NREMT drug uses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dextose 50% | Increases blood glucose levels |
| Oral Glucose | Increases blood glucose level |
| Syrup of Ipecac | Induce Vomiting of Unabsorbed ingested Poions |
| Epinephrine (1 :10,000) | Alpha effects produce peripheral vasoconstriction Beta1 effects:Increases heart rate and Improves force of ventricular contractions. Beta 2 effects produce bronchodilation |
| Aminophylline | Brochodilation, decreased mucus secretion |
| Ketorolac | Anti-inflammatory, pain reliever |
| Albuterol | Bronchodilation (beta-two adrenergic) |
| Lidocaine | Suppresses ventricular ectopy Blocks conduction of pain impulses |
| Heparin | Anticoagulant |
| Verapamil | Calcium Channel Blocker |
| Morphine | Alleviates pain Decreases peripheral vascular resistance - vasodilator Decreases cardiac workload and oxygen demand on the heart |
| Calcium Chloride | Balances hyperkalemia Increases myocardial contractile force and ventricular automaticity Aids in the re-entry of calcium into muscle when given for calcium channel blocker or magnesium sulfate toxicitydi |
| Nitroglycerin | Coronary and systemic vasodilator - decreases peripheral vascular resistance and preload Decreases cardiac workload and oxygen demand on the heart |
| Succinylcholine | short-acting depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used as a muscle relaxant used during intubation |
| Dobutamine | managing congestive heart failure when an increase in heart rate is not desired |
| Propranolol | competitive antagonist which specifically competes with beta-adrenergic receptor stimulating agents for available beta-receptor sites |
| Amyl Nitrite | rapidly acting vasodilator |
| Coumadin | Anticoagulant |
| Promethazine | Potent antiemetic |
| Insulin | lowers the level of glucose in the blood |
| Mag. Sulfate | Reverses magnesium deficiency Calcium-channel blocker Increases intracellular potassium Central nervous system depressant Relaxes smooth muscl |
| Phenytoin | anticonvulsant |
| Amiodarone | Alters the movement of sodium, potassium and calcium through normal channels. These actions: increase the refractory period of all cardiac tissues slow repolarization decrease automaticity Alpha and beta blocker |
| Pancuronium | Nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant |
| Sodium Bicarbonate | Drives serum potassium back into the cell Enhances urinary excretion of tricyclic antidepressants Neutralizes acidosis |
| Nalbuphine | narcotic pain reliever |
| Dexamethasone | anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant |
| Glucagon | Converts stored glycogen to glucose, increasing blood glucose levels Improves cardiac contractility and increases heart rate |
| Ipratropium | Bronchodilation Dries respiratory tract secretions |
| Thiamine | Used to treat coma of unknown origin |
| Magnesium Sulfate | Torsade’s, Hypomagnesaemia, seizure, eclampsia, laryngeal spasm |
| Nitroprusside | Vasodilator |
| Oxytocin | Relieves Postpartum Hemorrhage |
| Chlordiazepoxide | Sedative, anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawn symptoms |
| Aspirin | Blocks pain impulses in the CNS Dilates peripheral vessels Reduces platelet stickiness Reduces coronary artery vasoconstriction |
| Midazolam | Central nervous system depressant that causes: Amnesia Sedation Muscle relaxation |
| Etomidate | Suppresses central nervous system activity thereby inducing rapid unconsnylciousness |
| Streptokinase | Fibrinolytic |
| Mannitol | Osmotic diuretic, cerebral edema |
| Activated Charcoal | Absorbant for acute ingested poison |
| Isoproterenol | Produces bronchodilation by relaxing bronchial smooth muscle through beta-2 receptor stimulation; increases heart rate and myocardial contractility by stimulating cardiac beta-1 receptors, which increases cardiac output. |
| Reteplase | thrombolytic drug that is used to dissolve blood clots |
| Nitrous Oxide | Depresses the central nervous system |
| Metaproterenol | bronchodilator |
| Procainamide | used to treat irregular heartbeats and to slow an overactive heart |
| Naloxone | Reverses narcotic effects |
| Diazepam | Central nervous system depressant that causes: Amnesia Muscle relaxation Sedation |
| Atropine | Reverses suspected vagal tone in bradycardias, asystole and PEA Blocks acetylcholine in organophosphate poisonings; Reverses effects of nerve agents |
| Vasopressin | Antidiuretic hormone, |
| Nifedipine | calcium channel blockers (CCBs) that are used to treat angina (heart pain), high blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms. |
| Methylprednisone | steroid used to reduce inflammation |
| Hydralazine | Antihypertensive |
| Alteplase (TPAC) | Fibrinolytic |
| Lorazepam | sedative , cardioversion |
| Prochlorperazine | Antiemetic used to relieve sever nausea and acute vomiting |
| Phenytoin | Anticovulsant to help control seizure, or convery dysrhythmia induced ny digitalis toxicity |
| Dopamine | At low doses, increases perfusion to kidneys and abdominal organs At moderate doses, increases force and rate of ventricular contractions At high doses, peripheral vasoconstrictor |
| Adenosine | Slows conduction through AV node thereby terminating reentrant tachycardia, Causes transient AV block , Vasodilation |
| Furosemide | loop diuretic |
| Norepinephrine | Potent peripheral vasoconstrictor Increases myocardial contractility |
| Haloperidol | Antipsychotic |
| Diphenydramine | Blocks histamine receptor sites in allergic reactions Reverses side effects of dystonic reactions caused by phenothiazines |
| Flumazenil | benzodiazepine receptor antagonist |
| Hydroxyzine | used for the short-term treatment of nervousness and tension that may occur with certain mental/mood disorders |
| Phenobarbital | used as a sedative hypnotic and also as an anticonvulsant |
| Meperidine | Narcotic analgesic used to relieve mode |
