Klone why are you watching the snow......get back to studying. You'll love it here and even the snow is great, if only I wasn't at work at YRMC and could go play.
Can someone give a good explanation of the reasoning behind maintaining or increasing preload in a patient in RVI. I know you shouldn't use nitro or morphine due to the decrease in preload and hypotensive factor in this type of MI. I just don't understand why. If you could tell me any other differences in treatment for this compared to other MIs I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
We use midlines at my hospital. Mainly used for patients with poor access that are expected to stay for a long period of time and require IV meds. The advantage of a midline is, in this hospital anyway, that you are not required to have a doctor's order to insert and it doesn't require a x-ray to check placement but can stay in much longer.
