easy way to remember drips...

Published

I was just wondering of any of you long timers had any memory tricks or ways to help remember which drips do what and/or what doses to start at...whether they are in mcg/kg/min or mcg/min etc.

Or does it all just come with practice? Once I look the drips up, I have no trouble understanding what they do...just looking for a way to not feel like I'm fumbling for the action of each drug..

Also, are there any good resource sites out there? I've done the PACEP site...and I think ICUFAQ.com/org is down.....

TIA!
