Скачать или смотреть Digoxin Explained | Mechanism, Toxicity, Antidote | NCLEX Must-Know Cardiac Drug

Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It increases cardiac contractility and slows the heart rate, making it a high-alert medication that requires careful monitoring.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• Mechanism of action (Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase inhibition simplified)
• How Digoxin increases contractility (positive inotrope)
• Why it slows heart rate (negative chronotrope)
• Therapeutic range & lab monitoring
• Signs of Digoxin toxicity
• Antidote and emergency management
• NCLEX memory tricks

⭐ NCLEX PRO TIPS

✔️ Therapeutic level: 0.5 – 2 ng/mL
✔️ Check apical pulse for 1 full minute before giving
✔️ Hold if HR more then 60 bpm 🚨
✔️ Early toxicity sign = Nausea & vomiting
✔️ Classic sign = Yellow/green vision (halo effect) 👁️
✔️ Risk increases with Hypokalemia
✔️ Antidote = Digoxin Immune Fab (Digibind)

💡 Memory Trick:
“DIG = Danger If Given without checking pulse & potassium”

This video is essential for NCLEX-RN, cardiac pharmacology, and nursing students preparing for exams.
