ChatGPT

  1. esmolol

    Esmolol is a type of medication that is primarily used to control heart rate and blood pressure in critical care situations. It belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers, which work by affecting the response to certain nerve signals in your heart and blood vessels. This results in a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and increased oxygen flow to the heart. It is often used during surgery, in heart attack treatment, or in cases of severe high blood pressure. Esmolol is typically given as an injection directly into a vein by a healthcare provider.

  1. Esmolol

    Esmolol is a cardioselective beta1 receptor blocker with rapid onset, a very short duration of action, and no significant intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity at therapeutic dosages. It is a class II antiarrhythmic. Esmolol decreases the force and rate of heart contractions by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system, which are found in the heart and other organs of the body. Esmolol prevents the action of two naturally occurring substances: epinephrine and norepinephrine.
