Question/Term
Answer
When clinical signs of volume overload exists, these drugs are used to increase urinary output, decrease blood volume, preload, and cardiac workload.   show
🗑
Three types of diuretics used to decrease blood volume and lower blood pressure.   show
🗑
These diuretics depress Na reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle and promote potassium excretion.   show
🗑
show Class: Diuretics; loop diuretics  
🗑
Diuretics: Prevent Na and water reabsorption in the distal tubules while promoting potassium excretion.   show
🗑
show Class: antihypertensive, diuretic; thiazide diuretic  
🗑
Inhibits aldosterone, causing Na to be excreted in the distal tubule, but sparing potassium.   show
🗑
show Class; diuretics, potassium sparing diuretics  
🗑
Labs to monitor during Diuretic therapy   show
🗑
show Renal failure. Cumulative effects of the thiazide may develop in patients with impaired renal function. In such patients, thiazides may precipitate azotemia (increased urea).  
🗑
show Beta Blockers  
🗑
show Lower b/p by blocking beta receptors in the heart and peripheral vessels, reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output.  
🗑
acebutolol (Sectral); atenolol (Tenormin); betaxolol (Kerlone); bisoprolol (Zebeta); esmolol (Brevibloc); metoprolol (Lopressor and Torprol-XL)   show
🗑
show block beta2-adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle of the bronchioles and blood vessels. Does not only work specially on the heart.  
🗑
show Nonselective beta-blockers  
🗑
show HTN crisis  
🗑
show apical pulse rate; 50bpm  
🗑
iontrope   show
🗑
chonotrope   show
🗑
show Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (Ace-inhibitors)  
🗑
Ace Inhibitors also blocks the release of what to reduce Na and water retension.   show
🗑
benazepril (Lotensin); captopril (Capoten); enalapril/enalaprilat (Vasotec, Vasotec IV), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinvil, Zestril); moexipril (Univasc); perindopril (Aceon); quinapril (Accupril); ramipril (Altace); trandolapril (Mavik)   show
🗑
show Ace inhibitors  
🗑
lab tests considerations for Ace inhibitors   show
🗑
