| ACTIVATED CHARCOAL | CLASS: Absorbent |
| ADENOSINE | CLASS: Antiarrhythmic |
| ALUPENT (METAPROTERENOL) | CLASS: Sympathomimetic (Beta 2 selective) |
| AMINOPHYLLINE | CLASS: Xanthine bronchodilator |
| ASPIRIN | CLASS: Platelet inhibitor/Anti-inflammatory |
| ATROPINE | CLASS: Parasympatholytic (anticholinergic) |
| ATROVENT (IPRATROPIUM) | CLASS: Anticholinergic (Parasympatholytic) |
| BRETHINE (TERBUTALINE) | CLASS: Sympathomimetic (Adrenergic) & Tocolytic* |
| NARCAN: (Naloxone) | ACTION: Narcotic antagonist reverses the central nervous system and respiratory depression effects of narcotics; reverses the cardiovascular effects to a lesser extent. Naloxone competes for narcotic receptor sites in the brain, and displaces narcotic molecules from the opiate receptors.INDICATIONS:Known or suspected narcotic overdoses involving the following:morphine Demerol heroin, paregoric Dilaudid codeine, Percodan Fentanyl methadone Known or suspected overdoses of the following synthetic narcotics:Nubian Talwin Stadol Darvon,Coma of unknown origin,Unwitnessed cardiac arrests CONTRAINDICATIONS: Hypersensitivity reaction PRECAUTIONS: Narcan should be administered cautiously to patients who are known or suspected to be physically dependent on narcotics. Abrupt and complete reversal of narcotic effects by Naloxone can cause withdrawal-type effects.ADVERSE REACTIONS:Aspiration, Hypotension/hypertension, Ventricular arrhythmias,Nausea/Vomiting,Acute narcotic withdrawal syndrome (nausea, vomiting, sweating, tachycardia, hypertension, tremor, agitation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, seizures, and cardiac arrest) DOSAGE: ADULT: 2 mg (higher doses 2-5mg may be required in Darvon OD) PEDIATRIC: 0.1mg/kg ROUTE: IV, IM, SQ, ET HOW SUPPLIED: 2 mg in a 2 ml pre-filled syringe |
| DEXTROSE: (D50/D25) | ACTION: Dextrose in water supplies supplemental glucose in cases of hypoglycemia. D-50% is a hypertonic solution primarily used to elevate the blood sugar. It may be used to initially decrease intracranial pressure.INDICATIONS: Hypoglycemia, Coma of unknown origin,Cardiac arrest,And in rare instances cerebral edema, CONTRAINDICATIONS: Patients with increased ICP or intracranial hemorrhage PRECAUTIONS:Perform a glucometer check and draw a blood tubes prior to administration, if possible. Localized venous irritation and tissue necrosis may result from infiltrated line. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Hyperglycemia, Thrombophlebitis DOSAGE: ADULT: 25 grams of D50 PEDIATRIC:0.25 - 0.5 gm / kg of D25 ROUTE: IV HOW SUPPLIED: D-50 - 25 grams glucose in a 50 ml pre-filled syringe. D-25 - 2.5 grams of glucose in a 10 ml pre-filled syringe. |
