Amitriptyline OD

[trauma1534]

I had an OD situation some time back involving the drug Amitriptyline, I was wondering if anyone else has had dealings with this situation and how did you handle it?

This is where you are going to feel bad about giving ridryder a hard time, and this is where you are going to see why a good formal education is so important. After he blows you away with his answer, you might have a better understanding why I think all ems providers should be paramedics (at the very least).

Now, that was uncalled for! Be pretty!

I didn't mean it as an insult but I guess it came out wrong, sorry

Guardian, act pretty!

I want to clarify something about Ridryder. I don't hate the guy's guts. I think he is very inteligent, just alot of times, he comes off sounding like he is trying to insult people. Hard guy to figure out. I just call things as I see them from some of his comments. I don't disregard everything that comes out of his mouth, or in our case, fingers when he types! ;-P

Lets not get a pissing match going in here, please! I just want to discuss the situation with the drug.

again, guardian, don't be ungly, act pretty! ;-)

 

[Guardian]

I'm pretty enough as it is, i don't need to act it!

Pretty is, pretty does! LOL

Just hang a bicarb drip and then "press hard-3 copies."

Fedmedic, have you ever known anyone with this type OD?

Yep, picked several up. It is a tricyclic antidrepressant. Treated with bicarb, due to it causing metabolic acidosis. Now why do want to make me access all that useless information I have stored, now I have a headache....geez

Well... a little birdy told me that you knew someone personally who had this OD. What was done for that patient? I believe it had something to do with a bathtub? LOL

 

[Fedmedic]

Oh...now I know what you are getting at....hahahahahahahahahahah

 

[jeepmedic]

you know he's our uncle

 

[Fedmedic]

We should probably get Prizonmedik's take on this one.......

 

[jeepmedic]

I called him today and he said he was grounded.

 

[Fedmedic]

He told me the same thing...imagine that.

Bicarb would be your friend here, and only a paramedic staffed truck. I think paramedics should be the only level allowed on a truck anyway.

That is a matter of an oppinion. I happen to love to work with good eager to learn EMT-B's. What about the EMT-I's?
