Sorry this may be reposted, because i hit send, but the I couldn't find my thread.
So I am doing my RSI homework and reading drug profiles.
Concerning paralytics, what do you consider prior to choosing your paralytic. Do you have more than one option? Is it only a depolarizing or nondepolarizing? Do you have a choice between benzylquinolinium compounds or aminosteroidal compounds?
I see the various duration of actions, time of onset, side effects (histamine release, hypotension, tachycardia, increase in SBP, potentiation of hyperkalemia, bradycardia, increased intraocular pressure, among many others), 25% recovery times
Is it easy to make a decision because of protocols, or do you have autonomy and an excellent tool box?
