CEPS IBHRE – MEDICATIONS
TEST
Protamine - Answer: Heparin antagonist.
Narcan (Naloxone): Morphine antagonist.
Vitamin K - Warfarin Antagonist.
Alpha Adrenergic - ANSWER Autonomic receptors for vasoconstriction
Beta-1 adrenergic receptors are autonomic receptors that stimulate the heart.
Beta-2 adrenergic - ANSWER Autonomic receptors for bronchodilation
ANSWER: Cholinergic autonomic receptors for cardiac depression.
Beta Blocker - Answer propanolol is an autonomic medication.
Cholinergic - ANSWER Autonomic Drug Type: Acetylcholine
Vagal Blocker (Parasympathetic Blocker) - Answer: Autonomic Drug type:
Atropine
Slower heart rate and AV node conduction - ANSWER The hemodynamic
effects of activating parasympathetic receptors
1.0 - Answer Normal, uncoagulated INR.
2.0-3.0 - Answer Coumadin/warfarin's therapeutic INR range for AF patients
ANSWER: The elimination half life of amiodarone is 4-8 weeks.
, ANSWER: No known reversal agents. Why do many doctors cease Xarelto /
Dabigatran in AF patients before AF ablation procedures?
Eliquis, Xarelto, and Pradaxa are three examples of novel anticoagulant
medicines.
Pradaxa is a novel anticoagulant and direct thrombin inhibitor.
Bridging anticoagulation: ANSWER A method of preprocedural
anticoagulation in which a patient discontinues anticoagulation prior to a PVI, is
heparanized during the procedure, and then restarts warfarin/coumadin after the
surgery.
ANSWER: Avoid exercise and stress and take beta blockers. Recommended
treatment for asymptomatic patients with long QTs.
Quinidine, Dofetilide, Sotalol, Procainimide, Amiodarone, Ibutilide,
Dysopyramide - ANSWER Drugs that cause long QT (long QT dogs should be
SPAID).
IA (Na-blockers, Double Quarter Pounder) and III (K-blockers) are anti-
arrhythmic medication classes that cause protracted QTS.
Dofetilide, Ibutilide, Sotalol, and Amiodarone - four class III antiarrhythmic
medicines.
Magnesium - Answer Drug suggested for patients with unstable Torsades that
do not respond to defibrillation.
ACT, ANSWER Recommended heparin monitoring test in interventional
cardiology procedures.
300 seconds - Minimum ACT while mapping/ablating in the LA.
Diphynhydramine (benadryl) is a prophylactic medication against contrast
reactions.
