Very cool! Best of luck with your interviews. You'll have to let me know how it goes. I've had a lot of great feedback from people doing interviews, especially with some of the patho behind the drugs. Also check out the ICU Drips series as each classification of drug I do a good patho review there.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello. Love your videos. Is it possible to do a video about ccu meds and what to look for, i.e which labs, sideeffects etc?

Wow this is amazing!

Thank you for the video ! This video does a very nice job of explaining its properties and function. I was put on this medication about 4 weeks ago by my cardiologist and now I know why. I started at 400mg for 2 weeks and now 200mg. It has definitely helped with my AFIB and lowered my pulse rate. Yes the side effects have a lot to be desired BUT i am still breathing.

One note - if amiodarone had beta blocking properties it would be a beta antagonist (graphic shows agonist). Blockade = anatagonism in this instance; an agonist would be a chronotropic drug (speed up the heart)

should we give a loading dose of amio in the central line or peripheral; a 20 gauge AC line is acceptable to administer loading amio and maintenance amio to manage monomorphic VT? Thank you.

Here in my hospital we give 300mg in 100ml over an hour as a loading dose. Then 900mg in 50ml over 23 hours. Dilution fluid is D5W.

Do you have to use the micron filter when giving the loading dose too?

@ICUAdvantage

Жыл бұрын

Yup! Only time we don't is for push dose in code for refractory vfib/vtach

In cardiac arrest while pushing the 300mg amiodarone do we need to dilute with D5%????? Some said undiluted is that right ???

I just received my ACLS cert yay thank you your videos helped me too. Also it's just a slight difference, but isn't the recommendation still to dilute it in D5W during cardiac arrest? My examiner did not accept when I only said 300mg IV push (for VF after defib & epi), so I added, diluted in 10-20cc D5W

@dylanl4780

2 жыл бұрын

In a code situation: initial 150 mg IV bolus of amiodarone, followed by amiodarone 150 mg IV drip in D5W over ~10 minutes. Use a filter needle when mixing! Don't have to worry about filter needle with the bolus in the setting of a code - more important to give the drug and hopefully regain ROSC/sinus rhythm

For codes, we just give it straight, no dilution.

Thx for the video. What if the patient resistant SVT converted immediately after the loading amiodarone dose ? Should I finish off the infusion for 24 hours or should I just stop it.

@ICUAdvantage

4 ай бұрын

It depends on who you ask, but I've seen it go both ways, although typically if they convert (either from metoprolol, cardizem or amio bolus) then we often won't follow up with a drip unless they go back in.
