Glucagon - Names
Glucagon
Glucagon - Classification
pancreatic hormone
insulin antagonist
Glucagon - Action
increases breakdown of glycogen to glucose and stimulates glucose synthesis, elevating blood glucose levels

exerts positive inotropic action on the heart and decreases renal vascular resistance
Glucagon - Onset
within 1 minute
Glucagon - Duration
60 - 90 minutes
Glucagon - Indications
persistent hypoglycemia despite glucose supplementation

calcium channel blocker or beta-blocker toxicity
Glucagon - Contraindications
hypersensitivity
Glucagon - Side Effects
hypotension
N/V
tachycardia
urticaria
Glucagon - Notes
effects of anticoagulants may be increased if given with glucagon

do not mix with saline

not a first line choice for hypoglycemia
Glucagon - Pregnancy Class
Class B
Glucagon - Adult Dose, Hypoglycemia
0.5 - 1 mg/IM, may repeat in 7 - 10 minutes
Glucagon - Adult Dose, Calcium Channel Blocker/Beta-Blocker Toxicity
1 - 5 mg over 2 - 5 min IV
Glucagon - Peds Dose, Hypoglycemia
0.025 - 1 mg IM, may repeat in 7 - 10 minutes
Epinephrine - Names
Adrenaline
Epi - Classification
sympathomimetic
Epi - Action
Beta-1 stimulation increases contractility, increases heart rate, and increases AV conduction.

Beta-2 stimulation results in bronchodilation and vasodilation of vessels in skeletal muscle.

Stimulation of Alpha-1 receptors causes vasoconstriction.

Low doses decrease peripheral resistance and decreases blood pressure.

Higher doses increase vascular resistance and increases blood pressure.
Epi - Onset
SQ: 5 - 10 minutes
IV/ET: 1 - 2 minutes
Epi - Duration
5 - 10 minutes
Epi - Indications
anaphylaxis
asystole
bronchial asthma
cardiac arrest
PEA
profound symptomatic bradycardia
V-fiv & pulseless V-tach unresponsive to initial defibrillation
Epi - Contraindications
hypovolemic shock
Epi - Side Effects
dysrhythmias
headache
hypertension
nausea
precipitation of angina pectoris
restlessness
tachycardia
weakness
Epi - Pregnancy Class
Class C
Epi - Notes
may increase myocardial oxygen demand

MAOI may potentiate effects

may be deactivated by alkaline solutions (sodium bicarb, furosemide)
Epi - Adult Dose, Bradycardia/Hypotension
30 mg 1:1000 in 250 mL NS, run at 100 cc/hr and titrate to response
Epi - Adult Dose, Pulseless Arrest
