CHF (especially with beta blockers), conduction abnormalities
38
Cardizem (Diltiazem) | Dose/Route
0.25 mg/kg IV over 2 min, may repeat as needed with 0.35 mg/kg followed by a drip of 5 to 10 mg/hr not to exceed 15 mg/hr over 24 hrs. Pedi: not used
39
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) | Class
Sympathomimetic
40
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) | Description
Naturally occurring catecholamine that increases heart rate, cardiac contractile force myocardial electrical activity, systemic vascular resistance, and systolic blood pressure and decreases overall airway resistance and automaticity. It also through bronchial artery constriction, may reduce pulmonary congestion and increase tidal volume and vital capacity
41
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) | Indications
To restore rhythm in cardiac arrest, severe allergic reactions, severe SOB, bradycardia
42
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) | Contraindications
Narrow angle glaucoma, hemorrhagic, traumatic, cardiac shock

45
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) | Allergic Reaction Dose/Route
0.3-0.5 mg of 1:1,000 IM/5-15 min as needed or 0.5-1 mg of 1:10,000 IV if IM dose ineffective or severe reaction. consider IV drip 2-10mcg/min if severe. Pedi: 0.1 mg/kg (max 0.5) of 1:1,000) IM/10-15 min or 0.01 mg/kg of 1:10,000 IV if IM dose ineffective or severe
