Across
- 5. 1-2 of these should be the maximum amount of time spent on pushing in adenosine
- 6. this describes how often you will assess perfusion while on epinephrine
- 8. Agents that improve myocardial contractility and enhance stroke volume
- 9. is administered to keep the PDA open for ductal dependent congenital heart defects
- 10. this is improved when dopamine is being administered
- 14. describes the proper method to administer dopamine
- 15. this causes vasodilation, improves contractility of the heart, and decreases PVR and SVR
- 16. describes the systemic vascular resistance while on dopamine
- 19. this demand is increased by the myocardium while on epinephrine
- 21. describes what happens to the tissue around a PIV that is infiltrated while administering dobutamine
- 22. agents that increase systemic vascular resistance thus increasing blood pressure
Down
- 1. describes the rate at which to administer calcium so as not to cause hypotension
- 2. is the side effect of most concern while caring for a patient on prostaglandin E
- 3. describes what happens to the peripheral vasculature while on epinephrine
- 4. has more of an effect on cardiac output than dopamine with less effect on blood pressure
- 7. is a cardiac stimulant that increases heart rate and the strength of cardiac contractions
- 11. is an inotrope that is the first line drug for low blood pressure in the NICU
- 12. a sign of this drug is reaching toxic levels is bradycardia
- 13. describes how frequently you would record vital signs while on inotropes
- 17. is the drug used to treat SVT
- 18. describes the low dose of dopamine at 1-3 mcg/kg/min
- 20. is the device used to help administer adenosine appropriately
