sodium bicarbonate

treats severe metabolic/respiratory acidosis
liberates bicarbonation
strong alkalanizing agent

amiodarone

used for pulseless ventricular tachycardia
antidysrhythmic drug
suppresses dysrhythmias

lidocaine(xylocaine)

treats ventricular dysrhythmias
blocks sodium channels
most frequently used antidysrhythmic drug

atropine

used for slow heart rates
inhibits acetylcholine/cholinergenic stimuli at muscarinic receptors
antimuscarinic agent

dopamine(intropine)

second-line therapy
stimulates dopamine receptors
equivalent to endogenous dopamine

vasopressin(pitressin)

alternative to epinephrine
increases blood flow to vital organs
equivalent to endogenous ADH

epinephrine(adrenaline)

produced by adrenal gland
mimics nervous system
most valuable
first-line treatment

cardiorespiratory arrest

respiratory arrest
pt unable to breathe
cardiac arrest
