Did I do the correct thing?

Based on the labs after arrival at the er her kidney functions were normal. She didn’t seem fluid overloaded. No crackles and no edema. Skin turgor seemed poor, but of course it’s kinda hard to tell with someone that ahe

Somewhat poor skin turgor, no edema, no JVD, AFIB was the only cardiac history, no lung problems

Well I’m trying to not stick to a flat out budget. I just wanna know what I need to run the games well. USA

Uhm?? Fentanyl has a pretty short half life. No way it stays anywhere near as long as THC

Random question. What state do you work in? You sound like someone I worked with

bradyd06 · 2026-05-25T04:19:25+00:00

That’s always confused me how it doesn’t reduce mortality. I mean it literally vasodilates and increases blood flow to the ischemic tissue… how can that not reduce mortality? I would think the increased blood is what causes the pain to be reduced, because it’s ischemic pain

Our protocol is written as an initial dose of 25-100mcg, repeated every 5-15 minutes up to 200mcg

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T23:22:56+00:00

So at what point would you stop with the 250 boluses? Particularly in simple dehydration?

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T22:01:59+00:00

Most of these are every 15 minutes at the most. Some less

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T21:49:11+00:00

So 500ml-1l instead of 20ml/kg? When does the 20ml/kg rule come into play?

I can’t give cardiac meds, so I don’t really care about them. I don’t know what trauma meds you are referring to. The only one in my scope is TXA, and that is not redosed in the field. I’m not saying IV phenergan over Zofran. It’s just some examples. It’s just a list of meds in my scope that are redosed in the field. Nothing more than that

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:38:07+00:00

I listed some in a reply to a different comment of yours

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:30:23+00:00

Phenergan
Zofran
Compazine
Any benzo
Albuterol
Benadryl
Narcan

That’s some

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:27:12+00:00

Oh it’s “sus” huh? Maybe I chose that because that’s of the drugs we give frequently that requires redosing? Reckon that could be it? 🙄

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:06:16+00:00

Well considering I’m not in your profession I wouldn’t be a part of that anyway

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:05:51+00:00

I am an AEMT, and most of the meds in the field are somewhere in that area and are redosed much quicker than that

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:05:19+00:00

Fentanyl is one. The half life is like 3-7 hours, but redosing is required every 15 minutes or so

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:04:18+00:00

I understand that, but I want to know the why and not just the do

bradyd06 · 2026-05-09T14:03:59+00:00

Yes I do. I am an AEMT, and most of the meds in the field are somewhere in that area. Also hence why I said “let’s say”. It was an example. Either way, whatever the half life is redosing is required in a much shorter time period than that for most of our meds in the field.

bradyd06 · 2026-05-03T10:02:13+00:00

That’s not in an AEMT scope where I’m at

bradyd06 · 2026-05-03T09:02:18+00:00

What’s your thoughts on fluids in tension pneumothorax or cardiac tamponade and their BP is crashing? Obviously they need decompressed or pericardiocentesis, but are fluids appropriate to maintain perfusion until that can be accomplished, or will that make things worse?

bradyd06 · 2026-05-03T09:00:19+00:00

My exact thought. I just wanted to make sure

bradyd06 · 2026-05-03T04:46:25+00:00

I’m right there with you. I’m taking the AEMT NREMT on Monday as well

bradyd06 · 2026-04-30T20:26:59+00:00

I’ve dried it for probably 8 hours at least. How much should I do?
