    Restocking from Other Units?

    It could be laziness but it could also be a complicated way of reporting and getting the material. Like for instance calling supervisor/completing a protocol/locked storage room/ etc ... That just asks for many things to go wrong. Supervisor is not present/busy/unwilling, nobody has the key, ...

    I have a strange feeling I read the exact same words on Reddit. Haha

    Hip Fractures

    OK I get the instructions on how to do it but I would really appreciate a picture of it. It's hard for me to visualize how it looks.

    Nitro spray on skin before IV

    Okay seems like noone here likes it. I was also a bit shocked when I first heard it. Didn't know what to think of it. Now I believe it's not right even as a last resort.

    Nitro spray on skin before IV

    OK, so it doesn't work very well. But it does work a bit? Isn't that still better than nothing when you can't find a vein?

    Nitro spray on skin before IV

    I was talking to a colleague of mine who said he knows someone who uses Nitrolingual spray on skin before applying IV needle on patients with small/hidden/bad veins. Theoretically it seems plausible but has anyone ever tried that? What do you think? Does it work?

    amiodarone + normal saline

    There are lots of articles on the internet that say giving Amiodarone without anything has better outcome than mixing it with NS or D5%. That's for cardiac arrest, ofcourse.

    Welcome Physio-Control

    Thanks! EL is much more superior especially in direct sunlight. You should have started making LP12s with EL from the start.

    Amiodarone in a CORE

    We also get that rule in Slovenia aswell. 5% Glucose only! No NaCl! Which seems a bit odd to me reading you guys dilute it with NS. Also is it better to dilute it at all?!

    The Skinny on Defibrillation - 150J, 200J, 300J or 360J? Biphasic or not? Waveform?

    I'm sorry to bump this old topic but recently this topic has been discussed where I work and noone can really explain it. I read this topic and links in it but I still don't understand much as it has lots of "heavy" scientific words. So can someone explain this to me in a more easy and less...

    drug synergy

    So what about Amiodarone and NS? Doing my clinicals and preparing a doctor's order where it said 300 mg in 250 cc of NS. I was like "What the hell... this must be a mistake" So i asked a nurse, my mentor, if this is wrong and she said that they never put Amiodarone in 5% Dextrose... that...
