62
Q

DOPAMINE MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

Dopamine is a sympathetic agonist that
acts on alpha1, beta1 and D1 + D2
(dopamine) receptors, which effect depends on thedose. Alpha1
: Vasoconstriction |Beta1
: Increased HR/contractility | D1+D2
:
increased blood flow, kidneys/intestines

Alpha1: 10-20 mcg/kg/min
Pedi: 2-20 mcg/kg/min
ALL IV DRIPS

67
Q

DOPAMINE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:

A

Make sure your IV is patent and secured.
Fix hypovolemia before using dopamine.

68
Q

AMIODARONE CLASS:

A

: ANTI-DYSRHYTHMIC

69
Q

AMIODARONE MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

Prolongs the action potential and
refractory period, slows electrical
conduction rate. Sodium, calcium,
potassium channel blocker

70
Q

AMIODARONE INDICATIONS:

A

V-tach, V-fib, wide complex
rapid tachycardia

71
Q

AMIODARONE CONTRAINDICATIONS:

A

Hypersensitivity/allergic, bradycardia

72
Q

AMIODARONE ADVERSE REACTIONS:

A

Dizziness, drowsiness

73
Q

AMIODARONE DOSE:

A

Arrest: 150-300 mg IV/IO
Stable: 150mg over 10 mins via IV/IO drip

74
Q

AMIODARONE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:

A

Vitals and ECG before and after
administering with cardiac monitoring,
this medication has a half life of 45 days.

75
Q

LIDOCAINE CLASS

A

: ANTI-DYSRHYTHMIC

76
Q

LIDOCAINE MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

Sodium channel blocker
that decreases ventricular
irritability and reduces the
speed of impulses.

77
Q

LIDOCAINE INDICATIONS:

A

V-Tach / V-Fib

78
Q

LIDOCAINE CONTRAINDICATIONS:

A

Hypersensitivity/allergic,
bradycardia

79
Q

80
Q

LIDOCAINE DOSE:

A

1 mg/kg IV/IO

81
Q

12-lead ECG after administering,
use a different IV site if giving
after amiodarone

82
Q

ATROPINE CLASS:

A

ANTI-CHOLINERGIC AGENT

83
Q

ATROPINE MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

Potent parasympatholytic, that inhibits
actions of acetylcholine. Thus indirectly,
increased HR and AV conduction, decreases
GI secretions and dilates pupils.

84
Q

mins as needed.
Organophosphate OD: 2mg, then 4mg,
then 8 mg, can be given every 5 minutes
until desired effect achieved.

88
Q

ATROPINE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:

A

Your RSI protocol may include atropine
to be given prior to intubation to decrease
chance of reflex bradycardia.

89
Q

ADENOSINE CLASS:

A

: ANTIDYSRHYTHMIC

90
Q

ADENOSINE MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

Derived from the breakdown of ATP,
adenosine slows AV conduction,
decreases HR, acts as a “chemical
cardioversion”

91
Q

A

SVT | Rapid tachycardias

92
Q

ADENOSINE CONTRAINDICATIONS:

A

Bradycardia, hypersensitivity/allergic

A

Palpitations, near-syncope,
dizzness, lightheadedness, chest
pain, flushing, anxiety.

94
Q

A

Adult: 6 mg, rapid IV/IO push. Can be
followed up by 12 mg.
Pediatrics: 0.1 mg/kg

95
Q

ADENOSINE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:

A

While giving drug press print button
on monitor to have print out of the effect
on ECG. Do your best to get IV placement
in AC or higher with larger bore.

96
Q

DILTIAZEM CLASS:

A

: CALCIUM CHANNEL
BLOCKER

97
Q

DILTIAZEM MECHANISM OF ACTION:

A

A calcium channel blocker, slows AV
conduction, results in decreased HR/BP.
Decreased oxygen demand on heart.

98
Q

DILTIAZEM INDICATIONS:

A

Rapid atrial fibrillation, rapid atrial flutter,
can be used as second line treatment after
adenosine for SVT.

99
Q

DILTIAZEM CONTRAINDICATIONS:

A

Bradycardia, hypersensitivity/allergic,
hypotension

100
Q

DILTIAZEM ADVERSE REACTIONS:

A

Bradycardia, hypotension,
dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope

101
Q

DILTIAZEM DOSE:

A

0.25 mg/kg IV/IO (common dosing
would be 15 mg IV/IO in adult for
example)

102
Q

DILTIAZEM SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:

A

Watch closely for hypotension or
bradycardia after administering, use
cardiac monitoring and consider a
