@Ssj3Sa @DrEmmaNash @doctorcaldwell You can but it is an infusion rather than a push in VT. Just make sure it’s not Torsades..You are probably thinking of VF and cardiac arrest where it is a part of many ALS algorithms as a push dose over seconds to 1 minute, ie “you can’t make them any dead-er”

Advice from the Coda panel on gender equity in healthcare: Make discussions of gender equity front and centre, not in a side room; Encourage trainees to participate, celebrate the successes, and make it intersectional #coda22

[Andrew van Agtmaal @AndrewVanA]

Question for the panel: how can we better design the system to assist in considering end of life and goals of care for patients.
