Drugs Affecting Cardiovascular System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs would be appropriate to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia in the patient with blood in the subarachnoid space?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Verapamil. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that can help prevent delayed cerebral ischemia by reducing vasospasm in the blood vessels in the brain. This is important in patients with blood in the subarachnoid space, as vasospasm can lead to decreased blood flow and subsequent ischemia. Isosorbide mononitrate (B) and Propranolol (C) are not typically used for preventing cerebral vasospasm. Dobutamine (D) is a positive inotrope and is not indicated for preventing cerebral vasospasm.
