---------- Where and what BLS Agency is administering Tranexamic Acid in the field?

I 100 percent agree. Need the ng tube. Unfortunately It's Not in my box. Asa pr administration was selected once his extensive mi was found post 15-lead. All elective post resuscitation treatments were already completed pre-hospital. Em route to the emergency room, anti-platlet therapy seemed...

What would be a desired dose? 324Mg in 5 cc?

Poetic, do u use Suppository or PO dissolving in this particular indication? was reviewing the updated circulation Aha, and it lists rectal aspirin as a class 1 intervention, No other specifications on regular vs. Suppository.

We would all agree with that, but what im saying is in an emergent setting...if we could even slightly decrease the rate of morbidity or mortality; why not administer it? The patient was intubated, we all know aspirin is crucial. Chewable aspirin readily dizzolves. Mucosal wall damage is minimal...

patient arrested. Successfully resus in ten minutes. Patient was intubated. induced hypothermia initiated. patient was showing positive neurological signs, ie eye tearing, lid flickering, extremitiy movement ect. patient sedated with fentanyl. successful. post arrest 12 and 15 leads obtained...

Question has came up and need a little insight here. In an emergent setting of an elvolving MI, can you administer PO, chewable asa via rectally? Understanding the preferred administration is using a suppository, but should still have the same chemical properties after coating has been...

Good afternoon ladies and Gents. Im looking for a little insight here. Im having a hard time locating printable drug labels to place onto syringes, vials, ect. for ALS training purposes. Is anyone aware of any training sites or locations where I could get those? I have the vials and syringes but...

The last couple of CPAP administrations ive did really didnt work well and just had to discontinue them on status ashmatics. The patient just didnt tolerate the mask, and ended up just using peep attachment via BVM and bagging albuterol+atrovent in. To me, its still the same. The real question...

I personally just hate giving albuterol with the presence of rhales even diffuse rhonchi. Most of the time, we can do a thorough assessement and deem it an obstructive airway/broncho spasm or pump failure.

Not actually assessing the patient first hand and just looking at capno. I would suggest that was more CHF then an obstructive airway issue. the more upright plateau. Telling us that the alveoli are for the most part emptying effectivly. There would be an slant/ upslope otherwise.

Good day my fellow ALS providers. I need alittle input on a topic. Now lets say you have a LVF/CHF patient presenting with typical s/s. Lets say you hear rales all fields accompanied by diffuse expiratory wheeze. We all know its most likely cardiac wheeze. Now, beginning with trending tx...

copy that. true that. it does Possesses some vagolytic and/or calcium channel blocking activity.

hmm. strange. I cant count how many times ive used it. Although I prefer Lido. Your supposed to use a loading dose of 150mg. over ten min. Then hang a maintenance drip/infusion. Never heard of someone jumping to an infusion off the bat. Im guessing theres additional pathologies going to to cause...

second that
