The nurse should be prepared to monitor pulse and ventilation immediately for a patient receiving epinephrine infusion.
Epinephrine, often called adrenaline, is a very potent drug that may produce adverse side effects if taken in inappropriate amounts. It is used to treat cardiac arrest, hypotension, or severe allergies, known as anaphylaxis, caused by some insect's bite.
Some of its side effects include respiratory problems, dizziness, headache, weakness, nausea, pale skin, sweating, feeling nervous, anxious, or fearful.
Thus the nursing interventions should be performed as:
● Assess the patient's respiratory count, pulse, blood pressure, and urine output continuously
● Administer the dose carefully in appropriate amounts- usually, the dose does not exceed 1mg
● Report it to the doctors if any of the side effects do not vanish in 20 minutes after the infusion.
