|
Nicardipine |
-calcium channel blocker -coronary & peripheral vasodilator *monitor BP and HR continually |
|
|
Labetalol |
-slows HR; decreases PVR, CO, BP -moderately decreases preload and afterload *gradually lower BP to avoid cerebral ischemia/infarct, optic nerve infarction, angina, or MI |
|
|
Nesiritide |
-B-type natriuretic peptide -venous & arterial vasodilator * monitor BP and HR continually |
|
|
Nitroglycerin |
-coronary artery dilator: improves collateral blood flow to ischemic myocardial tissue -peripheral vasodilator: strong preload reduction, mild afterlife reduction *contraindicated within 24 hours of phosphodiesterase inhibitor use |
|
|
Nitroprusside |
-potentiates depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents -decreases SVR -moderate preload reduction, strong afterload reduction *caution with hyponatremia, hypothyroidism, severe hepatic or renal impairment *may cause thiocyanate toxicity: hypotension, confusion, tinnitus, hyperreflexia, headache, vomiting, seizures *protect from light |
