Any environment in which a patient may unexpectedly experience a medical emergency needs to have the equipment to deal with that emergency efficiently. That’s the job of a crash cart emergency drugs. A crash cart contains the equipment and medications that would be required to treat a patient in the first thirty minutes or so of a medical emergency. Although crash carts drugs and equipment can differ somewhat depending upon their location. Drug dilutions may also vary according to hospital policy. It's important to know these life-saving drugs to all Nurses to handle the medical emergency scenarios.
DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

10. ADRENALINE
• Routes of administration:-
› IV push OR Intraosseus 1mg
Infusion (3mg in 50 mls N/S at 1ml/hr
=1ug/min), titrate accordingly
› ETT (2-2.5X IVdose)
11. ADRENALINE ---- ACTIONS
• increases contractile force of the heart thus
increasing cardiac output
• increases conduction of SA node, AV node and
ventricle thus increasing heart rate
• increases systemic vascular resistance through
peripheral vasoconstriction thus increasing
perfusion pressure
12. ADRENALINE ---- SIDE-EFFECTS
• Ventricular irritability
– tachyarrthymias
• ↑ Myocardial Oxygen demand
- risk of ischaemia and MI
• Cerebrovascular event
13. ATROPINE
• Anticholinergic (parasympatholytic)
– inhibits effect of acetylcholine on SA and AV
node
– increases SA node and AV node conduction
velocity
– decreases effective refractory period AV node
• Increases heart rate and cardiac output
17. AMIODARONE
• Has characteristics of all 4 antiarrhythmic drug
classes
– affect sodium, potassium and calcium channel
– alpha and beta blocking properties
• Used in BOTH supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrthymias
– Refractory VT/VF
– Stable monomorphic or polymorphic VT
– PSVTs, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation
– Wide complex tachycardia of uncertain origin
– Pre-excited atrial arrhythmia
18. AMIODARONE
• VF, pulseless VT and refractory VT/VF
– Drug of Choice
• IV bolus dose 300 mg
• repeat IV bolus 150 mg in 3-5 mins
followed by IV Infusion 900 mg over 24h
• Other arrhythmias
› IV Infusion 150 mg over 10min
followed by IV infusion 900 mg over 24h
20. LIGNOCAINE ---- ACTIONS
• Raises fibrillatory threshold
• enhances the effect of DC shock
• Suppresses automaticity and shortens effective
refractory period and action potential duration
• slows down heart rate
• Inhibits reentry mechanism – halts arrhythmias
21. LIGNOCAINE
• Routes of administration:-
– IV push (1.0 to 1.5 mg/kg)
Additional 0.5-0.75 mg/kg
Max: 3 mg/kg
Infusion 1 gm Lignocaine in 500 ml N/S
30 to 120 ml/hr (1 – 4 mg/min)
– ETT (2-2.5X IV dose)
23. ADENOSINE
• A short acting agent that depresses SA node and
AV node function
• Used in narrow complex supraventricular
tachycardia
• Half life : 5 seconds
• Initial dose of 6 mg rapid IV push (may be
repeated at 12 mg )
24. ADENOSINE - SIDE-EFFECTS
• Transient bradycardia or even ASYSTOLE
• Hypotension
• Chest pain
• Dyspnoea
• Bronchospasm (caution in asthma )
• Transient flushing
25. DOPAMINE
Indications:
• cardiogenic shock
• septicaemic shock
• neurogenic shock
• anaphylactic shock
• hypovolaemic shock only after fluid resuscitation
has failed to raise BP
29. SODIUM BICARBONATE
• A significant sodiumload
• 8.4% solution is hypertonic => arterial
vasodilatation and hypotension
• Extravasation => tissue necrosis
• Not to be injected via same IV line as
catecholamines and calcium
30. SODIUM BICARBONATE
• only beneficial in hyperkalaemia
• probably beneficial in
- bicarbonate responsive acidosis
• possibly beneficial in
- protracted cardiac arrest with effective
ventilation
- postresuscitation acidosis with effective
ventilation
