I'm so glad!! You are most welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful!

I’m in a distance learning vet tech program right now and have been struggling with CRIs. Your videos really help break it down in a way I can understand. I was pausing the video to work out the problem and then would unpause to see if I got it right and I did! Thank you so much!

I love to hear these kind of things!! I'm glad you found it helpful :) keep up the great work!

I've watched so many CRI videos but yours by far has been the easiest for me to understand. Thank you!

Thank you so much :) this makes it so much easier to understand, just need to know why with Lidocaine and Ketamine do we use X per minute and not divided by like we do per hour formula please. Like why Xs per minute 60seconds instead of divide by like we do for Fentanyl. I know this video is 3 years old already so will be very surprised if you can answer but massively appreciate if you could, I'm in final year of veterinary nursing school and need to understand the formula properly.

Hello! I try to answer when I can haha :D. So for some medications, that is just typically how they are dosed out. If you look up Lidocaine, Fentanyl, and Ketamine in Plumb's drug handbook, or another source that gives dosages for injectable drugs, you will usually see them dosed out like this; so I just tried to emulate that, as it mirrored what I encountered in a clinical setting over many years. However, if you wanted to simplify it to hours beforehand, you technically can. For instance: If a lidocaine CRI (20mg/mL) for a 5kg patient was dosed at 20mcg/kg/min, you could multiply that 20mcg/kg/min x 60min =1,200mcg/hr, which is the same as 1.2mg = 1.2mg/kg/hr, and then do your math like that afterwards. Both =6mg/hr. However, when you get into more obscure numbers that have several numbers after a decimal point, you can run in to some pretty big rounding variations. So I believe this is why some medications are dosed out like that if they have a tight margin of safety, or are extremely potent (only a small amount is needed to produce a drastic effect) like ketamine. Fentanyl, though highly potent and heavy, is rapidly eliminated and reversible, which makes it way more safe and have a wider margin of error. I usually recommend going with whatever dosage is given to you, and then just math it from there, it's not super important whether its mcg/kg/min vs mg/kg/hr vs etc. Just take the dosage in front of you and go with it :) I hope this helped, good luck in your final year!!! Feel free to check out my other videos in case they may be helpful too!

ONE QUESTION, DO THE THREE DRUGS GO TOGETHER IN ONE SYRINGE? AND IN SUCH SYRINGE I ADD THE 1.014 ML OF THE DILUYENT ? Greetings

Hello! Typically yes, you can combine most CRI drugs, however you should consult a Plumb's to ensure there are no drug interactions. But as for FLK, it is very safe to combine :). Thanks for watching and for the comment!
