I'm surprised. While there is not spectacular evidence for their use prehospitally, they have their place and given their relatively long onset time they seem to be a worthy, "we've got the big stuff done and aren't there yet" sort of intervention. Not a necessity, but a nice to have.Nah bro, there's no steroids on our rigs.. You'd use mag to treat a pt with hypotension?
As for the mag, it would depend (as always). If nothing else is working and we are bringing the patient's pressure back up with fluid, it might be a consideration. Again with the whole education thing. Presently, I lack the education to make that decision.
