Q

Beta2 stimulation

A
  • Vasodilation
  • Slight decreased peripheral resistance
  • Bronchodilation
  • Increased lipolysis
  • Increased insulin release
  • Decreased uterine tone
  • Response to drop in BP 2/2 vasodilation, HR will increase

Q

Dopamine: receptors?

A

Low doses - dopamine receptors
Medium doses - beta1 & beta2
High doses = alpha1 & alpha2

Used in shock, but studies showed that it actually did not help in renal perfusion…
