EMTP1042 — Paramedic Pharmacology and Parenteral Meds Lab
EMTP 1042 - Paramedic Pharmacology and Parenteral Meds Lab EMTP 1042 - Paramedic Pharmacology and Parenteral Meds Lab Description This class is taught in conjunction with EMTP 1041 . Drug calculations, Starting IV, IV drip, injection, oral administration and drug memorization and numerous other skills are taught. Numerous other skills must be documented and evaluated in order to receive a passing grade in this class. This lab has a very high number of skills that must be performed and the student should come prepared to aggressively perform skills in order to complete all of them during this summer session. Describe the four aspects of movement of drugs through the body (pharmacokinetic parameters-absorption, distribution, biotransformation, elimination), what biochemical & physiological factors affect each aspect and how each aspect will ultimately affect the drugs effect on the body. Define the term receptor and describe the molecular, biochemical, and/or physiological basis of how drugs interact with the body to cause their affects, side effects and adverse effects (pharmacodynamics). Identify and describe the differences in drug responses in pediatric and geriatric populations from the ‘typical’ adult. Use pharmacology data resources to identify and describe the following information of drugs: generic, trade and common names of drugs; its therapeutic or chemical type; its common indicated uses; what physiological effects it produces and mechanism of action; any contraindi
