Q

what is the mechanism of action of adrenaline?

A

Acts on both alpha and beta receptors and increases both heart rate and contractility (beta1 effects); it can cause peripheral vasodilation (a beta2 effect) or vasoconstriction (an alpha effect).

Q

what is the mechanism of action of amiodarone?

A

-blocks potassium currents that cause repolarization during the third phase of the cardiac action potential.
- increases the duration of the action potential and refractory period for myocytes, reducing cardiac muscle cell excitability preventing and treating abnormal heart rhythms
also interferes with beta receptors, sodium and calcium channels

Q

what is the mechanism of action of atropine?

A

Atropine binds to and inhibit muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, producing a wide range of anticholinergic effects.

Q

what is the mechanism of action of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate?

A

systemic alkaliser, which increases plasma bicarbonate, buffers excess hydrogen ion concentration, and raises blood pH, thereby reversing the clinical manifestations of acidosis.
It is also a urinary alkaliser, raising the urinary pH.

Q

what is the mechanism of action of Calcium gluconate or Calcium chloride (hyperkalaemia)?

A

Calcium increases the threshold potential, thus restoring the normal gradient between threshold potential and resting membrane potential, which is abnormally elevated in hyperkalemia. Onset of action is within 5 minutes, and duration of action is about 30-60 minutes
