Comprehensive CRNA Interview Review Accurate responses are given. Comprehensive CRNA Interview Review 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 ant...

ADH - -increases permeability to water in cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct causing higher water reabsorption -increases aquaporin, water channels, content in the apical membrane -increases blood pressure and volume ANP - -decreases Na and water reabsorption -inhibits aldosterone and ADH release Buffering of H+ in the Urine - free H+ can be reabsorbed through a pump therefore we want it to bind to something Colloid Osmotic Pressure (COP) - -osmolarity of plasma proteins -25...

Renal: Mechanism, presentation and diagnostic tests of - GFR = sum of GFRs in all functioning nephrons, so  # of functional nephrons =  GFR - BP in glomerular capillaries > BP in Bowman’s space ( Hydrostatic pressure gradient) - Renal auto-regulation to preserve GFR when BP/Volume drops: RAAS activated → dilutss Afferent (Approaching) arteriole dilates to increase perfusion to nephron, and Efferent (Exiting) arteriole constricts so less blood leaves nephron - Estimating...
