CBEMT Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 In Vfib/pulseless Vtach, bolus dose of 300mg IVP. Other arrythmias (patient has a pulse) bolus dose of 150mg IV over 8 - 10 minutes. In Vfib/pulseless Vtach, post resuscitation care the drip is 900mg in 500ml, 1 mg/hour for the first 6 hours, 0.5 mg /hour the next 18 - that's what the hell for The chances of me even getting through the 150 before hitting the hospital is slim, even at the PT job. FT, if I even have time to get it on the pump something is seriously wrong. The ER can hang the rest of it. I need to be carrying 450mg. And since my service doesn't have a pump yet, I can't even do the drip so all I need is 300mg for the arrest IVP dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
