Some stuff related to this past week’s lectures (Sorry for the delay!)
- Great overview of anaphylaxis management: http://first10em.com/2015/07/20/anaphylaxis/
- Do steroids prevent biphasic reactions? http://rebelem.com/may-2015-rebelcast/#more-3788
- Need to start that anaphylaxis (or otherwise hypotensive) patient on epi but can’t wait for the bag to make it up from pharmacy? Use push-dose pressors! Especially helpful if you go somewhere that doesn’t have excellent pharmacists and nurses like we have at Grady. http://emcrit.org/podcasts/bolus-dose-pressors/
- And while we’re at it, what about giving that pressor through a peripheral line?http://rebelem.com/mythbuster-administration-of-vasopressors-through-peripheral-intravenous-access/
