Receptors
100

These are the four different shock states

What is distributive, hypovolemic, cariogenic, and obstructive?

100

This is the desired physiologic response when vasopressors are initiated

What is vasoconstriction or increased blood pressure?

100

This is the disease state when an inotrope may be preferred over a vasopressor

What is cardiogenic shock?

100

This is the amount of blood ejected with each beat of the heart

What is Stroke Volume

100

This receptor is the primary target of norephinephrine?

What is alpha 1 adrenergic receptor?

200

This is the primary deficit in distributive shock

What is Afterload?

200

This vasopressor is preferred in septic shock?

What is norepinephrine?

200

This is the primary receptor targeted by dobuatmine to produce its inotropic effect

What is beta 1?
200

This is the force that a ventricle must overcome while it contracts during ejection

What is Afterload or Systemic Vascular resistance?

200

This is the main location of the B1 adrenergic receptor

What is the heart?

300

This is an example of a cause of obstructive shock

What is pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, or pericardial effusion?

300

This vasopressor is not titrated to effect, but rather dosed at a constant infusion rate?

What is vasopressin?

300

This is the mechanism of action of milrinone

What is PDE-3 inhibition?

300

This is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart per unit of time

What is cardiac output?

300

This is the primary role of the D4 receptor when stimulated by a dopamine agonist

What is increased contractility and increased cardiac output?

400

What happens to preload in the setting of hemorrhagic shock?

What is decreased?

400

This vasopressor has approximately 50% alpha 1 agonism and 50% beta 1 agonism

What is epinephrine?

400

This inotrope is really dose adjusted

What is milrinone?

400

This is a physiologic state of hypoperfusion

What is shock?

400

This is the receptor that is activated at maximum doses of dopamine

What is alpha 1 adrenergic receptor?

500

These are the three physiologic changes that occur in the setting of cardiogenic shock (preload, cardiac output, and afterload)

What is:

Preload: increased

Cardiac output: decreased

Afterload: increased

500

This is the mechanism of action of the drug used to reverse extravasation from a vasopressors (like norepinephrine)

What is alpha 1 antagonism?

500

These are three major side effects of dobutamine

Hypotension, tachyarrhythmias, and chest pain or headache?

500

This is the MAP of a patient with a SBP of 78 and a DBP of 45

What is 56?

500
These receptors causes vasoconstriction and an antidiuretic effect when stimulated

What is V1 and V2 receptors?
