91
Q

Sodium bicarb action

A

Raises the pH of blood plasma by buffering excess hydrogen ions. Provides vascular bicarbonate to assist the buffer system in reducing the effects of metabolic acidosis and in the treatments of some overdoses.

92
Q

Magnesium sulfate class

A

Electrolyte

93
Q

Dopamine action

A

Precursor to norepinephrine an endogenous catecholamine. Stimulates alpha, beta and dopaminergic receptors in a dose –dependent fashion

2 – 5 mcg/kg/min Dilates renal, mesenteric and cerebral arteries by dopaminergic receptor stimulation (has minimal effect on blood pressure and heart rate).

5 – 10mcg/kg/min Predominately beta and alpha-adrenergic receptor stimulating actions increasing cardiac output (inotropic) with minor increase in systemic vascular resistance and preload

10 – 20mcg/kg/min Increasingly alpha adrenergic receptor stimulating actions resulting in increased peripheral, renal and mesenteric arterial and venous vasoconstriction which thereby increases systemic vascular resistance and preload.

Doses higher than 20mcg/kg/min produce pure alpha receptor effects mimicking norepinephrine effects. For this reason if hypotension is refractory to dopamine either
epinephrine infusions or Dobutamine infusions are added.

Onset of action: 1 – 2 minutes
Half life: 2 minutes

94
Q

Narcan dose

A

0.4-2mg IV/IO/IM (may repeat 2-3min prn)
2-2.5mg ETT
Pedi:
0.1mg/kg IV/IO/IM

95
Q

Fentanyl action

A

A potent short acting narcotic agonist used for its analgesic properties. Fentanyl does not cause the vasodilation associated with morphine and so may be acceptable for use in hypovolemic patients.

96
Q

Glucagon action

A

Natural polypeptide hormone secreted by the pancreas. Released to breakdown stored glycogen to glucose and inhibits the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Acts on
receptor sites similar to those of epinephrine producing catecholamine like effects.

97
Q

Dextrose contraindication

A

None in documented hypoglycemia

98
Q

Lidocaine indication

A

Ventricular tachycardia or wide-complex tachycardia with pulses

Recurrent or refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless v-tach.

Following successful defibrillation

Pre-intubation in head injuries (may minimize the rise in ICP associated with intubation).

99
Q

Dextrose side effect

A

Pain at the injection site
Necrosis
Hyperglycemia

100
Q

Lidocaine action

A
  • Depresses the automaticity of the Purkinje Fibers therefore raises the depolarization threshold in the ventricular fibers and decreases tendency to fibrillate.
  • Little antiarrhythmic effect on atrial muscle at sub-toxic levels

-Cardiovascular effects:
o Decreased conduction rate and force of contraction, mainly at toxic levels
o Prolongs phase 4 depolarization and shortens action potential

-CNS stimulation:
o Tremors, restlessness, clonic convulsions followed by respiratory depression and
respiratory failure at higher doses.

-Onset of action: less than 3 minutes

101
Q

Morphine side effect

A 
Respiratory distress
Bradycardia
Palpitation
Hypotension
Cardiac arrest
102
Q

Dopamine indication

A

Cardiogenic shock (pulmonary edema with NON-HYPOVOLEMIC hypotension)

Anaphylaxis refractory to epinephrine and fluid boluses

Bradycardia refractory to atropine and pacing

Shock states with Hemodynamically significant hypotension in the ABSENCE of

Hypovolemia (sepsis, neurogenic shock).

Crush injury

103
Q

Adenosine indication

A

PSVT (Refractory to vagal maneuvers)

Stable wide complex tachycardia thought to be reentry SVT

104
Q

Sodium bicarb dose

A

Adult
1mEq/kg IV/IO, may repeat at half dose every 10 minutes

Pediatrics
Same as adult

105
Q

Succinylcholine contraindication

A 
Family history of malignant hyperthermia
Glaucoma
Penetrating eye trauma
Liver disease
Significant burns older than 24 hours
106
Q

Magnesium sulfate contraindication

A

Hypocalcaemia
Heart block
Myocardial damage
Anuria

107
Q

Adenosine dose

A

Adult
6mg rapid IVP w/ 10ml followed by 12mg
Pedi
0.1mg/kg rapid IVP w/ 10ml followed by 0.2mg/kg

108
Q

Furosemide action

A

Lasix is a rapid acting potent diuretic and antihypertensive that inhibits sodium reabsorption by the kidney. Its vasodilating effects reduce venous return and cardiac workload.

109
Q

Dopamine side effect

A

Tachycardia, ectopic beats, nausea, vomiting, angina, palpitations, headache and dyspnea

High doses can cause hypertension requiring reduction in infusion rate.

110
Q

Diazepam action

A

Benzodiazepine sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant that reduces tremors, induces amnesia and reduces the recurrence of seizures. It relaxes muscle spasms in orthopedic injuries and produces amnesia for painful procedures.

111
Q

Ondasetron action

A

Selective serotonin (5HT3) receptor antagonist. Its effects are thought to be on both peripheral and central nerves. Ondansetron reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which deactivates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, and also blocks serotonin receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. It has little effect on vomiting caused by motion sickness.

112
Q

Midazolam contraindication

A 
Shock
Comatose patients
Narrow angle-closure glaucoma
Hypotension
Use cautiously in CHF patients
113
Q

A

Adult
1 g/kg mixed with 6 – 8 ounces water PO or NG tube

Pediatric
Same as adult dosing

114
Q

Diphenhydramine action

A

Diphenhydramine blocks histamine release, thereby reducing bronchoconstriction, vasodilation and edema. It suppresses central cholinergic activity and prolongs the action of dopamine by inhibiting its reuptake and storage.

115
Q
