hemodynamic effects of HIGH DOSE NE include?
Decreased Cardiac Output
What type of catecholamine is NE?
Natural occurring catecholamine
What receptors does NE have an affinity for?
Dose-dependent A1, A2, B1
Receptor affinity for LOW dose NE?
B1
Low dose NE Effects?
B1- Increased Contractility, CO, BP
Receptor affinity for HIGH dose NE?
A1
High dose NE effects?
Increase SVR Decreased HR (BBR)
*masks B1 effects
NE is an ideal drug for?
LOW SVR states
-Sepsis or Post CPB HoTN d/t LOW after load
Avoid NE in which settings?
Cardiogenic Shock
-Increases MVO2 & SVR
What risk can peripheral administration of NE cause?
Extravasation of NE can cause tissue necrosis
should be administered via CL
How do you Tx NE extravasation at peripheral site?
PhenTolAmine – 2.5 - 10 mg in 10mL diluent
-vasodilates affected region
OR
Stellate Ganglion Block on affected side
-counteracts vasoconstriction by increasing BF
Key Drug interactions for NE
MAO inhibitors (MAOi) Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA)
MAOi – decreased NE clearance –> excessive SNS stimulation
TCA- reduced NE reuptake –> Excessive SNS stimulation
Infusion rate: Low Dose Epi
0.01 - 0.03 mcg/kg/min
Infusion rate: Intermediate Dose Epi
0.03 - 0.15 mcg/kg/min
