Is epinephrine a vasodilator or a vasoconstrictor?
2011年9月1日 · Systemic low dose epinephrine has the ability to cause vasodilation by beta-2 agonist effect > alpha-1 agonist effect. Local epinephrine in low doses does just that, stays local. But even then, in the local environment, there is probably more alpha-1 effect then beta-2.
Low dose vs high dose Epinephrine | Student Doctor Network
2008年2月18日 · The low dose shows a preference for beta receptors over alpha, leading to the reflexive decrease in BP, but even at a high dose, it would still act on them. Think about your fight or flight response for high dose epi.
The binding affinity to and receptor of epinephrine at different dose
2012年6月21日 · The B2 receptors are more predominant in skeletal muscle, which is why you see a decline in BP with low dose EPI. At a physiological (low) dose, the beta effects will tend to predominate. As the dose is increased, EPI binds to more alpha receptors, at which point, alpha receptor BP effects will tend to dominate.
epinephrine, norepinephrine and insulin release
2012年1月8日 · On the USMLE, it would be 100% wrong to ever say that epinephrine inhibits insulin release. They get all technical about the alpha-2 crap, but it's not relevant. Epinephrine acts most sensitively on beta-2, so it causes insulin release via G-alpha-s. Low-dose epinephrine = beta-2 > alpha-1/2 High-dose epinephrine = alpha-1/2 > beta-2

2015年4月24日 · Low dose epi predom acts on Beta receptors. so acting like isoproterenol medium dose like dobutamine so predominantly on beta 1, bc its b2 effect will cancel with its increased alpha effects and high dose epi = norepi.
Does infusing EPI vasoconstrict or vasodilate? - Student Doctor …
2011年7月6日 · Low-dose epinephrine was also an answer choice. The basis of the question was to show that norepinephrine induces a basoreceptor reflex, causing a decrease in HR when BP increases. Hexamethonium, since that's a nicotinic receptor blocker, is a drug that inhibits the baroreceptor reflex from subsequently occurring (however, giving the drug ...

2011年10月1日 · Epinephrine's actions slightly differ based on its dose. With a low dose, epinephrine acts similar to a non-selective beta agonist (B1 and B2), such as isoproterenol. With a high dose, epinephrine acts on A1, B1, and B2. The A1 action of epinephrine (in a high dose) will mask the B2 action, making it act similar to norepinephrine.

2021年7月7日 · Patients receiving low dose epinephrine infusion had maintenance of heart rate and cardiac index whereas both heart rate and cardiac index declined significantly throughout surgery in patients receiving phenylephrine (p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0001, respectively). Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity increased significantly during surgery (p ...
epinephrine dosage calculations | Student Doctor Network
2008年10月29日 · For pediatric badness the dose was somewhat flexible, depending on the amount of badness. Fortunately I only had to give epi to kids a couple if times, anywhere from 1 mcg/kg to 10 mcg/kg and doses could be repeated depending on clinical situation. For adults the code dose is 1 mg of the 1:10,000 (the bristojet).
Cheat sheet for mixing drips/bags? | Student Doctor Network
2009年10月1日 · I know how to make push dose epi, and put 1mg in 1L to make a dirty epi drip. But I know I've worked at places where they make low concentration epi for peripheral lines, and high concentration for central lines. I think 4mcg/ml vs 16mcg/mL, but I could be wrong. And then what about bicarb drips?
