1 Adult Drug Reference Dopamine Drip Chart Pediatric Drug Reference Pediatric Drug Dosage Charts DRUG REFERENCES
2 ADULT DRUG REFERENCE Drug Indication Adult Dosage Precautions / Comments ADENOSINE Paroxysmal SVT 1 st Dose 6 mg rapid IV 2 nd Dose 12 mg rapid IV push Follow each dose with rapid bolus of 20 ml NS May cause transient heart block or asystole. Side effects include chest pressure/pain, palpitations, hypotension, dyspnea, or feeling of impending doom. Use caution when patient is taking carmbamazepine, dipyramidole, or methylxanthines. Do not administer if acute asthma exacerbation. ALBUTEROL Bronchospasm Crush Injury Hyperkalemia 5 mg in 6 ml NS nebulized 5 mg in 6 ml NS nebulized continuously Repeat as needed for bronchospasm. Use with caution in patients taking MAO inhibitors (antidepressants Nardil and Parnate) AMIODARONE Ventricular Fibrillation or Pulseless VT Stable Ventricular Tachycardia 300 mg IV or IO bolus, repeat 150 mg bolus if rhythm persists 150 mg IV infusion or slow IV push over 10 minutes (15 mg/minute) In patient with pulses, may cause hypotension. Do not administer if patient hypotensive. When creating infusion, careful mixing needed to avoid foaming of medication (do not use filter needle).
3 ADULT DRUG REFERENCE Drug Indication Adult Dosage Precautions / Comments ASPIRIN Contraindicated in aspirin or Chest Pain 4 81 mg tabs chewed salicylate allergy.
