Section 8 - MEDICATION GUIDELINES
8.17 HORMONES / VITAMINS
Vasopressin / pituitary hormone
DESCRIPTION
- Pituitary hormone that can cause vasoconstriction (pressor effect) of the splanchnic and portal vessels (and to a lesser extent of peripheral, cerebral, pulmonary, and coronary vessels). Also increases the smooth muscular activity of the bladder, GI tract, and uterus.
INDICATIONS
- May be used as an alternative pressor to EPINEPHRINE in the treatment of adult shock refractory VF. May be useful for hemodynamic support in vasodilatory shock.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Not recommended for responsive patients with coronary artery disease
PRECAUTIONS
- Potent peripheral vasoconstrictor. Increased peripheral vascular resistance may provoke cardiac ischemia and angina.
DOSAGE
- 40 U IV or IO (once) in Ventricular Fibrillation / Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia
Thaimine / Vitamin
DESCRIPTION
- Thiamine is vitamin B1, which is required to convert glucose into energy. It is not manufactured by the body and must be constantly provided from ingested foods..
INDICATIONS
- Altered level of consciousness, coma of unknown origin, chronic alcoholism and or malnutrition with associated coma.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- None
PRECAUTIONS
- Known hypersensitivity to the vitamin.
DOSAGE
- 100 mg IVP to be given before the administration of D50 if the Pt is also being treated for hypoglycemia.
