| Oxygen | Should be given to all patients with acute chest pain that may be due to cardiac ischemia, suspected hypoxemia of any cause, and cardiopulmonary arrest. |
| Epinephrine | Indicated in the management if cardiac arrest. The chance of successful defibrillation is enhanced by proper of administration of epinephrine and proper oxygenation. |
| Isoproterenol | Produces and overall increase in heart rate and myocardial contractility. Is contraindicated in the routine treatment of cardiac arrest. |
| Dopamine (Intropin) | Indicated for significant hypotension in the absence of hypovolemia. Should be used at the lowest dose that produces adequate perfusion of vital organs |
| Beta Blockers: Propranolol, Metoprolol, Atenolol, and Esmolol | Reduce heart rate, blood pressure, myocardial contractility, and myocardial oxygen consumption. Treats angina pectoris and hypertension. Also useful in preventing atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia |
| Lidocaine | choose for suppression of ventricular ectopy, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular flutter |
| Verapamil | Treats paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, slows ventricular response to atrial flutter and fibrillation. |
| Digitalis | increases the force of cardiac contraction as well as cardiac output. |
| Morphine Sulfate | for the pain and anxiety associated with acute myocardial infarction |
