Term
what does chronic HTN do to baroreceptors and why is this important during anesthesia

chronic HTN causes changes in the tolerance of baroreceptors to the increase pressures. AS a result it resets the scale and allows for higher pressures to be present without stimulation of the vagal center in the medulla.

Following brainbridge reflex (Atrial stretch reflex) following increase blood return will result in ANP release. ANP tells kidneys to excrete more Na and H20 b/c it senses higher than normal preload. ANP will also in the short term vasodilate vessels to try and immediately decrease preload. While the reflex increases HR to try and promote faster forward movement of excess blood to keep blood from being backed up.
