I've been reading through my ALS standards, and have a few (probably very newbie) questions I've been wondering about. I'll try not to drown you in all of my questions at once, but I'll post a few at a time.
-For anaphylaxis patients, since the throat is so swollen, is intubation possible?
-why, for hypothermic patients, is IV access to be started, but nothing is to be administered?
-how do you properly give SC injections without causing swelling under the skin?
-when is glucogon given, as opposed to glucose?
-how long must one wait after 2 failed intubation attempts to attempt again?
-can epinephrine and atrophine be given together for PEA/asystole?
Any assistance on this would be appreciated. thanks in advance!
