I don't know if there is a specific drug guide since the patients vary between ages, diagnosis, etc...but some of medications are: versed propofol sodium bicarbonate insulin potassium antibiotics aspirin protonix zofran Asa dopamine dextrose magnesium fluids of all types nitro drips Tylenol. Like I said it's really hard to list them all as all scenarios are different but these will likely be ur routine meds
Drips:
-vasopressors: levophed, vasopressin, epinephrine, dopamine, phenylephrine
-antihypertensives/vasodilators: nicardipine, nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, labetalol
-positive inotrope: dobutamine, isuprel
-sedatives: propofol, precedex, midazolam
-analgesics: fentanyl
-misc: heparin, insulin
-paralytics: vecuronium, norcuronium
Intubation meds:
-etomidate, midazolam, succinylcholine
ACLS meds
*know your hospital's policies on these drugs and their titration parameters. Also know which drugs you keep on the unit and which ones pharmacy sends. Most emergency drips (levophed) can be mixed on the unit.
