I'm so glad!!! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! 😊

Your videos are so helpful, I am a vet, and my CPE exam is next January. Fluid therapy is a big challenge with my dyslexia. I checked the Merck manual, VIN web, the Emergency procedure for small animal veterinarians 3rd edition and so many other sites and books with no success. They made it very complicated. I was devastated until I came across your youtube channel. You made it so easy and clear. Thanks for your time and effort.

Hi buddy did you pass your CPE? I will be taking it in 6 months

Re Lidocain, you explained grams as %.. % = g/100ml Then jumped to 20mg/ml [2000mg/100ml]. Jumped a step there.. But very helpful! Thanks!

Hello, yes I actually explain this in more detail during the percent solutions video; was trying to keep it focused just on the CRI portion :)

Struggled with CRI for sooooo long. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I really appreciate it!

Hello I’m confused on how you turn the 2% of lidocaine into the 20mg/ml

@vet-techbites22

9 ай бұрын

Hello! So whenever we think about percents, remember that %= grams per 100mL (per-CENT, "cent" means 100). So 2%= 2g/100mL, or 2,000mg/100mL. Then simplify like normal and you'll be left with 20mg/mL. An easy cheater way to do it, is to simply move the decimal place 1 spot to the right, so 2%=20mg/mL. I hope that helped, thanks for watching!

Thank you for this very helpful! I was wondering for your ketamine example you did it differently that the lidocaine one and I did the same as your lidocaine one and still got the same answer as you so i wasn't sure if it mattered that i did it differently. I did 15mcgx32.4kg = 486mcg then /1000 = 0.49mgs/min 0.49mgsx60= 29.4mgs/hr 29.4mgs/100mgs= 0.29mls/hr. You however did 486mcg x 60 and got 29160mcg then /1000 and ect... just wondering if it matters which way I do it between the two as well as if there was a reason you did the Lidocaine the way I mentioned and then changed for Ketamine. Thank you :)

Hello! So I will say that there are many ways to math lol. You can do these equations several ways, though I'm not sure if I intended to switch up (video was done a while back), but either way the answer will be the same. Whether you take the mcg/min x 60 to get the mcg/hr then convert to mg/hr, or convert to mg/min and then x 60 you should get the same answer. Sometimes I will convert early if it's a huge number of mcg. To be honest, I have ADHD and likely switched it up without realizing haha. But like I said, either way you'll get the same answer. Occasionally you will have a slightly different decimal number depending on when you convert, but it is rarely significant. If you got the same answer a different way, you're good :). There are MANY ways to math, this is just how I understand it best and how I find most efficient while working in a busy hospital! Being able to adjust the steps (slightly) is just a bonus. Since unit conversions are equal (486mcg =0.486mg), the point in which you convert isn't super important. The important bit to note here is that when we round (0.486 to 0.49) is when variables start to take place that can sometimes, ever so slightly, change our end result. (Like if you round that, and then the next step, etc. The answer will be slightly different than if you only rounded at the end. So I would recommend not rounding anything until the last step to keep things as accurate as possible :). I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!

You can also check your answer by dividing the amount (mg or mcg) of each drug by the total volume of the cri to get the concentration of each and cross reference that with their mg/mcg per hour to see if it matches. At 1mL/hr it'll be the exact same. At 2mL/hr it'll be half, etc. Takes a little more math, but the peace of mind is nice if you're ever questioning :)

But we're not gonna put 2ml fentanyl directly, we need to put it in a solution, so how we calculate it within a solution ?

@vet-techbites22

Жыл бұрын

Hello, so there's not really many contraindications to using straight fentanyl, in fact I have mostly used it without dilution for a majority of my career; so you can definitely give just fentanyl. However, if you need to expand a smaller volume or have a more usable number, please see Part 2 for dilutions! kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4Zo04-AornTZrA.html I hope you enjoy, please let me know if you have questions and I can help out.

@@medguendouz8050 You're welcome! There isn't really a "one size fits all" rate for Fentanyl, it depends on the patient, procedure, and circumstance. In general, for routine Surgical procedures, I have used 3-5mcg/kg/hr, but have had many circumstances that took that to 20-30mcg/kg/hr. But it's on the DVM to make those calls, we aren't able to dictate drug protocols. I recommend joining "Veterinary Anesthesia Nerds" on Facebook, they are absolutely amazing and have tons of anesthetic drug protocol information and rationale!

@@ilariabasile6304 hello! Be careful confusing the dosage with the dose here. Dosage=mg/kg, dose =mg or mcg. I believe you got confused on the units for that problem, we started with MCG and converted to MG, so we divided mcg by 1000 to get mg. If we wanted to go from MG to MCG, we would multiply by 1000. I actually have a video for unit conversions here kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4Ga25agm5nMZrw.html This should help you out! I recommend going back and pausing the video as you go step by step. Remember, we started the math problem with MCG/kg/min, and we are converting that to mg. We only use mg/kg or mcg/kg to find the dose, after that, we don't use /kg :) I hope this helps!
