Norepinephrine (levophed) | side effects: headache, palpitations , nervousness, epigastric distress, angine, hypertension tissue necrosis with extravasation
Nursing consideratsion: vasoconstrictor to increase blood pressure and cardiac output, monitor unary output, monitor b/p |
Dopamine (intropin] | S/E = increased ocular pressure, extpoc beats, nasuea, tachycardia, chest pain, dyshymias,
N/C= monitor blood pressure, pulse and urinary output |
Epinephrine ( adrenalin) | S/E = Nercousness, restlessness dizziness, local necrosis of ksin
N/C = stimulates plha and beta adrenergic receptions monitor BP |
Isoproterenal (isuprel) | S/E = Headache, Palpitations, tachycardia, changes in BP, Angina, bronchial asthma
N/C= Monitor BP, pulse |
Phenylephrine (Neo-synephrine) | S/E = Palpations, Tachycardia, Hyptertension, dyshythmia, angina, tissue necrosis with extravasation
N/C= Potent alpha 1 agonist, used to treat hypotension |

N/C= Smooth muscle relaxant used to treat severe heart failure |
Sodium nitroprusside (nitropess) | S/E= Hypotension
N/C= Dilates cadiac veins and arteries, decreases preload and afterload increases mycardial perfusion. |
