Pharmacology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| The most potent benzodiazepine available, and is indicated for sedation. | Lorazepam |
| AKA Toradol, is an injectable NSAID that exhibits analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-pyretic properties w/o sedative effects. | Ketorlac |
| is a beta blocker with limited alpha blocker characteristics that induces vasodilation, reduced peripheral vascular resistance, and lowers BP. | Labetalol |
| is contraindicated for conditions including asthma, CHF, 2nd/3rd degree heart blocks, severe bradycardia and cardiogenic shock. | Labetalol |
| is an antidysrhythmic that suppresses automaticity and raises stimulation threshold of the ventricles, also causes sedation, anticonvulsant, and analgesic effects. | Lidocaine |
| is an electrolyte that acts as a calcium channel blocker that acts aas a CNS depressant and anticonvulsant, as well as depressing function of smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles. | Magnesium Sulfate |
| the dosage for this drug is 1-1.5mg/kg, repeated at .5-.75mg up to 3mg/kg. Follow conversion with an infusion of 1-4mg/min. | Lidocaine |
| the dosage for this drug is 1-2 grams diluted in 50-100ml of D5W over 5-60min. | Magnesium Sulfate |
| is the prototype NSAID w significant analgesic and anti-pyretic properties, as well as inhibiting platelet aggregation and increasing bleeding time. | Ibuprofen |
| is a short acting synthetic steroid that inhibits histamine formation, storage and release from mast cells, and reducing allergic response. | Hydrocortisone |
| is a naturally occuring protein that promotes the uptake of glucose by the cells. | Insulin |
| is a bronchodilator used in the treatment of respiratory emergencies causing bronchial dilation and drying respiratory tract secretions by blocking acetylcholine receptors. | Ipratropium |
| is a gastric irritant and acts on the emetic centers of the medulla to induce vomiting w/in 5 min. | Ipecac Syrup |
| AKA Humulin, Novalog, Novalin and dosed at 5-10 units IV/IM/SQ. | Insulin |
| is indicated for pulseless V-Tach, V-Fib, and V-Tach w a pulse. | Lidocaine |
| is indicated for Torsades de Pointes, eclamptic seizures and for children in status asthmaticus nonresponsive to beta agents. | Magnesium Sulfate |
| AKA Atrovent, is indicated for bronchospasm associated w asthma, COPD, and inhaled irritants. | Ipratropium |
| is indicated for hyperglycemia and diabetic coma. | Insulin |
| decreases overall airway resistance and automaticity, and may reduce pulmonary congestion and increase tidal volume and vital capacity. | Epinephrine |
| is a potent diuretic and antihypertensive that inhibits sodium reabsorption by the kidneys. | Furosemide |
| is indicated for seizures, premedication, or acute anxiety at a dose of 5-10mg IV/IM | Diazepam |
| is contraindicated for hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, fluid and electrolyte depletion states, hepatic coma, and pregnancy. | Furosemide |
| blocks parasympathetic nervous system, specifically the vagal effects on heart rate. | Atropine |
| is indicated for narrow, comples supraventricular tachycardia refractory to vagal maneuvers. | Adenosine |
| is indicated for V-Fib dosed at 300mg IVP and repeated at 150mg IVP if needed. | Amiodarone |
| is indicated for seizures, premedication, or acute anxiety, at a dose of 5-10mg IV/IM | Diazepam |
| increases force and velocity of myocardial contraction and cardiac output, and decreases conduction through the AV node which decreases HR. | Digoxin |
| is indicated at 1mg IM/SQ for hypoglycemia w/o IV access. | Glucagon |
| AKA Sublimaze, is used to induce sedation for intubation and control moderate to severe pain, dosed at 25-100mcg slow IV. | Fentynal |
| is indicated for acute psychotic episodes, because it blocks dopamine receptors in the brain, but also impairs temp regulation. | Haldol |
| AKA Demerol, and is indicated for severe pain. | Meperidine |
| is an osmotic diuretic that draws water into the intravascular space through its hypertonic effects, then causes diuresis. | Mannitol |
| is a sympathomimetic bronchodilator, indicated for bronchospasm as in asthma and COPD. | Metaproterenol |
| AKA Versed, indicate to induce sedation before cardioversion or intubation. | Midazolam |
| is a short acting benzodiazepine w CNS depressant, muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant and anterograde amnestic effects. | Midazolam |
| has a dosage of 1-5mg slow IV, and is contraindicated in glaucoma, shock, coma, and acute alcohol intoxication. | Midazolam |
| AKA Lopressor, and has a dosage of 5mg slow IV up to 3x. | Metoprolol |
| AKA Solu-Medrol, and is dosed at 125-250 IV/IM for asthma, COPD, and anaphylaxis. | Methylprednisolone |
| is a pure narcotic antagonist that blocks effects of both natural and synthetic narcotics and may reverse respiratory depresion. | Naloxone |
| is a potent analgesic and sedative that causes some vasodilation, reducing venous return, and reducing myocardial oxygen demand. | Morphine Sulfate |
| is indicated for narcotic OD, coma of unknown irigin, and is dosed at .4-2mg IV/IM | Naloxone |
| is a calcium channel blocker AKA Procardia | Nifedipine |
| is a narcotic analgesic, dosed at 2-4mg IV/IO q 5-15 min for MI pt. | Morphine Sulfate |
| is a synthetic narcotic analgesic equivalent to morphine, w/o respiratory depression at higher doses. | Nalbuphine |
| is contraindicated in undiagnosed head or abdominal injury, hypotension or volume depletion, COPD, respiratory depression, and pulmonary edema due to chemical inhalation. | Morphine Sulfate |
| AKA Nubain, and is dosed at 5mg IV/IO/IM q 2-3min up to 20mg. | Nalbuphine |
| is contraindicated in cardiogenic shock, sinus brady <45 bpm, 2nd/3rd degree heart block, cor pulmonale, asthma, and COPD. | Metaprolol |
| is indicated for moderate to severe pain, at doses of 25-100mg IV. | Meperidine |
| is a beta blocker w limited alpha blocker characteristics that induces vasodilation, reduced peripheral vascular resistance, and lowers BP. | Labetalol |
