Study Notes
Adrenergic Drugs and Their Indications
- Respiratory indication for adrenergic drugs: Asthma attacks
- Adrenergic beta2 drug used to open airways in asthma attacks: Albuterol
Cardiac Emergencies
- Drug administered in an emergent cardiac situation: Dobutamine
- Dobutamine is a Positive Inotrope, increasing the force of contraction of the heart
Agonists and Antagonists
- Agonist: Binds to and activates the receptor, producing a response
- Antagonist: Binds to the receptor, blocking the action of an agonist
Endogenous and Synthetic Catecholamines
- Endogenous: Produced naturally within the body
- Synthetic catecholamine: Man-made, mimicking the action of natural catecholamines
Alpha1 Adrenergic Drugs
- Effect on the heart: Increase heart rate
- Effect on vessels: Vasoconstriction, resulting in increased blood pressure
Adrenergic Drug Administration
- Nursing implications for nasal spray administration: Monitor for potential side effects and contraindications
Sympathomimetic Drugs
- Definition: Mimic the actions of the Sympathetic nervous system
- Adrenergic drugs are a type of sympathomimetic drug, which dilate and constrict blood vessels
