Question | Dose | Actions |
Atropine | 0.5mg-1mg max dose 3mg | Potent anticholinergic (parasympathetic blocker) that reduces vagal tone and thus increases automatically the SA node and increases A-V conduction |
Albuterol | 2.5mg in 3cc | Primarily a beta-2 sympathomimetic and as such produces bronchodialtion, because of its greater specificity for beta 2 adrenergic it produces fewer cardiovascular side affects and more prolonged bronchodilation than isoproterenol. |
Adenosine | 6mg, 12mg, 12mg, | decreasing conduction through the AV node. 1/2 life is less than: 10 |
Amiodorone | 150mg in conscious pt. 300mg in unstable | Blocks sodium and exerts non-competitive antisympathetic action. Produces a negative chronotropic effect. Blocks potassium channels, which contributes to showing which contributes to slowing of conduction prolongedness of refractoriness. |
Cardizem | 0.25mg/kg for first dose, 0.35mg/kg in second dose | Calcium channel blocker that slows AV nodal conduction time and prolong AV refractoriness. |
Calcium Chloride | 4mg/kg IV slow | Increases the force of myocardial contraction; calcium may either increase or decrease systemic vascular resistance |
Dopamine |
