Adjuncts 1: catecholamines, noncatecholamines, beta blockers, CCBs, alpha blockers, vasodilators, antiarrythmics Flashcards
Epinephrine: class
Endogenous catecholamine and nonselective adrenergic agonist at a1, a2, b1, b2
Epinephrine: MoA
Binds to adrenergic receptors, stimulating G-coupled proteins, adenylate cyclase, and cAMP.
Low doses = stimulation of beta2 = vasodilation, bronchodilation, decreased histamine release
Higher doses = stimulation of alpha1 = peripheral, renal, splanchnic vasoconstriction and decrease in bronchial secretions
Epinephrine: PK
Onset 1-2 mins IV
DOA 5-10 mins
E 1/2t = 30 secs
Small Vd = poor lipid solubility
Epinephrine: AE
Tachycardia and severe HTN Arrhythmias Cerebral hemorrhage Hyperglycemia Hypokalemia Increased IOP Periph vascular insufficiency
Headache, nervousness, tremor
Epinephrine: CI
Non-anaphylactic shock Cardiac arrhythmias Severe hypertension Pheochromocytoma Active labor Cerebral or coronary artherosclerosis Glaucoma Renal insufficiency
Epinephrine: dosing
2-8mcg IV for hypotension
10mcg/kg for resuscitation
Continuous infusion:
1-2mcg/min beta2
4-5mcg/min beta 1
10-20mcg/min alpha 1 + beta
Norepi class:
Endogenous catecholamine
Direct acting nonselective adrenergic agonist
Alpha and B1»_space;»> B2
Norepi MoA:
Binds to alpha and beta1 adrenergic receptors, stimulating C-coupled proteins, adenylate cyclase, and cAMP.
Low doses = increased CO (inotrophy and chronotrophy) and increased blood pressure.
High doses = potent alpha1 effects outweighs beta –> arterial constriction and decreased vital organ blood flow.
Epinephrine: metabolism
COMT and MAO in the blood, liver, kidneys; metabolites excreted in urine
Norepi: PK
Rapid onset
Limited DOA
E1/2t = 2.5 mins
Norepi: metabolism
COMT and MAO in the blood, liver, kidneys; metabolites excreted in urine
Norepi: AE
Usually a result of intense vasoconstriction…
HTN Severe bradycardia End organ ischemia Hemorrhagic stroke or ischemia of cerebral vessels Renal vasoconstriction + oliguria
Anxiety and headache
Norepi: CI
HTN
Extreme hypovolemia
Mesenteric or PVD
Norepi: dosing
0.01-0.1mcg/kg/min or 4-16mcg/min
Isoproterenol: class
Synthetic catecholamine
Selective beta adrenergic receptor agonist (beta1»_space; beta 2)
Isoproterenol: MoA
Stimulates beta adrenergic receptors, stimulating g-coupled protein receptors, further stimulating adenylate cyclase and cAMP within the cell.
Beta 1 = increases inotropy and chronotropy of the heart
Beta 2 = Vascular, GI, pulmonary and uterine relaxation
Isoproterenol: PK
Immediate onset
DOA 5-10mins
E1/2t = 2.5-5mins
Isoproterenol: metabolism
COMT in liver and lungs
40-50% unchanged in urine
Isoproterenol: AE
Tachycardia, dysrhythmias
MI and increased O2 consumption
Decreased CBF
Peripheral vasodilation and hypotension
Isoproterenol: CI
HAT
Hypersensitivity
Angina/CAD
Tachycardia
Isoproterenol: dosing
0.5 - 10 mcg/min
Dobutamine: class
Synthetic catecholamine (analog of isoproterenol) Direct acting selective beta 1 adrenergic receptor agonist with some beta 2 activity at clinical doses
Dobutamine: MoA
Binds with beta1 adrenergic receptors, stimulating G-coupled proteins, adenylate cyclase, and cAMP within the cell causing influx of Ca+ and promoting cardiac muscle contractility
Dobutamine: PK
Onset 1-2mins
Peak effect in 10 mins
