|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classification | Anticholinergic, parasympatholytic, (+) Chronetrope, parasympathetic blocker
🗑
|

| Pharm/Actions | 1) Parasympathetic (vagal) blocking action 2) Accelerates sinus node discharged rate 3) Improves AV conduction blocking vagus nerve 4) By increasing sinus rate, may reduce compensatory PVCs 5) May restore cardiac rhythm in asystole or bradycardic PEA
🗑

| Indications | 1) Bradycardia accompanied Hemodyamically significant hypotension and/or Ventricular ectopic beats or Other sign or symptoms of hemodynamic decomposition 2) May be indicated for ventricular asystole refractory to epi 3) Antidote for organophosphate
🗑
|
||||
| Contraindications | 1) Should not be used for bradcardia, unless signs of poor perfusion or ventricular ectopy are present 2) Should not be administered slowly or in smaller than recommended dose as paradoxical slowing of rate can occur. 3) Tachycardia 4) Hypersensitivity
🗑
|
||||
| Precautions | 1) DO NOT PUSH SLOWLY or in smaller than recommended doses. Small doses (< 0.5mg) produce paradoxical cardiac slowing. 2) Maximum dose should only be exceeded in Organophosphate poising
