Sedatives and Analgesics Flashcards
catecholamine receptor types
- domapine (D1, D2)
- adrenergic (a1, a2, B1, B2)
are dopamine receptors ionotropic or metabotropic
metabotropic
D1: Gs –> increase cAMP
D2: Gi –> decrease cAMP
D1 agonists
vasodilation of splanchnic organs
increased blood flow
D1 antagonists
vasoconstriction of splanchnic organs
decreased blood flow
D2 agonists
emesis
anxiety and fear
D2 antagonists
antiemetic
reduce anxiety and fear
a1 agonists
excitement
vasoconstriction
splenic contraction –> elevated HCT
hypertension
a1 antagonists
sedation
vasodilation
splenic relaxation –> low HCT
hypotension
a2 agonists
sedation
analgesia
muscle relaxation
high dose: vasoconstriction + hypertension
low dose: vasodilation + hypotension
bradycardia
increase urination (inhibit ADH)
hyperglycemia (decrease insulin)
a2 antagonists
excitement
muscle tone
tachycardia
decrease urination
hypoglycemia
acepromazine
D2 and a1 antagonist
central and peripheral effects
effects of acepromazine
D2 antagonist:
1. tranquilization
2. antiemetic
a1 antagonist:
1. sedation
2. vasodilation
3. hypotension
4. decreased PCV
dexmedetomidine
a2 agonist
central and peripheral effects
effects of dexmedetomidine
- sedation
- analgesia
- relaxation
- vasoconstriction + hypertension followed by vasodilation and hypotension
- bradycardia
- hyperglycemia
- polyuria
are opioid receptors ionotropic or metabotropic
metabotropic
Gi protein –> decreases cAMP
