*same as epinephrine except for no beta 2 activation
*does not promote hyperglycemia
*clinical appilcations: hypotensive states & cardiac arrest
*IV infusion only
Norepinephrine
*Receptors: Dopamine, B1, and in high doses, A1
*Classification: catecholamine
*Dose dependent receptor specifity
Dopamine [Intropin]
Therapeutic Uses:
*Shock- activates B1 so dopamine can increase C.O. activating dopamine receptors. DOpamine can dilaite renal blood vessels which increases renal perfusion
*Heart Failure- alleviate symptoms by activating B1
*Acute renal failure- preserve renal function but studies show it really does not help

MAOI: intensify on heart and blood vessels & must reduce dosage by 90%
Tricylic: Moderate increase in cardiovascular effects
General anesthetics: increase risk of dysrhythmais
Adrenergic Antagonists
Beta blockers
What treatments are Beta blockers effective for?
Hypertension - from negative inotropic effects
angina pectoris
Cardiac dysrythmias - reduce Heart rate and conductivity
Exacerbate - COPD because they block B2 receptors by producing bronchodilation
