Reduce BP, afterload

Metaprolol intended effects

Reduce BP, vasodilator

Verapamil intended effects

HTN, CP, radial access

Dopamine intended effects

Increase BP

Epinephine intended effects

Significantly increase HR and BP

Nitroglycerine intended effects

Decrease BP, preload, afterload

Vasopressin intended effects

Increase BP

Sodium bicarbonate intended effects

Increase pH level

Med that causes brief period of sinus arrest before converting P-SVT

Adenosine

Preferred anti-arrhythmic for ACLS; contraindicated in cardiogenic shock and high-grade AV block

Amiodarone

Do not use if patient has glaucoma. Paradoxical effect if given slowly. Parasympathetic inhibitor.

Atropine

Can be used as alternate to amiodarone but not preferred anti-arrhythmic

Lidocaine

Watch for respiratory depression w/these 4 meds

Midazolam, Diazapam, Fentanyl, Morphine Sulfate

Preferred tx for heart failure, bilateral renal disease

Enalapril

Use with caution w/HF; watch both HR and BP for changes

Metaprolol

Reduces contractility and afterload

Verapamil

Low dose vasodilator; higher doses vasoconstrictor, increased force of contraction and may result in tachycardia

Dopamine

Extreme hypertension and tachycardia possible

Epinephine

Severe headache and tolerance threshold possible

Nitroglycerine

Used as alternate to epinephrine in ACLS
