Question
Answer
What are the Diuretic Drugs?   Lasix, Mannitol, and Diamox  
🗑
Lasix   Diuretic, Fast onset, Loss of Potassium resulting in excretion of hydrogen ions which results in a metabolic ALKALOSIS  
🗑
Mannitol   Osmotic diuretic, slow, gentle, spares electrolytes, tx of head trauma to reduce intracranial pressure  
🗑
Diamox   Diuretic promotes Metabolic ACIDOSIS by the loss of HCO3(BiCarb)  
🗑
Sedative/Hypnotic/Narcotic drugs   Ativan, Diprivan, Narcan, Haldol, Demerol, Dilantin, Compazine, Morphine Sulfate, Versed, Valium  
🗑
Haldol   Tx of Dt's & highly agitated states  
🗑
Dilantin   Prevent seizures, makes pt sleepy  
🗑
Compazine   Tx of nausea  
🗑
Versed   Short acting sedative/hypnotic, used during short-term procedures.  
🗑
Diprivan   Sedative/hypnotic, dose dependent, fast onset, quick recovery, IV drip for continuous sedation.  
🗑
Ativan   Anti-anxiety, pre-op med  
🗑
Valium   Tx of occurring seizure  
🗑
Morphine Sulfate   Narcotic analgesic, reduces drive to breathe by lowering sensitivity to CO2, relaxes smooth muscle surrounding blood vessels which drops preload & may drop BP, reduces work of heart.  
🗑
Demerol   Narcotic analgesic  
🗑
Narcan   Antidote for narcotic & barbiturate overdose.  
🗑
ASA(Asprin)   Non-narcotic analgesic, avoid w/viral symptoms (fever, side aches) may worsen asthma by dropping PGE levels & promoting airway spasms.  
🗑
COX2 Inhibitors   Non-narcotic analgesic, given for pain  
🗑
Atrovent(Ipratopium Bromide)   Anticholinergic, Neb dose is 0.5mg, MDI not for those with soy or peanut allergy.  
🗑
Spiriva(Tiotropium Bromide)   Anticholinergic, DPI, long-lasting anticholinergic 24-36hrs  
🗑
Anticholinergics   Promote bronchodilation in the LARGER airways. Prevent parasympathetic response (bronchoconstriction) by antagonist action of M3 receptor. Avoid mask therapy due to eye problems caused by dilation of pupils.  
🗑
Combo Meds   Advair DPI, DuoNeb, Combivent  
🗑
Advair DPI   Slow onset, mtce med, sympathomimetic w/ steroid  
🗑
DuoNeb   Anticholinergic Atrovent(Ipratropium Bromide) w/ sympathomimetic Albuterol Sulfate, dilates upper & lower airways.  
🗑
Combivent   MDI, anticholinergic ipratropium bromide & sympathomimetic albuterol sulfate, NOT for those with soy/peanut allergies.  
🗑
Glucocorticoids   Stops all inflammation, takes hours for onset. Enhances and promotes Beta response. Problems: promotes metabolic ALKALOSIS, mood swings, fat deposits, hair growth, atrophy of adrenal glands.  
🗑
Leukotrienes (LT) Inhibitors   Reduce/prevent inflammation response associated with asthma.  
🗑
Anticholinesterase Meds   Act by promoting acetylcholine by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase which is the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine.  
🗑
Sympathomimetic Side-Effects   B1(cardiac): ^HR & contraction strength, B2(lungs): Tremors/Nausea  
🗑
Sympathomimetics   Adrenergic bronchodilators that stim B2 receptor & promote dilation in smaller airways, inhibit prod of inflammatory mediators.  
🗑
Racemic Epinephrine   Fast catecholamine, A1, B1 & 2 agonist. Dose 0.5ml, for tx of upper airway edema.  
🗑
Albuterol Sulfate (Ventolin, Proventil)   5mg/ml - onset up to 15 min.  
🗑
Xopenex   Racemic albuterol, pure R isomer, 2 strengths, lower B1 activity which means lower incidence of tachycardia & less B2 effects which means a lower occurrence of tremors.  
🗑
Brovana (arformoterol)   Long lasting 12hr sympathomimetic  
🗑
Foradil(formoterol)   DPI, long-lasting sympathomimetic, 12hrs.  
🗑
Mucomyst(n-acetylcysteine)   Mucolytic, disrupts mucus viscosity & elasticity, airway irritant, re-eval every 3-5 days, toss after 96hrs of opening.  
🗑
Pulmozyme(Dornase Alpha)   Proteolytic, tx of infectious mucus(pneumonia), noted by purulent secretions, refrigerate after opening, toss if cloudy or discolored, HCW should avoid breathing this med, often used with CF pts.  
🗑
Methylxanthines   Inhibits bronchoconstriction, reduces PVR/dilates pulmonary blood vessels, enhances diaphragm contraction & endurance. Side-effects: improvement of resp drive, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, twitching, tremors, seizure.  
🗑
Lidocaine   Used during bronchoscopy to prevent spasm, tx PVC(cardia arrythmia), admin as an IV drip.  
🗑
Dobutrex   +INO, improves stroke volume by B1 stimulation  
🗑
Digitalis   +INO, improves stroke volume by promoting free Ca+ for contraction.  
🗑
Nitrates   Vasodilators reduce pre & after loads while improving coronary perfusion by dilation of coronary arteries.  
🗑
Dopamine   High dose: vasopressor for tx low BP(shock) Moderate dose: B1 effects, Low dose: dilates renal vessels which promotes urine output = diuretic.  
🗑
Oxygen   Non-flammable, non-explosive, promotes rapid combustion, will reduce PVR when it is secondary to low PAO2.  
🗑
SSKI (Potassium Iodide)   Reduces mucus elasticity.  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blockers   Tx of atrial arrythmias.  
🗑
Singulair(Montelukast)   LT receptor agonist.  
🗑
Tensilon   Dx & Tx of Myasthenia Gravis.  
🗑
Aminophylline   A methylxanthine  
🗑
Lidocaine overdose   Causes methemoglobin which darkens the arterial blood which changes skin color to gray/dusky appearance due to the low O2 content, may also cause seizure.  
🗑
