Interventions

Atropine

Find Atropine in Rate & rhythm. Muscarinic blockade reverses vagal sinus/AV-nodal slowing. In the vasovagal example, restored rate improves forward flow and BP; vasodilation may leave residual hypotension. Distal block is not corrected.

Overview

Open Interventions → Rate & rhythm. Choose Off, Given. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

Muscarinic blockade reverses vagal sinus/AV-nodal slowing. In the vasovagal example, restored rate improves forward flow and BP; vasodilation may leave residual hypotension. Distal block is not corrected.

The paused reference covers the route (IV bolus in monitored symptomatic bradycardia.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: ECG, BP and clinical perfusion; sinus-node failure need not respond.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
