3. ISCM block for shoulder surgery

   maturner replied to catcolalex's topic in CRNA

   I hope to get some of the folks in HI to buy into the block. I loved it @ Navy and IMHO found it easier and more reliable than interscalene. Bye the way, The Irishman and myself received the good word about our board results yesterday. It sure fee...

4. I passed

   Congrats buddy! The Irishman and I took the quiz on wednesday. I was so nervous when I hit the enter button on that 90th question, and so relieved when it shutdown.

5. IM Atropine dose for peds emergency

   maturner replied to sandman1's topic in CRNA

   No where do I see an onset of 15 minutes! Interestingly the onset following deltoid injection falls right within the the onset of 3-5 minutes for Sux. Those darn pharmokinetics. So much for useless... Anesth Analg. 1997 Jan;84(1):54-8. Sulliv...

   maturner replied to sandman1's topic in CRNA

   Look MAN! I am not suggesting anyone to act on anything I have said. Looking up every bit of research to determine how to act and respond is great. However, this is nothing more than a chat room and I am simply sharing my experience and not writ...

7. IM Atropine dose for peds emergency

   maturner replied to sandman1's topic in CRNA

   Is it better to give a drug to prevent or attenuate a bradycardic response or stand there like Gomer Pyle? PPV is always the first like offense to break a laryngospasm The first line defense is don't muck with the cords during stage II of anestheti...

8. IM Atropine dose for peds emergency

   maturner replied to sandman1's topic in CRNA

   IM Sux/atropine (a.k.a sux/atropine DART) in peds is for the purpose of breaking a laryngospasm in a patient without an IV. Which is frequently the case during mask inductions or short procedures such a PE tubes. The atropine is to off set the brady...

11. Marcaine

    maturner replied to markjrn's topic in CRNA

    If the blocked worked initially then there was no problem with the block or the marcaine. The bolus placed through the catheter did not work; therefore, the catheter was the problem. If the initial marcaine was placed via the catheter and the block...

12. Lidocaine prior to IV start?

    maturner replied to WVUturtle514's topic in CRNA

    Ditto. I initially started missing IVs that would have never missed, without the LA in the way, but with practice and improved technique no worries.

    Look man, I just read it right from the source in Barash. Morgan and Mickhail shows the same thing. Nagelhout is brilliant, has a PhD. in pharmacology, and I have heard it repeatedly right from his mouth. Mike you are clearly very intelligent and h...

14. Marcaine

    maturner replied to markjrn's topic in CRNA

    Did the blocks work at all or did they simply not last beyond the duration of the surgery? Did both blocks have catheters? If so, I would say you had a catheter issue most likely from migration of the catheter away from proximity to the nerve. All o...

15. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    maturner replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in CRNA

    WRONG! PROPOFOL has the most cardiac and respiratory depressant effects of any of the induction agents. Per BARASH, NAGELHOUT, and no doubtedly any other text comparing induction agents. I am not trying to insult you. I am simply pointing out yo...
