Unorthodox Magnesium

[tniuqs]

Ipratropium (Atrovent)

Rats a day late and a dollar short!

Yes in the COPDer the studies are very signifigant that FEV1/FVC improves without the side effects of B2....AZCEP is quite correct (like he needs my ego boosting... .)

There is a tremendous over usage of B2s ! and the profolactic use of Roids needs far more work in education.

Sure Doesn't leave the EMS practitioner many options when the patient has had 37 MDI treatments prior to arrival.

These are the patients that alternatives need to be considered more frequently in. Thus the suggestion of using magnesium. CPAP is one option that too many providers don't have yet, while magnesium is relatively common.

I have only had positive experiences with MgSO4 for asthmatics. We are finally getting here in Eastern PA in July, when the [horrid] state protocols go online.
