What receptors does Dopamine bind?
Precursor to NorEpi (+ino and chrono)
<5 mcg/kg/min D1, vasodilation (renal flow)
5-10 mcg/kg/min ß1, (some ß2)- ↑CO
>10 mcg/kg/min α1- ↑ vasoconstriction
What receptors does Dobutamine bind?
Primarily ß agonist activity (inotropic)
Generally indicated when CO is inadequate
May lead to ↓ in BP
Neosynephrine
Phenylephrine
What does Phenylephrine bind to?
α1 agonist- primarily vascular effects- does NOT impair cardiac/renal fx
What does NE bind to?
Primary α-agonist (minimal ß agonist)

"Pure Pressor"
What does Epinephrine bind to?
Non specific α & ß agonist
↑ serum lactate conc, impairs blood flow to splanchnic system
↑ CI and significant peripheral vasoconstriction
Phenylephrine treatment
Treat mild/moderate hypotension, also PSVT
Vasopressin
ADH analog (Posterior pituitary hormone)
NE treatment
MAP and SVR
Epi
↑ in SVR predominates, vasodilator in low dose
↑ CO by ↑ inotrope and↑ HR
Ephedrine
↑: in SVR predominates
Mild ↑:CO by ↑:inotrope
Phenylepherine
↑↑ in SVR predominates
CO neutral at low doses s/t ↑:venous return offsets
the ↑:SVR effect on CO
At high doses,↑ : in SVR predominates with ↓ ;CO
Amrinone/milrinone
↓;SVR
↑:CO by phosphodiesterase inhibition
Dobutamine
↑↓:SVR
↑:CO by ↑:inotrope
Minimal stimulation to HR
Norepinephrine
↑↑ in SVR predominates because of alpha effects
↓;CO s/t ↑: in SVR offset by inotrope
↑:HR at higher doses may limit clinical effectiveness
α1 agonism
primary effect on smooth muscle with resultant
constriction
ß2 agonism
causes relaxation of smooth muscle. In smooth muscle beds of small coronary
arteries, arteries of visceral organs, and arteries of skeletal muscle b2
activation results in vasodilation. Additionally, b2 stimulation results in
mild chronotropic and inotropic improvement, although these effects are
minimal
α2 agonism
vasodilatation by endothelial nitric oxide production
Arixtra dosing
<50 kg: 5 mg once daily

50-100 kg: 7.5 mg once daily

>100 kg: 10 mg once daily

Clcr <30 mL/minute: Contraindicated

THROMBOCYTOPENIA
fondaparinux
Arixtra
Arixtra
Fondaparinux is a synthetic pentasaccharide that causes an antithrombin III-mediated selective inhibition of factor Xa. Neutralization of factor Xa interrupts the blood coagulation cascade and inhibits thrombin formation and thrombus development.
Protamine
Heparin antidote
Protamine dose
Dose of Protamine (mg) to Neutralize 100 units of Heparin

Immediate
1-1.5 mg

30-60 min
0.5-0.75 mg

>2 h
0.25-0.375 mg


Max 50 mg
Lovenox prophylaxis dose
40 mg SQ Q 24 hr
30 mg SQ Q 24 hr (CrCl <30)

RENAL ELIMINATION
Monitor: Platelets
When to get aPTT with UFH?
Every 6 hours
What to give for HIT?
Direct Thrombin Inhibitors (argatroban, lepirudin)
Lovenox treatment dose
1 mg/kg SQ Q12 hr
1 mg/kg QSQ Q 24 hr (CrCl <30)
Prothrombin t1/2
60-100 hours
X t1/2
24-40 hours
VII t1/2
6-8 hours
Warfarin Metabolism
S- (strong, 2C9)
R- (3A4)
EtOH and Warfarin
Acute EtOH- inhibit metabolism (↑ INR)
Chronic EtOH- induce metabolism (↓ INR)
Smoking and Warfarin
Smoking induces P450
Hydralazine
need to look up
cilostazole MOA
need to look up
Lexiscan
regadenoson
Adenosine MOA
slows conduction at AV node
Adenosine use
PSVT and Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Atropine MOA
Antagonizes action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in smooth muscle, secretory glands and CNS. (Muscarinic reversal, no effects on Nicotinic)
