216
use of antidysrhythmic drugs
Ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular arrhythmias
217
amiodarone mechansim?
- class 3 antiarrythmic - blocks potassium currents preventing repolasirsation - inc duration of AP as well as refractory period - reduced cardiac excitability
218
amiodarone Ix?
- vent fib or pulseless VT - arrythmias
219
CI of amiodarone?
- severe conduction disorders - SAN disease - iodine sensitivity - sinus bradycardia unless in cardiac arrest - thryoid dysfunction
220
SE of amiodarone?
- arrhytmias - hepatic disorders - hyperthyroidism - resp disorders
221
lidocaine Ix?
- CP resus as an alt to amiodarone - vent arrythmias - anaesthesia
222
CI of lidocaine?
- severe myocardial dispression - SAN disorders - AV block
223
lidocaine SE?
- AV block - cardiac arrest - methamoglobinaemia
224
Flecanide mechanism?
- blocks sodium channels prolonging refractory period and shortening duration of potentials - prevents potassium channels from opening
225
flecainide Ix?
- SVT - vent arrhytmias
226
CI of flecanide?
- BBB - abn function - history of mI - heart failure
227
flecanide interacts w?
- BB - amiodarone
228
SE of flecanide?
- arrhythmias - dizziness - fever - oedema - QT prolongation
229
sotalol safety info?
- QT prolongation - avoid hypokalaemia and hypomag
230
sotalol Ix?
- tachyarrythmias - Life-threatening arrhythmias including ventricular tachyarrhythmias
231
CI of BB?
- Asthma - cardiogenic shock - hypotension - PAD
232
CI of sotalol?
long QT and torsades de pointes
233
SE of sotalol?
- chest pain - arrhythmia - sexual dysfunction - torsades - inc risk in females
234
sotalol mechanism?
- B1 blockage - blocks K channels slowing repolarisation and lengthening QT interval -> class three agent
235
adenosine Ix?
- SVT
236
Adenosine CI?
- asthma - COPD - long QT - AV block
237
SE of adenosine?
- abd discomfort - AV block - chest pain - discontinue - hypotension - discontinue
238
adenosine mechanism?
- agonism of adenosine A1 and A2 receptors reduces conduction time in the AVN - by inducing potassium efflux and inhibiting calcium influx - dec condution time -> antiarrythmic effecr
239
Atropine mechanism?
muscarinic antagonist
240
atropine Ix?
- bradycardia- overdose of BB - Bradycardia
241
SE of atropine?
- anhidrosis - arrythmias - hallucination - hyperthermia
242
drugs used in cardiac arrest?
- Adrenaline - Amiodarone - Atropine (bradycardia) - 8.4% sodium bicarbonate (hyperkalaemia) - Calcium chloride (hyperkalaemia) - Magnesium sulfate (hypomagnesaemia, Torsades de pointe, digoxin toxicity)
243
adrenaline mechanism?
- alpha and beta receptor and inc HR contractility - causes peripheral vasodilation - beta -2 effect - vasoconstriction - alpha effect
244
adrenaline Ix?
- CP resus - acute hypotension - anaphylaxis
245
adrenaline interacts w
BB
246
SE of adrenaline?
- angina - anx - CNS haemorrhage - metabolic acidosis - pulm oedema - excess dose or extreme sensitivity
247
8.4% sodium bicarbonate is used for
hyperkalaemia
248
sodium bicarb CI?
- Hypokal - salt restricted diet
249
sodium bicarb interactions?
- lithiun
250
side effects of sodium bicarb?
- anx - dizziness - fluid retention - metabolic alkalosis - pulm oedema
251
sodium bicarb mechanism?
- raise blood pH and shift EC potassium unto cells
252
calc chloride is used for?
hyperkalaemia
253
cal chloride indications?
- acute hypocalcaemia - acute severe hyperkalaemia
254
SE of calcium?
- constipation - diarrhoea - hypercal - nausea
255
Mg sulfate is used for
- hypomagnesaemia - Torsades de pointe, - digoxin toxicity
256
Mg sulfate indications?
- hypomag - prevention and treatment of seizures - serious arrhythmias
257
CI of mg sulfate?
In rapid bowel evacuation—acute gastro-intestinal conditions
258
side effects of Mg sulfate?
- paralytic ileus - bone demineralisation - diarrhoea
259
Mg sulfate - symptoms of hypermg?
nausea, vomiting, flushing, thirst, hypotension, drowsiness, confusion, reflexes absent (due to neuromuscular blockade), respiratory depression, speech slurred, diplopia, muscle weakness, arrhythmias, coma, and cardiac arrest.
