The Question: Tell me about heart adrenaline injecton.
What is it?
Why to use it?
What's for?
Anything related r useful?
I promise to choose UR answer BEST ......IF you answer first & informatively:)

Answer 1

if i m correct heart adrenaline injections are used in times wen the heart rate needs to be controlled quickly by inecting the needle directly into the heart. Aredenaline is a chemical that our body makes that gives us an increase in energy (a rush) to do certain things. In this case it would be used (again if im correct) to force the heart to pump blood faster through the body to maintain oxygen levels in ur muscles. From my understanding it is injected at the time of a heart attack to relax the muscles in the heart allowing it to pump at a more regular rate. It would release the tensed muscles allowing the valves to open more and pump more blood. A heart attack would reduce your arteries size therefore reducing the level of blood flowing causing pressure to build up causing pain. (similar to asthma attacks blocking airways)

hope that helps.

Answer 2

If you're asking about injection straight into the heart in general cardiac resuscitation, it makes for good TV but we quit doing that around a quarter century ago. And it didn't go through the breastbone as one answerer posted. There were two approaches; either from the notch just to the left of the xyphoid process (the bottom tip end of the breast bone) or between the ribs on the left, about the level of the 4th/5th ribs.

Answer 3

Injection of adrenaline into the heart is primarily used in movies for dramatic effect.

In this case it is done by taking the needle and syringe with adrenaline and dramatically smashing it through the sternum (breast bone) or "breast plate" (sic) at a spot marked with a big fat black texta, helping the person in cardiac arrest, eg from a drug overdose (in the instance I have in mind) to gasp and wake up instantaneously.

Other uses of it can occur in open heart surgery when the heart is being difficult to start or having lots of irregular heart beats and making the circulation unstable - especially in a cardiac arrest situation.

In this case, it is given by careful injection either into the heart itself or into a CPB circuit or central line.

MOST commonly, adrenaline (epinephrine for our American counterparts) is used as an intravenous injection or infusion and given in very small (microgram quantities) and not injected into the heart at all. It would be carried there by the circulation (blood flow in the veins bringing the blood back to the heart).

In this circumstance it is used in anaphylaxis (allergy), low blood pressure situations (various forms of shock) and in cardiac arrest.

Adrenaline is a hormone secreted (in tiny amounts) by the adrenal glands of the human body. It has many effects on the body including making the heart beat faster and harder and causing certain blood vessels to constrict.

It has an effect on particular receptors in the body (adrenoreceptors) which cause these specific body effects.

It is good for raising blood pressure and heart rate and hence is used in the treatment of shock and anaphylaxis.

Answer 4

Adrenaline , also called epinephrine is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It is a catecholamine, and a potent sympathomimetic ( actions are those of the sympathetiv nervous system.It is also referred to as the "Fight or Flight" hormone because it prepares the body for fighting or fleeing by elevating the heart rate, stroke volume, dilating the pupils, increasing energy stores by elevating the blood sugar,increases oxygen supply thru increased respiration,increases circulation and vital factors to essential organs IE leg muscles, heart, lungs, etc, and shunts blood away from non- essential organs IE skin, etc. Adrenaline ( injectable) can be used to treat acute asthma attacks (it is a bronchodilator), to treat severe allergic reactions and sepsis ( it has a immunosuppressant effect),and to increase peripheral vascular resistance via alpha stimulation vasoconstriction in the case of cardiac arrest and cardiac dysrhythmias that result in severly diminished or absent cardiac output (or circulation), thus resulting in blood being shunted to the bodies core. (It is an emergency resuscitation drug).The use of adrenaline, especially during cardiac situations can have negative affects after an otherwise successful resuscitation IE cardiac irritability, further dysrhythmias, tachycardia, hypertension, pulmonary edema, etc. Be that as it may it is a very common drug to use for the above reasons, and complications can be anticipated and promptly dealt with. It can be administered for cardiac emergencies straight into the heart muscle, via a breathing tube. IV,etc, and by epipen, or twinjects for allegic reactions/asthma. Hope this helps you didn't specify the situation.

Answer 5

Adrenaline is a natural hormone thats usually made by the body in small quantities. It can be used as an injection directly into the heart used to get the heart to start beating again during a heart attack. It can also be used to aid people who are experiencing heart problems who are suffering from an accute allergic reaction like from multiple bee stings. Its also used to help people experiencing thyroid problems.

Answer 6

adrenaline is a hormone, they use it when a patient is asystolic (no heart beat). It helps to restart the heart, and is injected directly into the myocardium (heart muscle).

Report other drugs which affect the heart rhythm (QTc prolongation), such as: dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine, procainamide, sparfloxacin, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide). Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Do not take any over-the-counter medication for allergies or cough or colds without consulting your doctor or pharmacists.
