Answer A. Although used primarily via inhalation for asthma, systemic effects of albuterol include vasodilation due to its p2 receptor activation. This can result in a decrease in PVR and mean BP, which elicits a reflex tachycardia. Methoxamine and phenylephrine are Ct-receptor activators causing vasoconstriction, which would result in reflex bradycardia. Ganglion blockers (mecamylamine) prevent autonomic reflexes, and a reflex increase in heart rate could not occur in the presence of a beta blocker (propranolol).
