Q

how much variability does dopamine have

A

10-75 fold variability in plasma dopamine concentrations .

30
Q

dopamine half life

A

1-2 minutes

31
Q

how do we treat extravasion of dopamine

A

local infiltration of phentolamine

32
Q

does dopamine cause CNS effects

A

no it does not cross the blood brain barrier

33
Q

protein binding of dopamine

A

partially protein bound

34
Q

is the “renal dose of dopamine” really protecting the kidneys?

A

diuretic effect-but not protective in the setting of low cardiac output. it does not improve creatinine clearance.

35
Q

is dopamine recommended in right heart failure

A

no

36
Q

what is concerning about a patient with glaucoma receiving dopamine infusion?

A

dopamine continuous infusion increases ocular pressure- concerns for patients with glaucoma

37
Q

dopamine and respiratory effects

A

inhibitory NT to the carotid bodies- results in depression of ventilation and decreased 02

38
Q

dopamine endocrine and immunologic effects.

A

suppress the secretion and function of anterior pituitary hormones

aggravating catabolism & cellular immune function

induces central hypothyroidism

39
Q

what is the function of selective beta 2 adrenergic agonist

A

relax bronchiole and uterine smooth muscle.

40
Q

do selective beta 2 stimulate the heart, which drug is the exception

A

no, isoproterenol

41
Q

beta 2 agonist clinical uses

A

asthma, prevention of exercise induced asthma, COPD, stop premature uterine contractions

42
Q

how much of a beta 2 is delivered from a MDI vs tracheal intubation

A

12% MDI

decrease 50-70% with ETT

43
Q

how much more must be delivered for bronchodilation to occur for some intubated

A

6-10x what is used for an MDI

44
Q

side effects of beta 2 inhalation

A
tremor
increased HR
hyperglycemia
hypokalemia
hypomagnesia
lactic acidosis
45
Q

albuterol - other name and dose

A

salbutamol

100mcg per puff
1-2 puff every 4-6 hours

46
Q

in relation to intubation, how is albuterol helpful

A

it blunts airway responses to tracheal intubation in asthmatic patients.

47
Q

metaproterenol- clinical uses

A

beta 2 agonist to treat asthma

48
Q

terbutaline

receptor?

admin routes

A

beta 2 agonist

PO, sub q, inhalation

49
Q

terbutaline sub q dose

A

0.25mg

50
Q

terbutaline mdi dose

A

200mcg

51
Q

3 examples of cardiac glycosides

A

digoxin, digitoxin, ouabain

52
Q

digitalis- what are cardiac glycosides made from

A

naturally occuring- foxglove plant

53
Q

digoxin clinical uses

A

svt, afib, aflutter,

uncommonly used for left ventricular contractility due to the availability of more potent less toxic drugs

54
Q

how does digoxin work

A

it slows conduction down in the av node

55
Q

what do we co administer with digoxin to limit the possibility of toxicity

A

propranolol or esmolol combined with digoxin

56
Q

if a patient has been taking digoxin and the doctor wants to do direct current cardio version what is our concern for the patient?

A

they will have an increased risk of developing cardiac dysrhythmias including vfib

57
Q

digoxin half life

peak after administration

A

1-2 days

2 hours

58
Q

in the absence of renal dysfunction, what is the most frequent cause of digitalis toxicity

A

diuretics that cause potassium depletion.

59
Q

during anesthesia what must we not do to avoid digitalis toxicity

A

hyperventilate the patient- when we hyperventilate the patient their potassium goes down0.5 per 10 decrease in pac02 leading to lethal arrhythmias.

60
Q

why is cardiopulmonary bypass dangerous with digitalis toxicity

A

impaired renal function and electrolyte changes such as hypokalmiea, hypomangesia prepose patient to digitalis toxicity

what is the most common ecg finding associated with death from digitalis toxicity

A

ventricular fibrillation

treatment of digitalis toxicity

A

correct hypokalemia, hypomangesia, hypoxemia

administer phenytoin, lidocaine, atropine to treat cardiac dysrhythmias

insert TVP if complete heart block present

64

decreases absorption

65
Q

fentanyl enflurane and isofnlurance do what in relation to digitalis
