RESUSCITATION
• Adrenaline - DOC -cardiac arrest.
• Main action - ↑ vascular resistance via α1
vasoconstriction → improves perfusion
pressure to the myocardium and brain.
• Adrenaline -greatest effect when given i.v
intraosseous route if i.v route not patent.
ADR IN ACLS
• VF/VT cardiac arrest -1mg ,in the third cycle
after 2 shocks and then every 3-5 minutes
(alternate CPR cycles).
• PEA arrest -1 mg, and then every 3-5
minutes (alternate cycles).
• Children-10 micrograms ( 0.1 mL of the
1:10,000 solution) per kg i.v ,repeated every
3-5 minutes.
ADR IN ACLS
• Bradycardia: 1mg ADR with 500ml of NS or
D5W. Infusion @ 2-10 µg/min (titrated to
effect).
• ROSC hypotension: 0.1-0.5 mcg/kg/min
• Endotracheal Tube: 2-2.5mg ADR is diluted
in 10cc NS and given directly into ET tube.
ANAPHYLAXIS
• Adrenaline is the drug of choice.
• α1-agonist, reverses -peripheral vasodilation
by inflammatory mediator release,↓ oedema.
• β activity dilates bronchial airways,
↑myocardial contractility, ↓ histamine and
LT release and ↓ severity of IgE-mediated
allergic reactions.
Management of acute anaphylaxis

ANAPHYLAXIS DOSES
• Adults-initial dose is 100 to 500 microgram
(0.1 to 0.5 mL of the 1:1,000 sol) SC or IM.
• repeated at 20 minute to 4 hour intervals
• severe anaphylactic shock, slow and
cautious IV administration-100 to 250
microgram
• Children-10 microgram per kg SC repeated
at intervals of 20 min to 4 hrs
INOTROPIC SUPPORT
• Continuous infusion in ICU- via CVP line,
with invasive blood pressure monitoring.
• Indications :
• profoundly low blood pressure,
• shock,
• low cardiac output states and
• status asthmaticus.
• There is no single appropriate
concentration.
• 4 mg Adrenaline diluted to 50 ml in saline or
5% dextrose, infused by means of a syringe
driver.
• Rate of infusion -titrated to effect, to achieve
target blood pressure.
AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
• Severe croup-m/c airway indication for Adr.
• angio-oedema- life threatening obstruction.
• racemic adrenaline -nebulized route.
• MOA-reduce the local inflammatory process
and to provide local vasoconstriction-
reducing obstruction caused by oedema.
DOSAGE
• L-Adrenaline-0.5 ml/kg of a 1:1000 solution
(maximum of 5 ml) placed undiluted into
the chamber of the nebulizer for children.
• Racemic -0.05 ml/kg (max 1.5 ml) of 2.25%
sol diluted to 4 ml NS.
Topical or local vasoconstriction
• Local vasoconstricting action- adrenaline
used as a topical application or combined
with local anaesthetic to be infiltrated.
• Prolongs its action, reduces bleeding at the
site of injection or topically (nasal mucosa
as part of Moffat’s solution)
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
• Known hypersensitivity
• Shock (other than anaphylactic shock)
• Cardiac dilatation and insufficiency
• Hypertension
• Ischaemic heart disease
• Arrhythmias
• Cerebral arteriosclerosis
• Diabetes mellitus·
• Hyperthyroidism
• Narrow angle (congestive) glaucoma
• Organic brain damage
• Phaeochromocytoma / thyrotoxicosis
• halogenated hydrocarbons or cyclopropane
• L.A in fingers, toes, ears, nose or genitalia
• Labour
NORADRENALINE
Mol formula C8H11NO3
Catecholamine with multiple
roles:
•Hormone
•Neurotransmitter.
BIOSYNTHESIS
ACTIONS
• Stress hormone
• Fight-or-flight response
• Increases heart rate
• Triggers the release of glucose
• Increases blood flow to skeletal muscle.
• Suppress neuro-inflammation.
Noradrenergic system
• Amygdala
• Cingulate gyrus
• Cingulum
• Hippocampus
• Hypothalamus
•Neocortex
• Spinal cord
• Striatum
• Thalamus
VESICULAR TRANSPORT
• Between the decarboxylation and final β-
oxidation, norepinephrine is transported
into synaptic vesicles.
• Accomplished by vesicular monoamine
transporter (VMAT) in the lipid bilayer.
• This transporter has equal affinity for
norepinephrine, epinephrine and
isoprenaline
PHARMACODYNAMICS
• Potent action-both a1 & b1 receptors
–Little action on b2
–Causes potent vasoconstriction (α)
–Lacks bronchodilating effect
–↑ systolic, diastolic & MAP
–Reflex bradycardia
–Metabolic acidosis
PHARMACOKINETICS
Onset- 1-2 min
Duration- 1-2 min
Metabolism- by COMT and MAO
Distribution
• Sympathetic nervous tissue.
• Crosses the placenta not blood-brain barrier.
Excretion- mainly urine (84-96%)
HYPOTENSIVE STATES
• First-line therapy for maintenance of B.P
and tissue perfusion in septic shock.
• adjunct to correct hemodynamic imbalances
• Start:8-12 µg/min IV infusion; titrate to
effect
• Maintenance: 2-4 mcg/min IV infusion
• Septic shock: 0.01-3 mcg/kg/min IV infusion
Cardiac Arrest
• Adjunctive Treatment in Cardiac Arrest
• Infusions of noradrenaline given during
cardiac arrest to restore and maintain an
adequate blood pressure after an effective
heartbeat and ventilation have been
established by other means.
• Initial: 8-12 mcg/min IV infusion; titrate to
effect
• Maintenance: 2-4 mcg/min IV infusion
DOSAGE
• The usual dose range is 0.01-0.1 m/kg/min
• Avg. adult maintenance dosage: 2–4 µg/min
• May require 8–30 mcg/minute in cases of
refractory shock
• Drug is diluted with 5% dextrose or
dextrose normal saline
• administered through central venous line to
minimize the risk of extravasation and
subsequent tissue necrosis
• control rate and strict monitoring
• must not be stopped suddenly, gradually
withdrawn to avoid disastrous falls in blood
pressure
Noradrenaline infusion
Noradrenaline infusion
• 4mg = 4mL of 1:1000
• Add 4mL of 1:1000 Noradrenaline to 46mL
5% Glucose to make 50mL
• Starting dose- 0.025microgram/kg/minute
• the rate in mL/hour
INFUSION TABLE
ADVERSE EFFECTS
 Hypertension , bradycardia, arrhythmias,
palpitations
 Ischemic injury -potent vasoconstriction.
 Anxiety, insomnia, confusion,
 Headaches, psychosis
 Weakness, tremor
 Anorexia, nausea and vomiting.
Extravasation
• Infusion site-checked frequently for free flow.
• Avoid extravasation of noradrenaline
• Local necrosis -vasoconstrictive action
• Blanching- change infusion site
• Extravasation-infiltrate area → 10 ml-15 ml
of saline solution containing 5 mg to 10 mg of
phentolamine.

Editor's Notes

  1. Adrenaline acts non-selectively at all the adrenergic receptors (α1, α2, β1, β2, β3) to produce a ‘flight or fight’ response. Its mechanism of action is via membrane receptors, which trigger a second messenger response
  2. Both of these formulations contain 1 mg of adrenaline
  3. once chest compressions have restarted is given as soon as intravascular access is achieved Epinephrine should not be used in cardiogenic shock because it increases myocardial oxygen demand, nor should it be used in hemorrhagic or traumatic shock
  4. (for example a 70kg adult: 7-35 mcg/min would be given). Epinephrine should be used with caution in patients suffering from myocardial infarction since epinephrine increases heart rate and raises blood pressure. This increase in HR and BP can increase myocardial oxygen demand and worsen ischemia.
  5. The preferred route is intramuscular (IM) For IM use, the anterolateral aspect of the middle third of the thigh is the best site for injection The dose can be repeated at 5 minute intervals if there is no improvement and according to the patient’s response.
  6. , and the local ICU policies and guidelines should be observed. microgram per minute (mcg/min) microgram per kilogram per minute (mcg/kg/min).
  7. Anaphylaxis Agent, Anesthetic Adjunct, Antiglaucoma, Bronchodilator, Decongestant, Vasopressor generally as alternatives to inhaled, short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists, as bronchodilators in the symptomatic treatment of bronchial asthma and reversible bronchospasm that may occur in association with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other obstructive pulmonary diseases. The ophthalmic preparations are used to decrease conjunctival and scleral inflammation and edema and to treat primary open-angle glaucoma.
  8. Smaller doses are described for conditions other than croup, but these may be increased or repeated until the desired effect is achieved. All the anticipated side effects of systemic adrenaline may occur (described above), so the patient should be carefully monitored in a high care environment.
  9. Epinephrine has been administered intra-arterially via the celiac artery, inferior mesenteric artery, or superior mesenteric artery to control hemorrhage in patients with severe GI bleeding and via the renal artery to control hemorrhage in patients with renal arterial bleeding. Epinephrine also has been injected into one renal artery prior to and during irradiation of the abdominal area involving both kidneys. The drug may protect the kidney from radiation nephritis by causing vasoconstriction which results in hypoxia. /Use not currently included in US product label/ Epinephrine has been given intra-arterially in conjunction with radiographic contrast media in arteriography. Epinephrine may improve visualization by causing vasoconstriction thereby reducing dilution of the contrast media in the blood. In addition, some tumors (especially if highly vascularized) may be better defined, apparently because epinephrine causes constriction and reduced filling of normal arteries surrounding the tumor while having minimal effect on the tumor vasculature. /Use not currently included in US product label
  10. Known hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic amines
  11. norepinephrine affects parts of the brain where attention and responding actions are controlled Along with epinephrine, norepinephrine also underlies the fight-or-flight response triggering the release of glucose from energy stores suppress neuroinflammation when released diffusely in the brain from the locus ceruleus.
  12. The noradrenergic neurons in the brain form a neurotransmitter system, that, when activated, exerts effects on large areas of the brain. The effects are alertness and arousal, and influences on the reward system. noradrenergic neurons originate both in the locus coeruleus and the lateral tegmental field. The axons of the neurons in the locus coeruleus act on adrenergic receptors in:On the other hand, axons of neurons of the lateral tegmental field act on adrenergic receptors in hypothalamus, for example
  13. Causes potent vasoconstriction (α) as well as a less pronounced increase in cardiac output May decrease tissue blood flow leading to metabolic acidocis
  14. Orally ingested noradrenaline is destroyed in the GI tract and the drug is poorly absorbed after subcutaneous injection.
  15. It causes rise in systolic ,diastolic and mean arterial pressure adjunct to correct hemodynamic imbalances in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume therapy
  16. Dilution- Drug is diluted with 5% dextrose or dextrose normal saline Should not be mixed with alkaline solution
  17. ischemic injury due to potent vasoconstrictor action may result in coldness and paleness in periphery
  18. phentolamine, an adrenergic blocking agent
  19. Also noradrenaline decreases blood flow to skin mucous membranes and kidneys but increases coronary circulation along with adrenaline
  20. Known hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic amines hypotensive from blood volume deficits except as an emergency measure to maintain coronary and cerebral artery perfusion until blood volume replacement therapy can be completed. continuously administered to maintain blood pressure in the absence of blood volume replacement, the following may occur: severe peripheral and visceral vasoconstriction, decreased renal perfusion and urine output, poor systemic blood flow despite “normal” blood pressure, tissue hypoxia, and lactate acidosis Cyclopropane and halothane anesthetics increase cardiac autonomic irritability and therefore seem to sensitize the myocardium to the action of intravenously administered epinephrine or norepinephrine.- ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.
