Q

What does beta 1 receptors do for adrenergic agonists? (2)

A

Increase cardiac contractility

Increase BP & HR

20
Q

What does beta 2 receptors do for adrenergic agonists? (5)

A

Bronchodilation & decrease GI tone
Increase blood flow
Relaxes smooth muscules of uterus
Activates liver glycogenolysis /increase blood glucos
Increase renin secretion in kidneys

21
Q

Adverse effects of beta adrenergic ?
CNS!(4)
cardiovascular(3)
Other (4)

A

Mild tremors
Headaches
Nervousness
Dizziness

Increase HR
palpitations
Fluctuations in BP

Sweating
Nausea
Vomitting
Muscle cramps

22
Q

Where are the dopaminergic receptors? ( this is also where they effect ) (4)

A

Kidneys
Mesentery
Heart
Brain

23
Q

Once we have stimulated on of these receptors, we have to inactivate it. Why?

A

Then we prolong the effect of the stimulation of that receptor

24
Q

How can we inactive the norepinephrine? (3)

A

By having the transmitter going back to the neurons & or enzymes that degrade that extra norepinephrine

Or even giving drugs that prolong the action of the neurotransmitter
- by either inhibiting the reuptake
- by inhibit degradation

25
Q

When we talk about our sympathomimetics or adrenergic agonists they can be classified as 3 things. What are they and give me an example?

A

Direct ( epinephrine )
- directly stimulates the receptor

Indirect ( amphetamine )
- simulates the release of epinephrine from terminal to be sent to the place

Mixed acting ( ephedrine, psuedoephedrine )
- stimulated receptors
- stimulates release of epinephrine from terminal

26
Q

What is catecholamines again?

A

A substance that produces a sympathetic response

27
Q

What are the 2 groups of catecholamines? Examples too

A

Endogenous ( epinephrine, norepinephrine & dopamine)

Synthetic catecholamines
( isoproternol, dobutamine )

28
Q

What does noncatecholamines?

A

Stimulates the receptors!! and create a response, but they last a little longer

( phenylephrine, albuterol )

29
Q

What is central acting alpha agonists?
What are the two drugs used/ used for?

A

Stimulate alpha receptors in the CNS

Clonidine
Methyldipa
( treating hypertension )

30
Q

Clinical judgement with an adrenergic agonist
Notes!!

A

Perfusion!

Looking at viral signs & drug history

Hypotension since it’s mainly drugs to help with hypertension

Record the viral signs
Report heart palpitations
Avoid continuous use of nasal sprays no cold medications!!

31
Q

If you have hypertension and or heart disease avoid these drugs why?
What type of drugs?

A

Cold medicines
Because they can aggregate it!!

32
Q

What are adrenergic antagonists?

How do they do this (2)?

A

Blocks the effects of adrenergic neutrotransmitters

Directly occupying the receptors
Indirectly releasing epinephrine & norepehrine

33
Q

What are the types of adrenergic antagonists?

A

Alpha & beta
Selective and nonselective

34
Q

What is the difference between selective and nonselective?

A

Selective will only effect alpha 1/2 and beta 1/2

However with nonselective it effects every alpha and beta receptors

35
Q

What does alpha adrenergic antagonist do?

Selective example?
Nonselective example?
Actions?

Usage?

A

Drugs that inhibit a response at alpha adrenergic receptor site

Blocks alpha 1
Blocks both alpha 1

Promotes vasodilations

Decrease BPH&PVD
( peripheral vascular disease )
( Benin prostate hyperplasia)

36
Q

Alpha 1 side effects (6)

A

Vasodilations & dizziness
Orthostatic hypotension
Pupil constrictions
Suppresses ejaculation
Reduce contraction of smooth muscles in bladder

37
Q

If a patient is on an alpha 1 adrenergic antagonist, why do we want to put them on a risk fall precaution or education them on changing positions slowly?

A

Because of the orthostatic hypotension

38
Q

What does beta adrenergic antagonists do!?
( these are beta blockers!)

Nonselective
beta blocker 1 (2)
Blocks 2 (2)

Example of nonselective ^

A

Decrease blood pressure & heart rate

Decreases BP & heart rate

Bronchocontrxrions & use with caution in patients with COPD&asthma

Atenolol
( chest pain really! )

39
Q

Why do we want to watch out with patients with chronic respiratory disease when on a nonselective beta blocker?

A

Respiratory disease will get worse

Stronger consider to change it

40
Q

Notes

Beta1
Reduce heart contractions & HR

Beta 2
Bronchospams
Contracts uterus
Inhibits glucohenolysis
( leads with hypoglycemia $

A
41
Q

Beta blockers 2, people are at risk for developing hypoglycemia why?

A

Because it inhibits glycogenolysis

42
Q

Some of our beta blockers have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, which means that?

And can be used for people who have problems with?

Then how does it help them?

A

Even though they are blocking the receptors, there is a small activity

Bradycardia

Since hypertension medications will lower there heart rate; they usually have bradycardia problems, so we have drugs with this activity to help promote low blood pressure while still having some activation of the heart from the little stimulation

43
Q

Notes
Selective blockers
- metoprolol
- decrease blood pressure

A
44
Q

Beta adrenergic blockers ( beta blockers )
Have drug interactions

How do they work with NSAIDS?
How do they work with other antihyperneeive medications ?

A

They show decrease effects with NSAIDS

they show increase effective with other antihypertensive medications ( like higher risk for hypotension )

45
Q

What are side effective if beta blockers? (4)

A

Bradycardia!!
Hypotension !!
Dysrthythmias
Palpitations !!
Dizziness
Depression
Peripheral edema !!

46
Q

What is adrenergic neuron antagonists?

What are they used for ?

A

Block the release of norepinephrine

Decrease blood pressure

47
Q

Notes
Example of adrenergic neuron antagonists?

Reserpine
Reduces the serotionin and catecholamines transmitters

Depletion of these neurotransmitters may lead to severe mental depression
