Emergencies: Drug Therapies
Tracking # 20-1131022
Course overview
Emergency situations vary in nature from anaphylaxis to unstable dysrhythmias to cardiac arrest. One thing they have in common is the necessity for pharmacological intervention. The first priority in treating a person during a cardiac emergency is CABD (circulation, airway, breathing, and defibrillation) and determining a differential diagnosis. Emergency drug therapy should be implemented only after assessment of the patient to determine which medications are indicated based on current guidelines. This course will review current guidelines for medications that are frequently encountered in emergent situations, especially cardiac arrest.
