Norepinephrine
Phenylephrine very helpful with
MOA's
Phenylephrine Primarily peripheral _
vasoconstiction
-Resulting rise in SVR and arterial blood pressure
Phenvlephrine

4 cardiovascular effects
reflex bradycardia with decreased CO

cornary blood flow falls

decreases renal blood flow

bolus
50-200 mcg lV
typical bolus
Phenylephrine mixed
mix to 1mg / 10ml
or
100mcg/ml
Phenylephrine
used to treat 3X
Decreased BP that accompanies SNS produced by a regional anesthetic

Peripheral vasodilatation which accompanies administration of injected or inhaled anesthetics

SVT, reflex vagal effects can be used to slow HR
Phenvlephrine Continuous infusion
20-50 mcg/min
Phenylephrine Clinical uses:
Sustain BP during cardiopulmonary bypass or during carotid endarterectomy
Ephedrine class
alpha and beta adrenergic stim
Ephedrine Longer acting than Epinephrine blc it is: 4X
a noncatecholamine
-Much less potent
-Indirect and direct actions
-Stimulates the CNS
Ephedrine does not decrease
uterine blood flow

-Unlike direct-acting alpha-1 agonists
Ephedrine
n/v
Possesses antimetic properties

Particularly that which is associated with hypotension following spinal anesthesia
Ephedrine Uses:
Temp vasopressor during anesthesia
Ephedrine Dosage
-Bolus

(adults) (children)
2.5 - 10 mg IV (adults)

0.1 mg/kg IV (children)
Ephedrine Subsequent dosing leads to
tachyphylaxis
Adrenergic Antagonists 3 effects
bind to adrenoreceptors but do not activate (change cell function)

prevent activity that would normally occur

Extent of response to receptor blockade depends on degree of existing sympathetic tone
Alpha antagonists
effects 4
Bind to alpha adrenergic receptors

interferes with catecholamines or other sympathomimetics to provoke alpha-responses

Prevent the effects of catecholamines and sympathomimetics on the heart and peripheral vasculature

Prevents inhibitory action of Epinephrine on insulin secretion
(stim insulin secretion)
Alpha antagonists
4 side effects
hypotension
reflex tachycardia
impotent
unimpeded beta effects
Phentolamine
Mechanism of'action:
Competitive alpha adrenergic antagonist
(reversible blockade)

peripheral vasodilation, decline in arterial blood flow
.Phenoxybenzamine.
mechanism of action:
Binds covalently to produce an irreversible block
(Covalent bond)
Phentolamine
onset
Duration:
2 minutes

10-15 min
which structures are secondarily retroperitoneal?
duodenum (except first few cm), ascending colon, descending colon
Phentolamine Parasympathetic dominance causes 3x
Hyperperistalsis
Abdominal pain ..
Diarrhea
Phentolamine Clinical Uses: 1X
acute hypertensive emergencies
i.e. (pheo, autonomic hyperreflexia)
Phenoxybenzamine class
Non-selective alpha antagonist
Phenoxybenzamine
binding and metabolism
Binds covalently

terminated by metabolism
Phenoxybenzamine and epinephrine
Prevents Epinephrine from inhibiting insulin secretion
(greater alpha 1 effects)
Phenoxybenzamine side effects
-Miosis
-Nasal stuffines
-Sedation
Phenoxybenzamine
Clinical Uses: 3X
-Raynaud's syndrome
-Pheochromocytoma
-Excessive vasoconstriction wI asso~iated tissue ischemia (i.e.) reversing acute hemorragic shock
Beta antagonists
2 points class
Bind selectively to beta-adrenergic receptors
-Competitive inhibition
-Reversible binding
Beta antagonists
3 MOA
-Interfere with the ability of catecholamine or other sympathomimeics to provoke beta response

-Prevent effects of catecholamines on the heart, airway an blood vessels

-Most prominent effects on Cv system, but can also effect airway resistance
Beta antagonists Cross BBB and placenta producing:

5X
fatigue

lethargy

fetal bradycardia

hypotension and hypoglycemia
Beta antagonists and epinephrine
Alpha effects of epinephrine are accentuated -Because beta-2 vasodilating effects of epinephrine are blocked
Beta antagonists and resp
Bronchoconstriction
(because they are nonselective)
Beta antagonists and K
