    Is it possible to titrate paralytics so that they can still breathe but remain

  2. How rude are surgeons?

    Diprivan/Vented posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't deal too much with them, but it seems like the consensus is that they are pretty much jerks. Most of the medicine residents I've talked to seemed to think so. Does anyone have any

    Anyone got any recommendations?

  5. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This isn't meant to be an official scientific document, so I apologize in advance for the sloppy work. It's been widely known that increased fluid volume can lead to edema. My theory is based upon the...

  6. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Maybe I can give you an idea of an ideal pt that would benefit from this procedure: 52 y/o BM. Trached, size 8. Vent settings SIMV 12 (up from 4 over the past few weeks), TV 650, Fi02 50% (up from 30...

  7. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for the questions. I really appreciate them. I'd like to discuss dialysis on these sorts of pts since many of them are also in acute renal failure. I think that Dopamine 2-5 mcg/kg/min would...

  8. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have seen some pts with +4 edema with sloughing and wet skin, but not to the extent that they were like burn pts. Pts can easily obtain electrolyte imbalances, however. That's why electrolytes...

  9. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not sure of what you mean. Are you saying that causing a mild pulmonary edema will cause pulmonary shunting secondary to pulmonary hypertension? If so, from my understanding, the time for...

  10. Aggressive fluid therapy in Severe Septic Shock and ARDS.

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was hoping you'd reply. What I've noticed in the practice is that pts will start to develop generalized edema. It's only later on, after they've developed edema, that the pulmonary vascular...

  11. lets discuss extubation

    Diprivan/Vented replied to gaspassah's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let me just preface this with the fact that this is all theory. I wouldn't ever do this nor do I have it within my scope of practice to do this. Also, I think I am using the word "paralytic" more...

  12. lets discuss extubation

    Diprivan/Vented replied to gaspassah's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No one likes diprivan? Short life span, fast-acting. I was able to perform conscious sedation on a pt going through dt's using diprivan and ativan so that the urologist could insert a coudet (?)...

  15. Is it possible to titrate paralytics?

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I just thought how wonderful it would be to be able to titrate paralytics at that golden rate in which they couldn't move but could still maintain their airway. Of course, they would be sedated. Just...

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The other day I was doing conscious sedation on a patient with morphine. He was agitated, trying to get out of bed, trying to leave the hospital, but completely confused (didn't know place or date)....

  18. CRNA's in Hawaii

    Diprivan/Vented replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't understand why anyone would want to live in Hawaii. Yeah, it's got nice beaches and it's a nice place to relax, but that's all! And the women there are so-so. When I went to visit there, all...

    Also, why didn't they try to do go in and nasally intubate her, blind. I've seen some anesthesiologists do that, especially with really obese pts. Was it because her INR was so high they didn't want...
