QuestionAnswer
What are Vasodilators? Drugs used to relax the muscles controlling blood vessels, which will increase blood flow
What conditions can vasodilators be used for? Renal failure, CHF, HTN
What are the different types of vasodilators? Beta Blockers, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors, Angiotensin Receptor Blockers, Calcium channel Blockers (VND),
Effect of vasodilators on the blood Increase blood flow, decrease HR, decrease force of contraction of heart
Effect of vasodilators on oxygen consumption Decrease O2 consumption
Vasodilators can be used alone or with other drugs for the treatment HTN and CHF
Renal blood flow Volume of blood delivered to the kidneys per unit time, about 25% of CO goes to the kidney
Different structures where blood goes in the kidney Renal arteries, 5 segmental arteries. Lobular arteries, interlobular arteries, afferent arterioles, Glomerulus, Efferent arterioles, peritubular capillary network, venus channel, Inferior vena cava
Aldosterone cause what? Retention of sodium (water) from the kidney
Renin cause what? Convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and create vasoconstriction
What stimulate the release of renin? Reduced blood flow to the kidney
Angiotensin cause what? Vasoconstriction and release of aldosterone
The role of the renal tubule Reabsorbtion of ions and nutrients, especially Sodium, Secretion of H, K,
The role of glomerulus Filtration of substances from the blood to the nephron

What are the 4 elements removed by kidney Water, Sodium, Potassium, and Hydrogen
Mechanism of Diuretics Promote water loss in the urine by: -Blocking the production of H+ and bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions; -Blocking the exchange of H+ for Na+; -Blocking the exchange of K+ for Na+; -Creating an osmotic gradient through a concentration of non-absorbable molecules
Different classes of Diuretics, how many 5 classes Osmotic diuretics; Organic acids Thiazide and thiazide-like Potassium-sparing Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Reduce the production of hydrogen ions to exchange for sodium ions so water stays with sodium ions, refractory Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
Enter the tubules but cannot be reabsorbed so water stays with the concentration of diuretic molecules, non-refractory Osmotic Diuretics
Inhibit sodium and chloride ion exchange in the tubule loop of Henle, non-refractory, Most common and strongest form of diuretic Organic Acids (Loop diuretics)
Inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by multiple mechanisms along the renal tubules, nonrefractory Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics
Inhibit K+ exchange for Na+ in the distal renal tubules Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Which Diuretics are the strongest? Why? Organic/Loop diuretic. It’s non refractory, inhibit sodium and chloride ion exchange, result in a high amount of sodium and water loss.
Which Diuretics are mild and have lesser effect on electrolyte balance? Osmotic. The drug had large molecules that cannot be reabsorb my blood, so it has to follow urine secretion, and the drug attract water, no effect on any electrolyte balance.
Which Diuretics are more potent and run the risk of serious electrolyte imbalance? Organic/Loop diuretics
Side effects of different types of Diuretics Nausea; Diarrhea; Constipation; Headache; Anorexia; Hypotension (from water loss); Dizzy, lightheaded, faint; Hypokalemia (from ion exchange); Hyperuricemia, Neurotoxicity (Loop)
Diuretics effects on water, sodium Most of diuretic increase loss of sodium and water
Which Diuretics causes greater loss of K+ and which will spare K+ Loop for loss and Potassium sparing diuretic spare K
Conditions Diuretics are used for HTN, renal diseases, CHF, Edema. Glaucoma
What do local anesthetics do? Prevent or interrupt painful stimulation, or adjunct to another medication

Types of local Anesthetic that cause arrhythmias Amides. They are long lasting and go in all the circulatory system.
How Anesthetic are administered/applied topical, Intradermal, spinal, epidural, caudal, infiltration
The deposition of a solution directly into tissue Infiltration
Epinephrine with anesthetics, what changes in action and duration occur? Epinephrine is added to amide local anesthetics to constrict blood vessels and keep the drug at the site of action longer
Conduction blockade sequence 1.Small unmyelinated-sensory, autonomic; 2.Intermediate myelinated-preganglionic; 3.Large myelinated-motor, visceral sensory

Cephalosporins Bacteriocidal, Not if allergic to penicillin,
Tetracycline, shouldn’t be taken with what? Dairy or antacid products, Bacteriostatic, contra if pregnant, nursing or children <8

Difference between antiseptics and disinfectants Antiseptics for living tissues, disinfectant on non-living surfaces.
Antiseptics: types, uses, side effects Static and cidal, Reduce the growth and contamination of wounds (burns, skin ulcers), Eliminate microorganism from entering punctures encountered in procedures such as spinal, regional anesthesia, blood draws for clinical laboratory analysis
Topical adverse effects of Antiseptics Dry skin, rash, hypersensitivity
Internal adverse effects of Antiseptics Anorexia, Vomiting, Internal cramping, Convulsions, Death
