Q

how do changes in blood volume affect blood pressure?

A

the higher the blood volume, the greater work is needed for the heart to pump blood through the circulatory system

increased blood volume = increased blood pressure

Q

how does overall compliance affect blood pressure?

A

the elastic characteristics of the vessels contribute to the overall pressure in the vessels. The more elastic the blood vessels are, the lower the blood pressure.

increased blood vessel elasticity = decreased blood pressure

Q

how does propranolol work to reduce BP?

A

blocks beta 1 and bet 2 adrenergic receptors

41
Q

how do hydralazines regulate BP?

A

direct arterial vasodilation, reduces SVR

42
Q

how does nitroglycerin regulate BP?

A

reduces pre load and SVR

  • low dose: venous dilation
    *high dose: arterial dilation
43
Q

how does sodium nitroprusside regulate BP?

A

direct arterial vasodilation, reduces SVR

44
Q

how do ACE inhibitors (-pril) regulate BP?

A

reduce conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin II (prevents vasoconstriction)

45
Q

how do ARBs (-sartan) regulate BP?

A

prevents action of angiotensin II and produces vasodilation and increased NA+ and water excretion

46
Q

how does diltiazem regulate BP?

A

inhibits movement of calcium across cell membrane = vasodilation

47
Q

how does amlodipine regulate BP?

A

relaxes vascular smooth muscle = decreases SVR and arterial BP

48

what are some causes of hypertensive emergencies?

A

preeclampsia, eclampsia, stimulant drugs, head injury

49
Q

what are some symptoms of hypertensive emergencies

A

-Hypertensive encephalopathy

- Renal insufficiency
* Acute Kidney Injury→ renal failure
- Cardiac decompensation
* Unstable angina, MI, pulmonary edema

50
Q

hypertensive emergency treatments

A
  • Hospitalization
  • Hemodynamic monitoring
    • Arterial line: direct measure
      of arterial pressures
  • IV Anti-hypertensive
    medications
    • Direct vasodilators or
      adrenergic inhibitors
    • Treat MAP (mean arterial
      pressure)
    • Slowly decrease pressure to
      stabilize
