1-4 The PDPs, phenylephrine and epinephrine, result in vasoconstriction and increased cardiac contractility. They can be associated with side effects such as reflex bradycardia, decreased stroke volume in phenylephrine, tachycardia and hypertension associated with epinephrine.
Check the pulse RSI= Resuscitation Sequence Intubation Hypoxia, Hypotension, and Acidosis are the reason patients code during/post intubation These patients are super high risk for all 4 Optimize first pass success – Induction agent + paralytic Unconscious patients will still have muscle tone Induction Ketamine or Etomidate at half doses (i.e.,
to 1mg/kg/hr) Information regarding the vasopressors used in the study is as follows: Norepinephrine equivalents = norepinephrine mcg/kg/min + (phenylephrine mcg/kg/min/10) + epinephrine mcg/kg/min + (vasopressin units/min x2.5) Until further evidence presents itself, what this study offers is building upon what we do know.
2][3] Definitive diagnosis is made by laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy showing normal or mildly erythematous epiglottis and an erythematous, edematous trachea with thick mucopurulent exudates. [3] 2][3] Bacterial tracheitis should be suspected over croup if nebulized racemic epinephrine or steroids do not improve the clinical course. [2][3][8]
The TEG group had a shorter ICU length of stay in the first admission. Patients exclusively managed in the ICU which decreases applicability for patients in other locations Very small sample size of 96 patients No definition was provided for exclusion criteria of significant cardiopulmonary disease. were performed.
They stated that the patient was coded for 20 minutes, including multiple doses of epinephrine, and they also gave glucose, calcium, and bicarb. As stated above, resuscitation included epinephrine, calcium, and bicarb. Of course this must be followed immediately with definitive therapies and potassium source control if possible.
The definition of massive hemoptysis is variable across publications with expectorated blood volumes ranging from 100 to 1,000 mL per 24 hours, as these volumes are difficult to estimate for any given patient. 2 Death from hemoptysis is akin to drowning, so airway considerations usually take precedence over hemodynamic considerations.
