As soon as you spike one bag request the next, absolutely!

I’m an ED traveler with 13 yrs under my belt. Your channel has helped me cross the threshold from competent to proficient. Everyone thinks I’m so smart, but really, a steady diet of one of your videos daily while I’m in the shower has made ALL the diff. Highly recommend for ALL specialties. We all deserve to be as smart as the ICU 😘

Here’s an important tip from a retired RN. Make sure that you always have your next bag ready! The worst feeling is waiting for the pharmacy or a fellow nurse to quickly mix up a bag while your patient’s BP is tanking. 😨

Seriously! My sister is a pharmD and she always gave me this tip to request medications early. I had a near panic attack a few days ago because pharmacy was 3 hours late getting my inotrope delivered on top of that it wasn't even made even though it was a scheduled medication >=(. The chamber of the IV line literally had a drop left before the dreaded "air in line" message!!

Hi. I’m a UK ITU Nurse. We never use any catecholamines as a fluid bag, due to the caterpillar effect of all pumps, causing a +/- sine wave effect on the receptors. We use syringe drivers with a total 50 cc fluid volume to drug concentration. This gives a linear drug infusion, thus a stabilised vasoactive effect. Typically we use Noradrenaline ‘ [norepinephrine] in 4mg: 46cc dextrose 5% giving a concentration of 80mcg/ cc, then adjust the concentration to the case’ requirement up to 0.99mcg/kg/min

Really like the chart at the end and look forward to more about where & when to use them.

I'm was a staff neuro RN, now turned travel RN (float pool) during COVID. I have been float pool for stepdown units and most are tele/cardiac PCU. I was never officially trained on drips even though I have been working tele-PCU for a year at several different Westcoast hospitals. They just dont assign me patients on drips because I am a traveler, (hospitals dont train new skills to travelers). Anyway, so now that now COVID has slowed, I am finding many hospitals now expect telemetry/PCU unit travelers to have titrating drip experience. I am self learning in your course. I find it interesting that I sound like the only PCU RN in these "ICU" comments, lol. Thank You ICU Advantage =)

In Belgium nurses typically make their infusions themselves but in syringes of 50 ml. In our hospital our standard dose of norepinephrine is 4mg/40ml in a 50ml syringe in a syringe pump. 0.05mcg/kg/min is about 2 ml/hours... Every drip will be replaced within 24 hours if not empty.
