Question
Answer
how is NorE going to affect BP? HR?   A>B so.... systolic will increase diastolic will increase HR decreases (reflex brady)  
🗑
how is epi going to affect BP? HR?   nonselective so... systolic will increase being controlled by a1 diastolic will decrease, being controlled by beta HR will increase (b1)  
🗑
how does isoproterenol affect BP? HR?   B1=B2 so... systolic decreases diastolic decreaes HR increases (reflex tachy)  
🗑
what will happen to BP if you administer an alpha blockade after giving epi?   it will decrease and then increase slightly net depressor effect b/c b2 takes over --> vasodilatioN  
🗑
what will happen to BP if you administer an alpha blockade after giving phenylephrine?   A1>a2 there is no depressor effect seen in this situation b/c phenylephrine is a pure alpha agonist  
🗑
