|
Adenosine
Class? & Action? |
Endoginous Nucliocide/
Antiarrythmic Negative Dromotropic effects through the AV node inhibits re-entry pathway, converting SVT to NSR |
|
|
Albuterol
Class? |
Sympathomimetic/
Beta 2 specific Produces broncodilation by relaxing bronchial smooth muscle and activating adrenergic beta 2 receptors, releaves broncospasms, and reduces airway restriction. |
|
|
Atropine
Class? |
Anticholenergic
Competes with AcH for receptor sites blocking PNS response at SA and AV nodes Increases HR by increasing dromotropic effects Positive chronotropic effects Inhibits secreations in GI, Salivary, Bronchials, and sweat glands |
|
|
ASA
Class? |
Platelet aggregator inhibitor
Inhibits normal tendency for platlets to accumulate, improving blood flow through vessels to better perfuse the heart. |
|
|
Atrovent
Class? |
Anticholenergic/ Broncodilator
Muscarinic antagonist, causing broncodilatin Dries respiratory tract secretions |
|
|
Benadryl
(Diphenyhdramine Hydrochloride) Class? |
Antihistamine
Binds to histamine receptors blocking H1 which broncoconstrict and blocking H2 which cause vasodilation and secreations of gastric acid |
|
|
Calcium Chloride
(10% CACL2) Class? |
Electrolyte
Increases myocardial contractility(inotopy) Enhances ventricular automaticity Reverses cardio-electric changes produced by hyperkalemia Shifts Potassium back into cells to prevent hyperkalemia |
|
|
Charcoal
Class? |
Absobant
Binds and absorbs ingested toxins Prevents intestinal absorption, preventing toxicity |
|
|
Dextrose 50%
(D50W, 50%Glucose) |
Carbohydrate/
Antihypoglycemic Increases blood glucose by providing a quick release of free sugar into bloodstream |
|
|
Dopamine
|
Sympathomimetic
(Alpha and beta properties) Low/Med-selectively vasodilates vessels supplying Brain, Kidneys, Heart, and GI Medium/ High- Increases cardiac output by improving contractility and stroke volume, thereby increasing BP High- Vasoconstriction and increases HR |
