Reflex tachycardia is most likely to occur after the systemic administration of
Although used primarily via inhalation for asthma, systemic effects of albuterol include vasodilation due to its b2 receptor activation. This can result in a decrease in PVR and mean BP, which elicits a reflex tachycardia. Methoxamine and phenylephrine are a- receptor activators causing vasoconstriction, which would result in reflex bradycardia. Ganglion blockers (trimethaphan) prevent autonomic reflexes, and a reflex increase in heart rate could not occur in the presence of a beta blocker (propranolol).
