9. DopamineUses : Can be given in bradycardia after Atropine, Can be given for Systolic BP < 100 mm Hg with signs of shockDosage : 2 to 20 mcg/kg per minute infusion titrated to responseSide Effects : Headache, palpitations, PVC, VT, SVT, nausea/vomiting

10.

11. EpinephrineUses : Cardiac arrest, Anaphylaxis, Symptomatic bradycardia after atropine, Shock when pacing and atropine are not effectiveDosage : Cardiac arrest: 1.0 mg (1:10000) IV or 2-2.5 mg (1:1000) per ETT every 3 to 5 minutes; follow with 0.1-0.5 mcg/kg/min infusion titrated to response Symptomatic bradycardia or shock: 2-10 mcg/minute infusion titrated to responseSide Effects : Tremors, dizziness, SVT, VT, palpitations, chest pain, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, vasoconstriction
