pharmacology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Is a nonselective beta blocker affecting bronchial and cadiac sites, reducing HR, cardiac output and BP. | Propranolol |
| Is a calcium channel blocker that is indicated for PSVT refractory to Adenosine, as well as A-Flutte and A-Fib | Verapamil |
| Provides assistance to the vascular buffering system by reducing the effects of metabolic, acidosis. | Sodium Bicarb |
| Is a fibrinolytic that acts by activating the process that converts plasminogen to plasmin and results in degredation of fibrin and fibrinogen. | Streptokinase |
| Is a rapid acting hypotensive agent producing peripheral vasodilation and a mild increase in HR, decreased cardiac output and peripheral resistance. | Sodium Nitroprusside |
| Is used only for inhalation to induce bronchodilation and to reduce laryngeal edema and mucus secretion. | Raceemic epi |
| Is indicated for tricyclic antidepressant and barbituate OD, refractory acidosis, and hyperkalemia at doses of 1mEq/kg | Sodium Bicarb |
| Is a non selective beta blocker that slows HR and decreases AV conduction and irritability | Sotalol |
| Is an ultra short acting depolarizing neuromuscular blocker. | Succinylcholine |
| AKA Vitamin B1 is required to convert glucose into energy. | Thiamine |
| Is indicated for coma of unknown origin, chronic alcoholism w associated coma, delirium tremens administered at 50-100mg IV/IM. | Thiamine |
| Is a synthetic sympathomimetic that causes bronchodilation w less cardiac effect than epi. | Terbutaline |
| Is indicated for ventricular and supraventricular dysrhythmias and is administered at 1-1.5mg/kg IV/IO | Sotalol |
| Is a self-administered analgesic gas composed of two different gases, that lasts only 2-5mins | Nitrous Oxide. |
| Is a selective seratonin receptor antagonist preventing nausea and vomiting. | Ondansetron |
| Is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker that causes paralysis w/o bronchospasm or hypotension | Pancuronium |
| Is a rapid smooth muscle relaxant that reduces PVR, BP, venous return, and cardiac workload. | Nitro |
| AKA Levophed, and is given at 0.1-0.5mcg/kg/min IV/IO and titrated to response. | Norepinephrine |
| Is a long acting barbituate anticonvulsant w sedative and hypnotic effects that limits the spread of seizure activity. | Phenobarbitol |
| Prolongs ventricular repolarization, slows conduction, and decreases myocardial excitability. | Procainamide |
| Is an anticholinergic agent that enhances effects of analgesics and is a potent antiemetic. | Promethazine |
| Is a nonselecrive beta blocker affecting bronchial and cardiac sites, reducing HR, cardiac output and BP | Propranolol |
| Is indicated for chest pain associated w angina, acute myocardial infarction, acute pulmonary edema, and may produce a headache | Nitro |
| Is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential for life and one of the most important emergency drugs | Oxygen |
| Is contraindicated in cases of severe anemia, head trauma, hypotension, increased ICP, pts taking sildenafil, glaucoma and shock. | Nitro |
| AKA as Zofran, and is given at 4-8mg over 1-5mins | Ondansatron |
| Is light sensative and will lose potency when exposed to the air, given at 0.4mg per dose. | Nitro |
| Reduces the spread of electrical discharges in the motor cortex and inhibits seizures and can counteract the effects of digitalis. | Phenytoin |
| AKA Dilantin, and is indicated for seizures, status epilepticus, cardiac dysrhythmias secondary to digitalis toxicity | Phenytoin |
| AKA as Pronestyl, is indicated for V-Fib and pulseless V-Tach refractory to lidocaine. | Procainamide |
| Is indicated for hypoxia or anticipated hypoxia, or in any medical or trauma pt to improve respiratory efficiency. | Oxygen |
| Is a naturally occuring hormone that causes the uterus to contract, causing induction of labor, encouraging delivery of the placenta, and controlling post partum hemorrhage. | Oxytocin |
| Is dosed at 20mg/min IV drip, to a max of 17mg/kg to effect. | Procainamide |
