|
|
Amiodarone - Cordarone (Indications) |
PVC's, VT/VF, A-fib, SVT
|
|
|
Amiodarone - Cordarone |
ANTI-Arrhythmatic used to get an organized rhythm
|
|
|
Amiodarone - Cordarone (Precautions) |
Shock / vasodilation Negative inotropic effects Long-term use = Pulmonary Fibrosis |
|
|
Lidocane (Indications) |
Depresses automaticity Depresses excitability Raises V-Fib threshold Decreases ventricular irrability |
|
|
Lidocane (Precaution) |
reduce maintence dose for impaired liver or left ventricular dysfunction hypotension Heart block CNS Disturbances |
|
|
Magnesium Sulfate (Action) |
Slows muscle contraction and twitching |
|
|
Magnesium sulfate (Indication) |
Cardiac arrest w/ torsades de pointes or hypomagnesium state Refractory VF VF w/ ETOH Abuse Life threatening ventricular arrhythmias Acute Status Asthmaticus |
|
|
Magnesium sulfate (Precaution) |
Fall in blood pressure with rapid administration Use w/ caution if renal failure is present |
|
|
Procainamide - Pronestyl |
Recurrent VF Depresses automaticity Depresses excitability Raises Ventricular fib treshold Decreases ventricular irrability |
|
|
Adeonsine-Adenocard |
Typically used after Lidocane in wide complex tachycardias of uncertain types...
PSVT - Ventricular tachy cardia (Parodixcal) |
|
|
Adeonsine (Precaution) |
Facial Flushing Chest pain Asystole or brady cardia periods
Less effective with people taking theophyllines (methylxanthine drugs)
|
|
|
Digitalis (Indication) |
Slow ventricular response to a-fib or a-flutter Third line choice for PSVT
(Paradoxical Supraventricular Tachycardia) |
|
|
Digitalis (Precaution) |
Toxic effects are common
May cause serious hypotension
|
|
|
Epinephrine (What it do?) |
Increases HR
Increases BP
Decrease VF Threshold
Increase CPR effectiveness |
|
|
Epinephrine (Indications?) |
Cardiac arrest (VF, VT, asystole, PEA) Symptomatic bradycardia Sever hypotension Anaphylaxis |
|
|
Epinephrine (Doses) |
1 mg every 3-5 mins 0.2 mg / kg for high doses Endotracheal 2 -2.5 times normal dose
|
|
|
Atropine (What it do?) |
Inhibits the actions of structures of innervated postganglionic sites (Smooth / cardiac muscles, SA/AV nodes) |
|
|
Atropine (indications) |
Sinus Brady Cardia Organophosphate poisoning May be beneficial in AV Block |
|
|
Atropine (Precaution) |
MI and hypoxia Avoid in hypothermia Not effective in 2nd type or 3rd degree block Doses <0.5 can cause paradoxical slowing |
|
|
Atropine Dosage |
Brady cardia = 0.5 mg (Max 3mg) Endotracheal = 2-3mg diluted in water of NS Organophosphate posioning = Large doses 2-4 mg |
|
|
Vasopressin (what it do) |
Causes vasoconstriction with reduce blood flow, increasing core perfusion during cardiac arrest |
|
|
Vasopressin Indication |
alternative to epinephrine in adult refractory VF/VT Alternative to epinephrine in asystole or PEA |
|
|
Vasopressin Contraindication |
Pont peripheral vasoconstrictor |
|
|
What drug stops the Sa Node for 5-6 secs and reset rhythm? |
Adenosine adenocard |
|
|
What Drug can cause confusion? |
Lidocane |
