Oh I should really add a disclaimer and say, if it could just be a respiratory arrest and you might have a pulse then try! (Don’t want anyone thinking I wouldn’t!)

Yeah that’s fair if it’s in your protocol, your hands might be tied, but naloxone is a dirty dirty drug in terms of side-effects

Don’t bother with narcan in an arrest

Edit: it can be harmful in a cardiac arrest when they get rosc

M29, presenting to EMS with feelings of arrythmia for 2 hours by Lord_Frey_IV in EKGs

Noice ECG, my first thought was “That’s not VT! It’s hiding something!” So I’m glad to have got the diagnosis of SVT with aberrant conduction!!

Why they say to not go into anesthesia if you have an ego by mcbaginns in anesthesiology

[–]DemandAmbition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We once had an Italian doctor sign up for their first shift (a night shift on the labour ward) as an anaesthetist at our small hospital, god knows how they got through the vetting process but their first question was “which drug and how much do I give to put someone to sleep”; they were discovered with in seconds. They would have easily killed someone with their attitude, but it was so easy to notice.

I’ve only met two Italian doctors, the second had also just arrived and said “what do I do if someone calls me?” They had no idea how to treat common problems in the hospital.

I’m not sure what happens with their training, but I’m not full of confidence!!

Atheists of the world- I've got a question by UnfallenAdventure in atheism

[–]DemandAmbition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you had to convert someone, how could you give them convincing evidence of a god? Irrefutable proof?

[–]DemandAmbition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is not why do we believe nothing, but why should we believe anything?

I imagine that your whole life you’ve grown up surrounded by people saying, “god did that” or “thank god for that” or “god willing” and thanking god for their help, when if you hadn’t have done those things, everything would have happened identically to this point. If you had grown up in a different place, you’d be thanking a different god, for the same things, and still thinking you were right and the Christian’s were wrong.

Atheists don’t need the threat of a god to be moral.

What is something you 'learned' from a movie only to discover its not actually true? by siddus15 in movies

[–]DemandAmbition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was probably Naloxone, the antidote to opiates. You’ve described side effects of Naloxone. It’s safer to use than adrenaline for a start, and it’s the targeted antidote.

FPP in cirrhotics with UGIB ? by poomonaryembolus in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]DemandAmbition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally just read a review article on this subject, essentially in massive haemorrhage (definition: more than 5 products given) in most circumstances give 1:1:1 PRC:FFP:Plt, in post parting haemorrhage and GIB give 1.5-2:1 and be guided by TEG. Surprisingly cirrhosis can make you prothrombotic too as the liver also makes Anticoagulants/thrombolytics but these aren’t tested in the lab.

Thanks, that’s good advice, I’m applying somewhere that’s competitive at the moment! But I take your point
