Q

What are some objectives of the SNS?

A
  • Maintenance of blood flow to the brain
  • Redistribution of blood flow during exercise
  • Compensation for loss of blood, primarily by causing vasoconstriction
  • Implementation of “fight-or-flight” reaction

Q

The implementation of the fight or flight reaction includes what?

A
  • Increasing heart rate and blood pressure
  • Shunting blood away from the skin and viscera to the skeletal mm
  • Dilating the bronchi to improve oxygenation
  • Dilating the pupils to see better
  • Mobilizing stored energy thereby providing glucose for the brain and fatty acids for the muscles

Q

What does the Parasympathetic nervous system do? (PNS)

A

Regulatory functions:

  • Slowing the heart rate
  • Increased gastric secretion
  • Emptying the bladder
  • Emptying the bowel
  • Focusing the eye for near vision
  • Constricting the pupil
  • Contracting bronchial smooth muscle

25
Alpha agonist is used for?
Central acting paradoxically reduces SNS stimulation and also used for pain.
26
What is the drug used for pain?
clonindine (catapres)
27
What are some adverse reactions of an catapres?
- severe rebound HTN - serious if withdrawn in less than 3 days, PT ED is very important - drowsiness in 1/3 pts population - Teach the PT not to drive SAFETY is the biggest concern
28
Beta 1 affects?
affects the heart
29
Beta 2 affects?
affects the lungs, also in skeletal muscles, also binds to epinephrine causing vasodilation
30
Beta blockers block what?
beta 1 and 2
31
Alpha 1 stimulated by ?
norepinephrine causing vasoconstriction
32
Alpha 2 found in the?
brain and inhibits norepinephrine and helps calm you down
33
One of the biggest side affects of prazosin (Minipress) is?
First dose syncope (1% lose of consciousness)
34
Selective Beta Blockers blocks?
blocks b1 predominantly
35
Metroprolol is the drug of choice for ?
selective BB
36
Propranolol is the drug of choice for?
nonselective BB
37
Propranolol will cause?
more effects on the entire body
38
Nonselective BB blocks what?
both B1 and B2
39
Adverse effects of a beta blockade?
They block 1 and 2. | Also SNS response won't be available when needed during exercise and hypoglycemic episodes
40
During a hypoglycemic episode, want can it trigger?
normally triggers stress response as signal to encourage eating
41
Adverse effects of a beta 1 block?
- There is an SA node block which leads to bradycardia - Negative inotrope leads to reduced cardiac output and can precipitate to HEART FAILURE - can cause AV heart block leads to heart rhythm changes - rebound cardiac excitation if withdrawn abruptly and can lead to dysrhythmias and agina
42
If HR is less than 60, do we give Beta blockers?
NO, since this reduces HR, monitor for heart failure
43
Coreg is ?
one of the newer drugs for heart failure
44
Adverse effects of beta 2 blockade?
- All of the B1 blockade SE AND -Bronchoconstriction CI for COPD and Asthma -Inhibits glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose for immediate use- B2B may cause hypoglycemia) -CNS side effects- fatigue, depression
45
Nonselective B1 and B2 blocker drug is ?
propranolol (inderal)
46
What is the drug of choice for initial hyperthyroidism?
Propranolol because it blocks the action of the thyroid hormone.
47
Typical dose of propranolol?
60mg bid
48
What are some precautions and warnings when pt is using propranolol and have diabetes?
HR slows down; masks hypoglycemia tachycardia
49
What are some precautions and warnings when pt is using propranolol and have history of anaphylactic allergies?
Pts have issues with epinephrine
50
What are some precautions and warnings when pt is using propranolol and have COPD or asthmatics?
It can make symptom worse
51
What are some precautions and warnings when pt is using propranolol and have psychiatric disorders?
It can make depression worse
52
What are some Drug interactions with nonselective B1 & B2 Blocker: propranolol?
- Calcium channel blockers (CCB) | - Insulin
53
What does CCB cause?
- causes coronary artery vasodilation - cause peripheral arterial vasodilation, thus decreasing systemic vascular resistance - reduces the workload of the heart resulting in decreased myocardial oxygen demand
54
What is a selective Beta 1 blocker?
Metoprolol (lopressor/Toprol XL)*
55
When can a B1B become nonselective?
At high enough doses
56
This drug is safer for asthma and anaphylaxis pts.
Selective B1B : Metoprolol
57
3 Drug interactions with selective B1B Metoprolol?
1. Sinus Bradycardia (<60HR) 2. AV Block greater than 1st degree 3. Heart Failure (HF)
58
What is the 3rd generation Beta blocker? (BB)
Labetalol
59
what does labetalol do?
blocks both alpha and beta receptors and vasodilates
60
How is labetalol used?
Used IV to get BP down emergently - HTN crises - CVA needing thrombolytic tx
61
What is the dose for labetalol?
-20mg IV over minimum 2 minutres | Freguently dilute and give over 10min
62
When a pt has a HTN Urgency, why must you bring the blood pressure down over a few days?
To prevent end organ damage. If dropped to rapid can cause ischemia of the brain, heart, kidneys, and eyes, which are used to high pressure to perfuse them.
63
What is the treatment (Tx) for HTN Urgency crisis?
ICU drugs - labetalol or hydralazine IV; esmolol or nitroprusside drip (ICU)
