Adult Dosing
- Loading dose = 0.5mg rapid IV bolus q3-5min (max = 0.04 milligram/kg)
- May be given IM, IO, SC
Indications
- Symptomatic sinus or AV nodal bradycardia
Mechanism of Action
- Parasympatholytic
- Increases sinus/AV conduction
Adverse Drug Reactionss
- Increased O2 consumption
- If given slowly (or <0.5mg) may lead to paradoxical bradycardia
Kinetics
- Onset of action = 2-4min
- Duration of action = 5hr
