Cardiovascular Support

Vasoactive Drugs (1)
 Heart rate : chronotropic effect
 Myocardial contractility : inotropic effects
 Arterial pressure : vasoconstrictive effects
 Reduce afterload : vasodilator effects
Vasoactive Drugs (2)
 Alpha adrenergic receptor
- α1 : located in vascular walls
vasoconstriction
 Beta adrenergic receptor
- β1 : heart
increases in inotropy and chronotropy
- β2 : blood vessels
vasodilation
Vasoactive Drugs (3)
Dopamine (1)
 Low dose (≤3 μg/kg/min)
- dopaminergic Rc in renal & splanchnic circulations
→ increase blood flow
 Intermediate dose (3 to 10 μg/kg/min)
- β-Rc in heart and peripheral circulations
→ myocardial contractility, HR↑, peripheral vasodilation
→ Cardiac output ↑
 High dose (>10 μg/kg/min)
- α-Rc in systemic and pulmonary circulations
→ systemic and pulmonary vasoconstriction
Dopamine (2)
 Adverse effects
- Tachyarrhythmias
∙ Sinus tachycardia : most common
∙ Ventricular tachycardia
- local tissue necrosis in cases of extravasation
- Allergic reaction
Norepinephrine (1)
 α and β1-receptors
→ increase in arterial and venous vascular tone and
increase in inotropic and chronotropic activity of the Ht
 Cardiac output
- may increase or decrease
- depending on vascular resistance, the functional state of
the left ventricle, and reflex responses
 Usually induces renal and mesenteric vasoconstriction
- in sepsis, improves renal blood flow and urine output.
Norepinephrine (2)
 Dosage
- 1~2 (4) μg/min → dose up
- Mix with dextrose solution only
 Adverse effects
- local tissue necrosis in cases of extravasation
- intense systemic vasoconstriction
Dobutamine (1)
 Potent β1-receptors and weak β2-receptors agonist
- positive inotropic and chronotropic effects
- peripheral vasodilatation
→ Decreased left ventricular filling pressure
Stroke volume↑
∙ inotropic effect
∙ ventricular afterload↓(peripheral vasodilation)
Arterial pressure is unchanged or may fall
Dobutamine (2)
 Dosage
- 2 to 20 μg/kg/min
 Adverse effects
- increase in heart rate
→ may induce or exacerbate myocardial ischemia
- ectopic dysrhythmias
- headache, paresthesias, tremors, nausea, angina,
and dyspnea.
Vasopressin (1)
 Antidiuretic hormone
- maintain serum osmolality
- renal vasopressin V2 receptors
 Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle V1 receptors
- Vascular V1 receptors are coupled to phospholipase C
(release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum)
→ Vasoconstriction
Cardiac output may decrease.
Vasopressin (2)
 Management of vasodilatory shock, such as septic shock
- relative vasopressin deficiency
 Dosage
- 0.01 to 0.03(0.04) IU/min
 Adverse effects
- decrease CO
- peripheral vascular constriction or collapse
- dysrhythmias
