Cardiac Drips
Across
- 3. pure alpha agonist that increases SVR with no effect on HR or contractility
- 4. non-selective beta antagonist indicated for ventricular arrhythmias; decreases HR, AV node conduction, and myocardial contractility
- 8. alpha and beta agonist with more pronounced alpha activity; indicated for shock
- 10. fast acting calcium channel blocker that decreases SVR and increase myocardial blood flow
Down
- 1. Indicated for heart failure; increases CO while decreasing SVR
- 2. non-selective beta agonist; structurally similar to Epi
- 5. vasopressor with no inotropic effects; raises BP by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys
- 6. causes vascular relaxation by releasing nitric oxide into the blood stream; works on both venous and arterial sides
- 7. dose dependent vasopressor; alpha and beta agonist; often utilized in low dose for function
- 9. electrolyte that increases cardiac contractility and raises SVR
