Vasopressors Flashcards
Dopamine: Receptors
Alpha 1, Beta 1, Dopaminergic
Dopamine: Releases which Catecholamine
Norepi
Dopamine: Effect on CO
Increase BP via peripheral vasoconstriction, little effect on stroke volume
Dopamine: Effect on MAP
More effective than dobutamine, colloid, or hydrocortisone in increasing MAP
Dopamine: Dosing Effects
Low dose: dopaminergic effect
Medium: primarily beta receptor effects
High: Primarily alpha receptor effects
Dobutamine: Receptors
Alpha 1, beta 1, beta 2
Dobutamine: Releases Catecholamine?
Does not release norepi
Dobutamine: Effect on CO
Augments myocardial contractility, decreases afterload
Epinephrine: Receptors
Alpha 1, Alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
Epi: Effect on MAP
Increases MAP and UOP
Epi: Effect on CO
INcrease SV and HR
Epi: Cautions
Peripheral ischemia
Tachycardia
Higher incidence of hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis
Epi: Low Dose stimulate
Beta Receptors –> increase contractility and peripheral vasodilation
Norepir: Receptors
Alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1
Norepi: Use
Greater than 35 weeks and refractory to dopamine or dobutamine
Norepi: Effect on CO
Increases SVR more than PVR
