[Use of beta 1-adrenostimulants in circulatory failure in patients with chronic inflammatory lung diseases]
Abstract:
In 34 patients with chronic cor pulmonale, the drugs from a group of beta-adrenostimulants, nonachlazinum and oxyphedrinum, were tested for effects on their hemodynamics, pulmonary ventilation function, blood gas composition and acid-base balance. In patients with circulatory failure due to lung diseases, nonachlazinum and oxyphedrinum were found to exert a pronounced positive intropic action, to contribute to an increase in cardiac output. The agents may be included into the multimodality therapy of patients with decompensated chronic cor pulmonale.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.

Antiasthma Drugs: β2-Adrenoceptor Agonists
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce relaxation in these...
