What you'll learn

Key ideas in Ontario Paramedic Pharmacology

  • ASA inhibits COX-1 to prevent platelets from sticking to an existing clot
  • Nitroglycerin primarily causes venodilation, which pools blood in the periphery
  • Stopping thrombus propagation maintains what little blood flow remains
  • Reducing preload lowers the heart's workload and its demand for oxygen
  • Early antiplatelet action is directly linked to lower mortality rates in STEMI
  • Systemic venous dilation is more clinically significant than coronary dilation
  • The clinical rationale for immediate ASA administration in suspected STEMI
  • The primary hemodynamic mechanism of Nitroglycerin in cardiac chest pain
  • Salbutamol targets Beta-2 receptors specifically located in bronchial smooth muscle
  • Activation of these receptors triggers rapid relaxation of the airway
  • Beta-2 stimulation is the mechanism for fast-acting relief in asthma or COPD
  • The Six Rights provide a systematic checklist to catch errors before they reach the patient
  • Verifying the right dose and route are critical steps after selecting the medication
  • Documentation is the final 'right' that completes the clinical administration loop
  • The cellular target and result of Salbutamol administration
  • The standard sequence of the Six Rights during medication prep
