Intravenous Medications
Amiodarone:
I.V. DOSE RECOMMENDATIONS -- FIRST 24 HOURS -- Loading infusions. The recommended starting dose of Cordarone I.V. is about 1000 mg over the first 24 hours of therapy, delivered by the following infusion regimen.
First Rapid: 150 mg over the FIRST - 10 minutes (15 mg/min). Add 3 mL of Cordarone I.V. (150 mg) to 100 mL D 5 W. Infuse 100 mL over 10 minutes.
Followed by Slow: 360 mg over the NEXT 6 hours (1 mg/min). Add 18 mL of Cordarone I.V. (900 mg) to 500 mL D 5 W (conc = 1.8 mg/mL).
Maint infusion: 540 mg over the REMAINING 18 hours (0.5 mg/min).
After first 24 hours, the maint infusion rate of 0.5 mg/min (720 mg/24 hours) should be continued utilizing a concentration of 1 to 6 mg/mL (Cordarone I.V. concentrations greater than 2 mg/mL should be administered via a central venous catheter). In the event of breakthrough episodes of VF or hemodynamically unstable VT, Give 150-mg/100 ml D5W over 10min to minimize potential for hypotension. The rate of the maint inf may be inc to achieve effective arrhythmia suppression. // The initial infusion rate should not exceed 30 mg/min. The maintenance infusion of up to 0.5 mg/min can be cautiously continued for 2 to 3 weeks regardless of the patient's age, renal function, or LV fcn. limited experience in pts receiving Cordarone I.V. > 3 weeks.
Amrinone (Inocor): 0.75 mg/kg bolus IV over 2-3min, f/b infusion IV at 5-10 mcg/kg/min.
Cisatracium: Intermittent IV dosing: initial dose 0.15 - 0.2 mg/kg IV bolus, followed by 0.03 mg/kg IV q40-60 minutes. Continuous infusion: 0.15-0.2 mg/kg bolus, followed by 1 to 3 mcg/kg/min. (range: 0.5 to 10 mcg/kg/min). Based on a standard dilution of 1 mg/ml (eg 100mg/100ml or 200mg/200ml) and a weight of 70kg:
1 mcg/kg/min =4.2 ml/hr
3 mcg/kg/min =12.6 ml/hr
0.15 mg/kg =10.5 mg
0.2 mg/kg=14 mg
Digoxin: Loading dose: CHF: 8-12 mcg/kg in divided doses (q4-8h) over 12 to 24 hours. [Normally, give 50% of the total digitalizing dose in the initial dose, then give 25% of the total dose in each of the two subsequent doses at 8 to 12 hr intervals-Obtain EKG 6 hours after each dose to assess potential toxicity (AV block, sinus bradycardia, atrial or nodal ectopic beats, ventricular arrhythmias); Other: vision changes, confusion.] If pt has renal insufficiency give 6 to 10 mcg/kg IBW. A-fib: 10 to 15 mcg/kg IBW given as above. (If given IVPush-admin over at least 5 min)

Intravenous Medications
Amiodarone:
I.V. DOSE RECOMMENDATIONS -- FIRST 24 HOURS -- Loading infusions. The recommended starting dose of Cordarone I.V. is about 1000 mg over the first 24 hours of therapy, delivered by the following infusion regimen.
First Rapid: 150 mg over the FIRST - 10 minutes (15 mg/min). Add 3 mL of Cordarone I.V. (150 mg) to 100 mL D 5 W. Infuse 100 mL over 10 minutes.
Followed by Slow: 360 mg over the NEXT 6 hours (1 mg/min). Add 18 mL of Cordarone I.V. (900 mg) to 500 mL D 5 W (conc = 1.8 mg/mL).
Maint infusion: 540 mg over the REMAINING 18 hours (0.5 mg/min).
After first 24 hours, the maint infusion rate of 0.5 mg/min (720 mg/24 hours) should be continued utilizing a concentration of 1 to 6 mg/mL (Cordarone I.V. concentrations greater than 2 mg/mL should be administered via a central venous catheter). In the event of breakthrough episodes of VF or hemodynamically unstable VT, Give 150-mg/100 ml D5W over 10min to minimize potential for hypotension. The rate of the maint inf may be inc to achieve effective arrhythmia suppression. // The initial infusion rate should not exceed 30 mg/min. The maintenance infusion of up to 0.5 mg/min can be cautiously continued for 2 to 3 weeks regardless of the patient's age, renal function, or LV fcn. limited experience in pts receiving Cordarone I.V. > 3 weeks.
