Question
Answer
Pathogenisis of hypertension - 5 causes   Increase sympathetic activity, sodium retention with increased circulating volume, increased vascular rigidity and reactivity, increased circulating catecholamines and activation of renin-angiotesin-aldosterone system, and abnormal baroreceptor responces  
🗑
What organ systems are effected by HTN that decrease life span (4 of them)   Stroke, CAD, renal failure, and retinopathy  
🗑
When should surgery be delayed regarding diastolic BP   >110 mmHg  
🗑
What are 3 classifications of drugs used for controlling BP (3 of them)   Diuretics, Vasodilators, and Adrenergic blocking agents  
🗑
What are the first line of drugs to treat HTN   Diuretics  
🗑
Name 4 vasodilator type of drugs   ACE-inhibitors, AT receptor antatagonists, calcium antagonists, and the direct vasodilator hydralazine (Apresoline)  
🗑
Name an alpha 1 antagonist drug   Prozosin (Minipress)  
🗑
Name 2 types of arterial HTN   1)Systolic and 2)systolic and diastolic  
🗑
What is a sign of systolic htn   A wide pulse pressure  
🗑
Name 3 conditions that increase stroke volume   Thyrotoxicosis, Fever, and Aortic regurgitation  
🗑
What is the cause of "systolic and diastolic" HTN   Increased peripheral vascular resistance  
🗑
What are causes of increased PVR (5 of them)   Renal dz, Endocrine dz, Neurogenic dz, hypervolume, and hypercalcium  
🗑
What are the other names of essential HTN (2 of them)   Primary hypertension and idiopathic hypertention  
🗑
Physiological factors influencing arterial BP   Preload and contractility, HR, and PVR  
🗑
"Increased ventricular strech usually leads to increased contractility" is what law   Starlings Law  
🗑
What drugs decrease HR   Beta blockers  
🗑
What is a principal mechanism for arterial BP control   Baroreceptor reflex  
🗑
Baroreceptors are located where   Walls of most large arteries and in th neck  
🗑
Where is the carotid sinus   Just above the carotid bifurcation  
🗑
What is in the carotid sinus   A high density of baroreceptors in the wall of the sinus  
🗑
When BP rises (esp. rapidly) where do the baroreceptors send their message   To the tractus solitarius of the medulla  
🗑
What does the tractus solitatius of the medulla cause in HTN   Inhibition of the vasoconstrictor center and also excitement the vagal centers  
🗑
Inhibition of the vasoconstrictor center and excitement the vagal centers cause   Vasodilatation of the veins and arterioles in the peripheral vascular beds and negative chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart occurs. (slower heart rate with reduced force of contraction).  
🗑
What are some concerns with giving anesthesia with HTN meds (3 of them)   Reduced SNS activity, Altered responses to SNS drugs (sympathomimetic), and Sedation  
🗑
Reduced SNS activity includes(4 things)   Orthostatic hypotension, Excessive hypotension responces, Reduced responces to indirect acting drugs (ephedrine) because of depleted norepinephrine, and enhanced responce to catecholamines  
🗑
T/F: Previously effective antihypertensive drug therapy should be continued during the perioperative period   True  
🗑
Non-pharmacological ways to treat HTN (5 of them)   Diet, Stress reduction, Regular aerobic exercise, Wt reduction, smoking cessation, and lowering blood lipids  
🗑
The first line of drug sequence to treat HTN is to first use   Ca blockers, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, or AT antagonists (unless other dz processes contradict)  
🗑
COPD should not receive what HTN med   Beta blockers  
🗑
CHF pt should not receive which HTN med   Beta blockers or Ca blocker  
🗑
How many miles of blood vessles are in a pound of fat   Orlando to Tampa and back (200 miles)  
🗑
What USED to be the first line of drugs given to treat HTN   Thiazide diuretics (they cause too much potassium loss and increase serum lipids)  
🗑
Diastolic pressure > 130 mmHg is defined as   Hypertensive crisis or Malignant hypertention  
🗑
A Diastolic pressure >130 mmHg should be treated how and why   Emergently with parental agents and with A-lne monitoring because of end organ damage  
🗑
What is the first drug of choice in hypertensive crises   Nipride (sodium nitroprusside)  
🗑
What are the CNS causes of HTN crises   intracranial hemorrhage, head trauma, CNS tumor, thromboembolic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage  
🗑
What are the CV causes of HTN crises   myocardial infarction, dissecting aortic aneurysm  
🗑
What are the Renal causes of HTN crises   renal artery stenosis, parenchymal renal disease  
🗑
What are Other causes (besides CNS, CV, and Renal) of HTN crises   ingestion of tyramine-rich foods in patients taking MAO inhibitors, preeclampsia, recreational drug use, hyperautonomic syndromes (chronic smoker or dysfunction), pheochromocytoma  
🗑
THe two main classes of Diuretics used in chronic HTN   1)thiazides and 2)potassium sparing drugs  
🗑
What is the objective of using diuretics   Alteration of Sodium load - A reduction in sodium leads to reduced intravascular volume and a decrease in blood pressure  
🗑
Thiazide (Hydroclorthiazide (Hydrodiuril)) diuretics cause an inhibition of NaCl transport in the   distal convoluted tubule  
🗑
Long-term antihypertensive effects of thiazides appear due to   reduced vascular resistance - The exact mechanism responsible for the reduction in vascular resistance is not known  
🗑
Thiazides, due to their inhibition of ??? increase sodium and chloride excretion   Na+-Cl- transport system  
🗑
Since thiazides increase the sodium load at the distual tubule an indirect excretion of what happens because of what   an increase of potassium is excreted via the sodium/potassium exchange mechanism  
🗑
Name potassium sparing drugs used in combination with Thiazide diuretics (2 of them)   Amiloride (Midamor) and Triamterene (Dyrenium)  
🗑
Reducing what luminal charge in the distal tubule will cause "potassium sparing"   Potassium sparing drugs reduce the net negative luminal charge in the disal tubule  
🗑
Name 3 Loop diuretics   Furosemide (Lasix), Bumetanide (Bumex), and Ethacrynic (Edecrin)  
🗑
With Loop diuretics, 30-40 % of the sodium and chloride is reabsorbed in the   Ascending loop  
🗑
T/F: Loop diuretics also increase renal blood flow by decreasing renal vascular resistance   True  
🗑
T/F: Loop diuretics increase urinary Ca++ in contrast to the action of thiazides   True  
🗑
Adverse effects of Loop diuretics   Ototoxicity, Potassium depletion, and Lasix and Edecrin can cause gout (blocking excretion of uric acid)  
🗑
What receptors do HTN sympatholytic agents stimulate   Alpha 2  
🗑
Name central acting sympatholytic HTN meds (3 of them)   Aldomet, Catapress, and Wytensin  
🗑
In the initial phase of treatment Aldomet, Catapress, and Wytensin cause   sedation and dry mouth (aka xerostomia)  
🗑
Sudden withdrawl of Aldomet, Catapress, and Wytensin cause   rebound HTN  
🗑
How is the rebound HTN caused by sudden discontinuation of Aldomet, Catapress, and Wytensin corrected   Alpha and beta andrenergic antagonists  
🗑
Name a central acting sympatholytic HTN med you can give epidural/spinal for analgesia   Clonidine 150-450 mcg (preservative free)  
🗑
what are 2 other names for Nitroprusside   Nipride and Nitropress  
🗑
Stopped hypertensive slide 30 ish    
🗑
