Drugs for agitated patients?

[DwayneEMTP]

Is it bad that I only tend to focus on drugs for aggitated medics?

What do you take?

[Jacki]

If the Haldol overdose was recent, the maine long term care provider may use certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." However, there is no treatment that can remove it quickly.

Why fixed bolus dosages for combative pt/RSI rather than a weight based dosing as you have done in trauma?

Concern for overdosage in trauma. Too much ketamine will dick up our neuro exam in a trauma patient if the ketamine is given for pain when the intent is not to knock them out. For the RSI/STI/sedation, there is a wide therapeutic index for the dissociative doses, so we are not as concerned about an overdose.
