Beta 1 agonists
dobutamine
dopamine
isoproterenol
alpha1 agonist
phenylephrine (also known as neosynephrine)
effects of phenylephrine on:
preload
afterload
Heart rate
cardiac output
alpha 1 agonist
increase preload (predominantly vasoconstriction)
increase afterload (arterial constriction)
reflex bradycardia
transient decrease CO
HR 160
BP 70/35
hx of cardiomyopathy what drug should be used
50-200mcg phenylephrine (neosynephrine).
It causes no ionotropic or chronotropic effect. Good for tachycardia or cardiomyopathy
what are the direct acting sympathomimetic?
What does this mean?
phenylephrine
methoxamine
These drugs mimic the effects of norepinephrine.
MAC of sevoflorane
1.85
MAC of Nitrous oxide
104
MAC of isoflorane
1.15
MAC of Desflorane
6.0
At what MAC wil 99% of patients not move
1.3 MAC
What does hypernatremia do to MAC
increase MAC
What does hypothermia do to MAC
decrease MAC
What is the second gas effect effect?
As one gas flows out of an air-filled space (i.e. nitrous oxide out of alveoli), the concentration of the remaining gas in that space increases (accelerated increase in PA of second gas (i.e. O2 in the alveoli) and this inturn increases rate at which brain reaches equilibrium with inspired concentration of second gas
What is the concentration effect?
The increase in the inspired concentration of a gas increases the rate of increase of PA
What is diffusion hypoxia?
If room air is inhaled the end of anesthesia, the diffusion of N2O out of the blood can lead to dilution of PaO2 leading to hypoxia.
What do all volatile anesthetics do to myocardial contractility?
Decrease contractility by altering intracellular Ca+
Which volatile anesthetics cause dose related increase in HR? Why?
Desflorane and isoflorane. Baroreceptor reflex if relatively perserved.

alpha 1 blockers
prazosin
phentolamine
phenoxybenzamine
All drugs (that I remembered) that act on the alpha 1 receptor begin with what letter? Name these drugs.
phenylephrine (neosynephrine) is an alpha 1 agonist
Prazosin, phenoxybenzamine and phentolamine are alpha 1 antagonists
What drug would be given for severe hypertension due to norepinephrine
phentolamine (alpha 1 antagonist)
At what receptors does dopamine act and what is its relationship to norepinephrine
alpa, beta, dopamine receptors
It causes increased release of norepinephrine and acts as a direct and indirect sympathomimetic
Describe the dose dependent effect of dopamine
low doses: DA1 receptor activated with dilation of renal and mesentaric vasculature
Medium dose: activate Beta1 receptors and release of NE causing activation of the heart
High dose: activation of alpha1 with vasoconstriction
What is fenoldopam and what is it used for?
DA1 agonist used for as IV treatment to increase renal perfusion during severe hypertension
What would be the treatment for a patient who has hypotension and oliguria after fluid resuscitation
dopamine
What drug acts on all adrenergic receptors?
epinephrine acts on alpha 1 and 2 and beta 1,2,3
Why is epinephrine good for establishing coronary blood flow during cardiac arrest
It increases arortic pressure (vasoconstriction due to alpha 1) causing increased coronary blood flow
What dose of epinephrine is used for pressure support, what dose is used for cardiac collapse
2-8mcg for pressure support
.02mg/kg or about 1mg for cardiac collapse
What are clinical uses for epinephrine?
pressure support (low dose)
cardiac collapse, asystole, ventricular fibrillation, electrical mechanical dissociation, anaphylactic shock (It maintains myocardial and cerebral infusion at higher doses)
