directly acts on Alpha and Beta receptors
what is Epinephrine
usual indications of epinephrine
What is Treatment of:

True or False
Vasopressors are also known as sympathomimetic
what is TRUE
vasopressors are also known as sympathetic adrenergic agonists or sympathomimetic, first drug choice in treating severe hypotension or shock
directly stimulates smooth muscle receptors causing vasoconstriction
What is Vasopressin
usual indications of norepinephrine
SHOCK
USED DURING CARDIAC ARREST TO GET SYMPATHETIC ACTIVITY
true or false
Patients being treated with any adrenergic agonists who are also taking ma huang, caffeinie or guarana are at decreased risk of overstimulation (including decrease in BP, stroke and death)
what is False
Patients being treated with any adrenergic agonists who are also taking ma huang, caffeinie or guarana are at INCREASED risk of overstimulation (including INCREASE in BP, stroke and death)
directly acts on Alpha and Beta receptors AND increases renal, mesentric, and coronary artery vasodilation
What is Dopamine
usual indication of dobutamine
what is treatment of HEART FAILURE
True or False
Severe hypotension or shock puts the body in serious jeopardy; it is often an acute emergency situation, with treatment required to save the patient's life
what is True
Treatment used to treat both severe hypotension and shock are sympathomimetic drugs
Acts directly on Alpha receptors, therefore increases bp, CO, and coronary perfusion.
What is Norepinephrine
what is treatment of SHOCK
True or False
The following drugs are known to be vasopressors:
what is False
The following drugs are known to be vasopressors:
BONUS
The drug used for Epinephrine reversal. It is an alpha blocker and causes a diastolic drop.
What is Phentolamine
Bonus
Usual indication for Ephedrine
What is treatment of Hypotensive episodes
Bonus
True or False
Epinephrine, a naturally occurring catecholamine, is the sympathomimetic of choice for the treatment of shock.
what is False
DOPAMINE, a naturally occurring catecholamine, is the sympathomimetic of choice for the treatment of shock.
