What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia?
Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not Ringer's)
Nasopharyngeal airway
When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricated and passed through the nose into nasal cavity.
Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on awake pts.
,Oropharyngeal airway

trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May or May not be cuffed.
Combitube
Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
Pts predisposed to bronchospasm
Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
Bronchospasm
Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi and bronchioles in lungs causing restriction
of air flow of air to and from lungs.

.2mg
Liver
Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and storage of vitamin A, E, D, K, and B12.
Causes of seizures
Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor, meningitis, previous stroke and hypo-
hyperglycemia.
Medications to treat seizures

Main function of kidneys
Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's main source of filtration and excrete metabolic
end products and toxins.
Islets of langerhans
