Changes in spontaneous ureteral peristalsis in experimental shock with and without administration of adrenaline
Abstract:
In a control group of anaesthetized dogs, a reduction in the number and speed of peristaltic movements of the ureter was observed during anaphylactic and dye shock. In the second, experimental, group of dogs the effect during fully-developed shock of an intravenous injection of adrenaline at the maximum active dose on the ureter dynamics was investigated. It was found that adrenaline increased the number and, to an even greater extent, the speed of peristaltic movements over a period of a few minutes' duration during which the arterial pressure remained high. It seems that adrenaline first and foremost facilitates the conduction of peristaltic stimuli in the ureter.

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.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
