Norepinephrine Mechanism of Action (MOA) - A1, A2, B1 agonist.
Primary agent used in distributive shock because it's ability to recruit venous
volume and augment preload, while increasing arterial tone, and increasing
cardiac output.
Alpha one causing peripheral smooth muscle contraction. (low dose venous, high
dose venous and arterial).
Alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonism actually antagonizes the release of
norepinephrine in the CNS, but these receptors are less present in peripheral
vasculature and thus, their anti-hypertensive effects are overtaken by A1 agonism.
These alpha effects can increase SVR and thereby increase cardiac workload,
decrease cardiac output, and increase coronary perfusion pressure.
The slight B1 agonism increases inotropy and chonotropy sufficiently to overcome
these A1 effects and result in a fairly "pure" vasopressor. Increasing contraction of
the heart and increasing AV nodal conduction.

**First line agent in septic shock
Epinephrine MOA - A1
A2
B1 - Stimulate Heart Rate through SA node, increase conduction through AV node.
Increase contractility to ATRIAL and VENTRICULAR cardiac muscle.
B2 - Smooth muscle relaxation. Resulting in dilation of the bronchial tree,
coronary arterial dilation. Also plays a role in insulin and glucagon secretion in the
pancreas. Also increases cardiac inotropy/chonotropy
B3 - Increase lypolysis and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue.
**Cardiogenic shock or other shock states with a cardiac component.
Adjunctive therapy in severe septic shock
IVP in cardiac arrest to augment CPP
IVP while introducing PPV/intubation

Precedex MOA - Dexmetatomadine is an alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonist that acts
both on the presynaptic neuron and postsynaptic neuron. Inihibiting
norepinephrine release pre-synaptically reduces/halts the transmission of pain,
while postsynaptically acts to reduce sympathetic tone. The combination of these
effects is anesthesia with analgesia and anxiolysis.
loading dose is 1 mg/kg while gtt is .2-1.5 mg/kg/hr
**This agent is often used for patients who would not tolerate a precipitous drop
in their sympathetic tone, for those patients in severe alcohol withdrawal.
propofol MOA - Propofol is a lypophylic general anesthetic unlike any drugs of the
class benodiazapen, barbituate, or A2 agonist. Its mechanism is proposed to be a
GABA (inhibitory neurotransmitter) agonist causing global CNS depression
Dosing for procedural sedation of .1-.5 mg/kg as a loading dose with repeat doses.
gtt titration ranging from 10-60 mcg/kg/min
**Anesthetic
