Thank you. :-) That's what I say. I say that the pain is triggered by the VT and not by e.g. ACS. But I can not get him to understand it! :blink:

A colleagues and I have a little debate; If an awake patient has VT (+180) with a BP of approximately 100/something. The ECG shows depression due to the rapid pulse! but orienterteret and dry skin, but complain of chest pain would you give Nitroglycerin?

And it comes with a nightlight function ? ;)

Thanks for the replys so far. :) Because of the national hygienic standard here in DK, we must not wear wrist watch, so I am looking for one to sit my belt.

I'm looking for a watch that is hygienic to wear on the job. I'm looking at http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-accessories/more-accessories-for-men/mens-watches/42168.aspx, but are skeptical because you have to touch the clock perhaps with dirty gloves. Which watch/clock do you use...

Hi guys, Thank you for all the reply´s so far, and JPINFV is saying what I'm thinking also; But MSDeltaFlt gives a fine answer to that. although undocumented ;) But silver gives a good link. Yesterday a talked to a anesthesiologist, and even he couldnt definitely explain if a hemo...

I need to understand this correctly, perhaps someone can help; When oxygen is binding to haemoglobin will all 4 haem-groups automatic be occupied ?? I understand that the Partial pressure is important for the saturation, and when one group is getting occupied it makes it easier for the...

Perhaps a stupid question, MrBrown, but evidence for the negativ supraphysiological effect is it available online ?

What this dude is saying :cool:

In Denmark the arrhythmia is a know, but is categorized as a "rare" side effect(0,1-1%). "Use of ondansetron with drugs that prolong the QT interval may result in additional QT prolongation. Concomitant use of ondansetron with cardio-toxic drugs (eg anthracyclines) may increase the risk of...

STEMI Localisation I think this shows it very good. http://youtu.be/cg2KY7bzR2s

In PHTLS it is said that blunt traumatic arrest in the prehospital environment can´t be resuscitated. And in the case you describe it sounds like the victim was all ready dead and therefore even with CPR you could not save him. Sometimes we learn things the hard way, so in my eyes, you did...

It sounds just like in Denmark. :blink: It must be a contagious nursing home thing.!

Nope, I would not activate the trauma team for this. If neurologic fall out to the LE, I would immobilize, it there is no fall out, no board and collar.

Yes, probably, but have in mind the primary call was to Hypoglycemia and there was a low BS. There were no mention of "Dehydratio". I decided is was "dehydratio" second to the low BS, because I haven't heard that glucose D50 could cause low BP, but just in case I would hear the folks in here...

I think, it is the case, as most(all)of you say; There is no connection between Glucose bolus and the low BP. Under normal circumstances the pt would stay at the nursing home after treatment, but I decided to take him to the hospital; "Dehydratio".

Hey guys, thx. for your comments. I don´t suspect a second illness that could get him to decompensate. When he came up after he got Glucose D50, he was AOx3. I really think the low BP, it was a "freak of nature", but my professional pride "force me to investigate". Brown; Me to... I also do...

Hey, I´have search the internet for a answer, and maybe there is nothing to it, and it was just and coincident, but can 40 ml of glucose D50, make the BP drop ? I´had a hypoglymic(IDDM) pt yesterday with a BS on 1,2 mmol and I´ then gave him 40 ml as describe above, and for...

Hey, I´m looking into bying a AMLS book, but I can see there are two different books out there. Which want is the most jused one ? Or/and the best ? Brady: http://www.emergencystuff.com/0131723405.html Mosby...

In Denmark we cool (spray on) the burns with NaCl 9%. We dont juse dressings. If the burn is over 10% there is a pause for every 15 min. so the patient dont get hypothermia. And off course O2 and analgesic IV.
