I have to make a presentation on Beta Blockers for my hospital group and head physician this week. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it a good one? Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, take some before your presentation. 😉

i suggest breaking it down based on those that cross over into alpha blockade, those that tend to be negative ionotropes, and those that tend to be negative chronotropes.

half-life might be a good sub-category to use.

A presentation on beta blockers? who the f*ck picked that subject? Is this family practice?

"beta-blockers: A presentation for complete *****s"
"beta bockers block the beta1 and beta2 receptors, if you don't know the effect and uses of this then go shoot yourself in the head. This has been a presentation by Columbiapsych"

perhaps you could narrow your focus and create a presentation such as 'B blockers in hypertension' or 'B blockers in congestive heart failure'.

Cool trick:

Beta blockers in general "-olol"

B1 specific blockers; first letter of the blocker's name begins with (A-M)...first half of the alphabet

Nonspecific B blockers; second half of the alphabet is the first letter

Then some are just a little bit different, i.e carvedilol and labetalol, are " a little bit different" as they end in "i"lol and "a"lol so they have some alpha blocking activity as well...

I just had to share this, although I'm still a second year...fresh off block 1 of pharm 😀

And I credit this trick to my pharm prof, pretty helpful I thought...even though I'm sure all of you on rotations already have this much straight in your heads already...and are in search of something more in depth

Maybe you could do something on the contraindications for B-blockers on diabetics and how they can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia/effect insulin release.
