Learn which drugs to use to resuscitate your patient in cardiopulmonary arrest and how each drug works to restore normal sinus rhythm and circulation, raise blood pressure, or lower critically high potassium levels.

With this DVD, you'll learn:

• how to administer epinephrine by I.V. bolus, I.V. infusion, or endotracheal intubation
• why vasopressin may be used instead of epinephrine to divert blood to the coronary and cerebral blood vessels and preserve circulation to the heart and brain
• how amiodarone works with defibrillation to suppress ventricular fibrillation and prevent new arrhythmias from occurring
• how to assess for adverse effects of norepinephrine therapy, such as peripheral ischemia and GI bleeding
• how calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and regular insulin with glucose work to help correct hyperkalemia......and much, much more.
