Guest Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I am totally enjoying the thought proccesses here, YES buy all means lets get the Head up. It may improve V/Q mismatch, it can't hurt, try 45 degree Head up. You have staved off intubation for this snapshot in time, but you still have 38 minutes to a difinitive care facility. Still no resque Chopper available! Sa02 has improved to 85 % ? Any other ideas out there? Anyup date on V/S needed? ps time for my nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callthemedic Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I thought the beta blockers would be masking the increased fluid and also slow glomerule filtration, so it seemed logical that antidot to blockers would restore filtration also. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callthemedic Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Tamponade from shearing For which cpr would be worthless. Do you happen to have an echo machine in your jump bag? Still, I don't remember him reporting QRST on that pain either. Did I miss the location and radiating of the pain in the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
