- Decreased contractility
If a patient is saying their ears are ringing; what might you anticipate their plasma concentration of Lidocaine to be?
5MCG/ml
what medication would you avoid with Raynaud’s Syndrome?
Propranolol

Answers are: (finish them)
- Epinephrine is…
- Phenylephrine is…
- Dobutamine is…
- Epi (Direct general agonist)
- Neo (pure alpha agonist), A1>A2)
- Dobutamine (Beta 1 > beta 2)
Drug with greatest potential to produce ventricular arrhythmias:
Dopamine
Which is associated with active metabolites? (beta blockers)
Propranolol
LA prevent the transmission of nerve impulses by inhibiting what specific voltage gated channels?
sodium
Large IV bolus of Precedex leads to:
HTN
Bradycardia
What LA has the greatest protein binding?
Levobupivacaine
Is tetany a SE of CCB?
No
What are SE of CCBs?
hypotension H/A Flushing Edema Constipation?
What drug can cause reflex bradycardia?
Phenylephrine
What is the regional dose of lidocaine with epinephrine?
7mg/kg
Name two things that are true regarding Diltiazem?
- First line tx for SVT
- Minimal vasodilating properties; intermediate b/w verapamil and dihydrophyridines
- ) Diltiazem has minimal cardiodepressant effects and Is unlikely to interact with beta blocking drugs
- tx WPW
Ephedrine indirectly or directly stimulates…. (receptors)
indirectly
alpha and beta
What amide LA undergoes the slowest metabolism:
bupivacaine
List CCB least to greatest for AV/SA node effect & Vasodilation properties
verapamil , diltiazem, dihydrophyridines (nicardipine, etc)
List the amides in order of slowest to fastest metabolism:
fastest -to slowest : Prilocaine, Lido/mepiv, etio, bupivacaine=ropivacaine
SLOWEST -ropivacaine -bupivacaine -mepivacaine -Lidocaine -Prilocaine FASTEST
Which of the sympatholytics can be administered orally?
Ephedrine
Which of the following has very little beta stimulation?
phenylephrine
*epi, norepi, ephedrine and dobutamine definitely do
Name a rapid onset selective beta 1 antagonist:
Esmolol
Which LA is 35 times more lipid soluble and has a potency and DOA 3-4 times that of mepivacaine:
bupivicaine
Principle difference in pharmacokinetecs b/w all the beta blockers is:
elimination Half-time
Dobutamine leads to an increase in
cAMP
Clearance comparison between Ropivacaine and bupivacaine:
Bupivacaine half time is LONGER
*ropivacaine lipid solubility is less than bupivicaine; and has a shorter half time
what pharmacological effects of propranolol are most important? (2)
- decreased HR
- decreased contractility
Protein binding of Beta Blockers from greatest to least:
Propranolol > Metoprolol > atenolol
** add "PENAMA" Propranolol esmolol nadolol acebutolol Metoprolol Atenolol
