- Nitroglycerine
- Smooth muscle relaxant & Vasodilator. Reduces myocardial oxygen consumption& BP.
- Epinephrine HCL
- Vasopressure, cardiac stimulant. Strengthens myocardio contractions. Increases HR blood flow
- Dopamine HCL
- Vasopressure,cardiac stimulant corrects hemodynamic imbalances-bradycardia
- Dobutamine HCL
- cardiac stimulant, increases co, by improving stoke volume c min increase in hr, bp
- Levophed
- Vasopressor, dilates cornorary arteries,
-
Nitroprusside Na+
antihypertensive agent. - peripheral dilation on smooth muscle and arteries Increase hr, & CO lower Diastolic pressure
- xigris
- antithrombotic,blocks leukocyte adhesion and limits thrombine induced inflammation
-
Cardizem
Ca+ channel blocker - slows conduction through the AV & SA nodes. reduced ventricular rates, Decres. HR, BP,
- Isuprel HCl
- cardiac stimulator, Increases co, coronary flow and venous return, relaxes smooth arterial muscle
- Lidocaine HCl
-
decreases ventricular excitability
Antiarrhythmic - Natrecor
- vasodilator, SBP reduction, smooth muscle relaxant,
- Vasopressin
- smooth muscle contraction of all areas of the vascular bed. can increase BP in hypotensive pt
-
Verapamil
Ca+ channel blocker - slows conduction at the SA & AV nodes, reduces O2 demand, ventricular rates,myocardium contractability
-
Atropine SO4
anticholinergic & Antiarrythmic - decreases HR, BP, systemic vascular resistance.
