  1. Dopamine...quick question

    Email4KH replied to APNgonnabe's topic in Emergency

    Even if you're hanging a low-concentrate premix of 400mg/250ml (dopamine is completely compatible with NS, dextrose, NS/dextrose combinations, and lactated Ringer's), the flow rate to provide...

  2. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    Email4KH replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    Even a psycho male patient is highly unlikely to accuse a female of any sexual impropriety. That will almost NEVER happen. Crazy females, on the other hand, are much more likely to make such an...

    Email4KH replied to Email4KH's topic in Emergency

  11. Why FAST TRACK is wrong

    Email4KH replied to Email4KH's topic in Emergency
