Amiodarone Admistration Info for a Class

Specialties CCU

Published

Hi all,

I am enrolled in NS426 a critical care class and am looking for a little help. I think I might have bitten off a lot, but I am willing to chew. I graduated from an ASN program five years ago, took my NCLEX this summer and passed, but have no real life experiences yet. I am hoping some one might be willing to be my interviewed colleague. I have attached the question the professor has asked us to research below:

"The newest ACLS guidelines include amiodarone as a first line drug for ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Think of a patient who received amiodarone.

What dose did you administer, and what effect did you observe?

If you have not administered amiodarone, interview a colleague who has used this drug."

Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories is the producer of Cordarone (amio). Chec their website or check in Circulation 2000 issue for guidelines.
