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
