  1. 2. A postive cardiac stimulant Beta 1 receptor that increases cardiac contractibility with little effect on heart rate.
  2. 5. A short-acting beta 2 agonist whose effects include bronchdilation; is useful in the treatment of Asthma
  3. 7. A long acting vasoconstrictor which raises blood pressure by constricting peripheral vessels.
  4. 9. Citrate Prophylaxis against acid aspiration, mainly used prior to Caesarean Section.
  5. 10. A corticosteroid highly useful in the treatment of angioedema, possibly required in an anaphylactic reaction.
  6. 14. A long acting local anaesthetic agent which is extremely useful in Epidural and nerve blockades.
  7. 15. Low Molecular Weight Heparin.
  8. 19. Antiemetic drug which is most valuable in the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
  9. 20. Sedative which offers relief of patient anxiety and amnesia.

  1. 1. Useful alternative alangesic which does not cause reqpiratory depression or dependence.
  2. 3. Non-depolarising muscle relaxant which is reversible by Sugammadex.
  3. 4. Only neuromuscular blocking agent which cannot be reversed.
  4. 6. A rarely used, potent inhalational anaesthetic agent which seldom induces coughing and provides a smooth induction.
  5. 8. Anticholingeric, occassionally used as a premed.
  6. 11. A broad spectrum antibiotic commonly used in theatres.
  7. 12. Barbituate induction agent, which is more traditionally used for a Rapid Sequence Induction.
  8. 13. Oxide Anaesthetic gas first suggested for use by Humphrey Davy that provides euphoria and analgesia.
  9. 15. A respiratory stimulant whose side effects include possible muscle fasiculations.
  10. 16. A highly negative inotropic Calcium Channel Blocker that reduces Cardiac output and slows heart rate.
  11. 17. Used in the treatment of Malignant Hyperpyrexia to delay the contractile process fo the skeletal muscles.
  12. 18. Opiod anagesic generally given Intramuscularly; associated with seizures and delerium.
