Double dose for IM, IN, Buccal

25
Q

What are the indications for cricothyrotomy?

A

Need to advanced airway management

AND

Intubation and supraglottic airway unsuccessful

AND

Unable to ventilate

26
Q

What are the indications for CVAD access

A

Actual or potential need for fluid/meds

And

IV unsuccessful

AND cardiac arrest or prearrest

27
Q

What are the contraindications for CVAD

A

Inability to confirm patency

Inability to flush or aspirate

Injury or fracture proximal

Swelling of involved limb

Bleeding at insertion site

28
Q

What is the route of admin for atropine?

A

IV

29
Q

What is the route of administration for dopamine in bradycardia?

A

IV

30
Q

What type of medication is atropine?

A

Antimuscarinic

31
Q

How does atropine work?

A

Works through the inhibition of post synaptic acetylcholine receptors. Blocks the parasympathetic response and allows sympathetic drive to take over.

32
Q

How does dopamine work?

A

Dopamine is a catecholamine that works on the alpha and beta receptors. 5mcg is beta dose increasing heart rate and contractility. Alpha dose causes vasoconstriction.

33
Q

What is the route of administration for amiodarone in cardiac arrest?

A

IV/IO/CVAD

34
Q

What is the route of administration of lidocaine in cardiac arrest?

A

IV/IO/CVAD/ETT

35
Q

What are the contraindications of intubation?

A

Age <50 AND asthma AND not in or near cardiac arrest

36
Q

What are the routes of administration of amiodarone in tachydysrhythmia directive?

A

IV

37
Q

What is the classification of adenosine? And how does it work?

A

Purine nucleoside

Across on purinergic adenosine receptors which are located in AV node.

Drives K+ outside of cells and inhibits Ca+ influx leading to HYPERpolarization.

38
Q

What is the classification and effect of amiodarone?

A

Class III antiarryhtmic

Works by inhibiting influx of Na+, as well as Ca+

Has alpha and beta ANTAGONIST effects

Blocks K+ during phase 3 of cardiac action potential (repolarization)

Prolongs refractory period of cardiac myocytes

39
Q

What is the classification of lidocaine and what is its effect?

A

Class 1B antiarrythmic

Binds to sodium channels and slows down influx of Na+ into cardiac myocytes.
