What is Amiodarone: Nursing Guidelines & Risks about?
Cordarone is used to treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. It works by prolonging the action potential and refractory period, inhibiting adrenergic stimulation, and slowing sinus rate. Potential side effects include confusion, vision changes, bradycardia, nausea, rash, and pulmonary toxicity. Nurses monitor ECG, assess for pulmonary issues, and watch for signs of toxicity when administering Cordarone intravenously or overseeing oral administration.
