Airway Kit:
bAdenosine (Adenocard)—Anti­arrhythmic: Used for treatment of par­oxysmal supraventricular tachycardia by slowing conduction time through the atrioventricular (AV) node as well as interrupting the re-entry pathways through the AV node.
bAmiodarone (Cordarone)—Anti­arrhythmic: A Class III agent that in­hibits adrenergic stimulation which pro­­longs the action potential, de­creases AV conduction and sinus node function which is used for life-threatening recurrent ventricular fibrillation or hemodynamically-unstable ventricular tachycardia.
bDexamethasone—Anti-inflammatory: A corticosteroid se­creted by the adrenal cortex which has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, glucocorticord activity, and stimulates gluconeogenesis.
bDextrose (50% Dextrose)—Anti­hypoglycemic: A source of calories and fluid for patients that are not able to take oral fluids in the event of a hypoglycemic reaction.
bDiazepam (Valium)—Anti­con­vulsant: A benzodiazepine that acts on the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma amino butric acid (GABA), limbic system, hypothalamus, and thalamus to produce sedation, antianxiety effect, and skeletal muscle relaxation.
bDigoxin (Lanoxin)—Antiar­rhy­thmic: Used for the treatment of slowing the ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia as well as treatment of congestive heart failure.
bFlumazenil (Romazicon)—Benzo­diazepine antagonist: Reverses effect of benzodiazepines by competitively inhibiting the GABA receptors.
bFurosemide (Lasix)—Diuretic: Used for the management of congestive heart failure by inhibiting reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of Henle and distal renal tubule leading to an increased excretion of water, sodium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium.
Glucagon (GlucoGen)—Antihypo­glycemic: Causes a rise in blood glucose levels by promoting hepatic glyco­genolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Hydrocortisone (Solu-Cortef)—Anti-inflammatory: A corticosteroid secreted by the adrenal cortex which has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, mineralocorticord activity, and stimulates gluconeogenesis.
Midazolam (Versed)—Anticon­vulsant: A benzodiazepine that acts on the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, limbic system, hypothalamus, and thalamus to produce sedation, anti­anxiety effect, and skeletal muscle relaxation.
bNalbuphine (Nubain)—Narcotic: Binds to opiate receptors producing analgesia.
bNaloxone (Narcan)—Narcotic antagonist: Reverses the effect of narcotics by competitively inhibiting narcotic receptor sites.
bProcainamide (Pronestyl-SR)—Antiarrhythmic: Used for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation.
bPromethazine (Phenergan)—Antiemetic/antihistamine: Used for the treatment of allergic reactions, anti­emetic, and sedation.
bSodium Bicarbonate—Alka­linizing agent: Used for the management of metabolic acidosis.
bVasopressin (Pitressin)—Anti­diuretic hormone: Adjunctive treatment used in pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation.
bVerapamil (Isoptin/Calan)—Anti­arrhythmic: Used for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation.
