Rhabdo
Salicylates (late)
Ativan (lorazepam) dose - ANSWER ✔ 1 to 2 mg, Max 4 mg
Blood loss for femur versus humorous - ANSWER ✔ Humerus is 750 mL,
femur is 1500 mL
Drug for a beta blocker overdose - ANSWER ✔ glucagon
Drug for cyclic, antidepressant overdose - ANSWER ✔ Sodium bicarb
Drug for G.I. bleed - ANSWER ✔ Sandosatin( octreotide)
Five rules of ABG interpretation - ANSWER ✔ 1. Evaluate the pH is it
normal?
Two. Evaluate the PCO2. Is it acute or chronic for respiratory disorder?
Three. Evaluate the HCO3 and calculate the anion gap for metabolic
disorder or delta gap. Check if metabolic acidosis is present.
