CPR and defibrilation

18
Q

V fib

A

asynchronous firing of multiple vent foci, not cordinated contraction pumping stops, emergency

19
Q

V fib drugs

A

epinephrine
amiodarone

20
Q

1 B sodium channel blocker

A

Lidocaine (short term vent dysrhythmias only!)
1st pass
frequently contains epi

21
Q

1 A sodium channel blocker

A

procainamide
last drug of choice from toxicity
Weekly CBC bc of blood dycrasias
ADR’s lupus like syndrome, nutriopenia, thrombocytopenia

Quinidine (malaria) rarely used

22
Q

Adenosine (misclanious class)

A

IV-immediate onset
pt supine
HL of 10 secs
systole, prolonged PR, monitor RR and BP

23
Q

Potassium Channel Blocker: amiodarone

A

life threatening vent dysrhythmias, PO or IV,
ADR Pulmonary, cardio, thyroid, liver toxicity
opthalmic effects
toxic in preg and b feeding
blue skin, no grapefruit
don’t use in heart blocks

24
Q

Calcium Channel Blockers

A

verapamil diltiazem
supra vent tachycardia, a fib, a flutter
slows rate
ADRs Brady, av block hypoTN, HF, edema, HA, dizzy, flushing, dig toxicity, don’t combine with BBLKR

25
Q

BBLKR

A

a+v dysrhythmias
post MI dysrhythmias, cardioprotection
Esmolol - 9 min half life for SVT a flutter a fib,
acebutolol, po for PVC
