|
Albuterol (trade, class, MoA) |
Trade: proventil, Vento link Class: bronchodilator, beta agonist MoA: binds and stimulates beta 2 receptors, causing relaxation of smooth muscles of bronchial tree resulting in bronchodilation |
|
|
Albuterol (indications, contra, adverse) |
Indication: asthma, copd, bronchospasm Contra: angioedema, cardiac dysrhythmias secondary to tachycardia. Use with caution in patients with cardiac history Adverse: tachycardia, tremors, anxiety, palpitations, dysrhythmias, dry mouth, throat irritation |
|
|
Albuterol (onset, duration, dose) |
Onset: 5-15 min Duration: 3-4 hours Dose: 2.5- 5 mg nebulized |
|
|
Furosemide (trade, class, MoA) |
Trade: lasix Class: loop diuretic MoA: inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the loop of henle and proximal tubules of the nephron in the kidneys. Water follows salt, so the water is also not reabsorbed and is then excreted into the bladder and released as urine. |
|
|
Furosemide (indications, contraindications, adverse) |
Indications: chf, pulmonary edema, hypertensive crisis Contra: hypovolemia/dehydration, sulfonamide sensitivity, severe electrolyte depression. Use with caution with patients who have kidney disease/failure (dialysis pts) Adverse: hypotension, electrolyte imbalance, ekg changes from electrolyte imbalances |
|
|
Furosemide (onset, duration, dose) |
Onset: diuretic effects in 15-20 min vascular in 5 min Duration: 2 hours Dose: 0.5-1 mg/kg, not to exceed 20 mg/min |
|
|
Ipratropium Bromide (trade, class, MoA) |
Trade: atrovent Class: bronchodilator, anticholinergic MoA: antagonizes acetylcholine receptors on bronchial smooth muscle producing bronchodilation |
|
|
Ipratropium Bromide (indications, contra, adverse) |
Indications: bronchospasm, copd exacerbation Contra: closed-angle glaucoma, allergy to peanuts, soybeans, or atropine and it's derivatives Adverse reactions: tachycardia/palpitations, paradoxical acute bronchospasm, dry mouth, cough, throat irritation, headache, dizziness |
|
|
Ipratropium Bromide (onset, duration, dose) |
Onset: 5-15 min Duration: 4-6 hours Dose: 0.5 mg nebulized, once only |
|
|
Methylprednisolone sodium succinate (trade, class, MoA) |
Trade: solu-medrol Class: corticosteroid MoA: synthetic steroid that suppresses and reduces chronic and acute inflammation |
|
|
Methylprednisolone sodium succinate (indications, contra, adverse) |
Indications: anaphylaxis, asthma, copd Contra: gi bleeding, diabetes mellitus, severe infection, Cushing's syndrome Adverse: hypertension, sodium/fluid retention, alkalosis, headache, bradycardia |
|
|
Methylprednisolone sodium succinate (onset, duration, dose) |
Onset: 1-2 hours Duration: 8-24 hours Dose: 40-80 mg Iv |
|
|
Racemic epinephrine (trade, class, MoA) |
Trade: micronefrin Class: sympathomimetic bronchodilator MoA: stimulates alpha receptors, but mainly beta 2 receptors in the lungs. Cause bronchodilation, vasoconstriction, and reduced mucosa edema. Reduces histamine production |
|
|
Racemic epinephrine (indications, contraindications, adverse) |
Indications: bronchial asthma, croip, laryngeal edema Contra: epiglottitis, cardiac disease, glaucoma, hypertension, thyroid disease, diabetes, known sensitivity to sulfates Adverse: tachycardia, palpitations, tremors, cardiac dysrhythmias, hypertension, anxiety, dizziness, headache |
|
|
Racemic epinephrine (onset, duration, dose) |
Onset: less than 5 minutes Duration: 1-3 hours Dose: dilute 5 ml (1%) in 5 ml saline nebulized over 15 min |
