Question 0

Atropine

Answer 0

Bradycardia and low blood pressure

Question 1

Epinephrine

Answer 1

Vasoconstrictor
increases myocardial and cerebral blood flow

V-fib, V-tach, PEA, asystole

Question 2

Amiodarone

Answer 2

Antiarrhythmic

Tachycardia, IV reduces after load and increases Cardiac index slightly.

Question 3

Vasopressin

Answer 3

Peripheral vasoconstrictor

V-fib, V-tach, asystole, PEA

Question 4

Lidocaine

Answer 4

Antiarrhythmic
V-fib, v-tach, use after Amiodarone
Suppresses spontaneous depolarization during diastole

Question 5

Magnesium sulfate

Answer 5

V-fib, v-tach, torsades

Regulates movement of calcium in and out of cells,

Question 6

Cardiziem

Answer 6

Ventricular rate control in a-fib

Inhibits calcium ions into myocardial and vascular smooth muscle, decreases myocardial contractility

Question 7

Dopamine

Answer 7

Inotropic

Hypotension, increases cardiac output, blood pressure, renal blood flow

Question 8

Dobutamine

Answer 8

Increases myocardial contractility without increasing myocardial oxygen demand

CHF

Question 9

Calcium chloride

Answer 9

For asystole and PEA caused by toxicity from calcium chan blockers, CABG, hyper kalmia, hypermag, hypocalcemia

Question 10

Phenylephrine

Answer 10

Vasoconstrictor

Question 11

Propranolol

Answer 11

Decreases HR, CO, BP, myocardial contractility

Question 12

Digoxin

Answer 12

Increases myocardial contractility, slows HR, must monitor potassium and dig levels

Question 13

LASIK

Answer 13

Edema from CHF, renal failure

Question 14

NTG

Answer 14

Relaxes vascular smooth muscle,promotes vasodilation

Question 15

Nipride

Answer 15

Relaxes vascular smooth muscle, promotes vasodilation, reduces BP, reduces preload and afterload, decreases SVR

Question 16

Levophed

Answer 16

Severe hypotension, vasoconstrictor
