@joshwangmd Might have to increase our stock...

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@Megrezzi @propofolpapi661 These were ICU patients already on 0.3 of norepinephrine though. I have a feeling the original was more for the ED.

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@aheintzman @PharmacyToDose @GilbertPharmD @PCC_PharmD @Miano81 It is approved/available in Canada. CADTH has recommended against its use though.

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@rxtoriarsenault @njipay Do you still give 5 doses for immunocompromised though?

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@joshwangmd Same applies to status epilepticus.

Stop the press! Our latest guideline: when to use dialysis for ethylene glycol poisoning. Perhaps our best paper yet. Hundreds of articles included, thousands of hours of work. https://t.co/FF7MK2UU65

Asked ChatGPT to write me a poem about Emergency Medicine Pharmacists. I think it nailed it.

@PharmD_intheED Absolute numbers (still interesting though):
Mortality 10%
Transfusion 6 vs 4 units
ED time 9 more min
Major complications 2-6% more

@KyleSchuchter https://t.co/8nuMkxutEJ This study comes with limitations but it's interesting.

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@Rachel_EMPharmD I cannot DM you either

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@Rachel_EMPharmD I'm interested as well!

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@SC_PharmD Looks like the administration technique is important to decrease the drug retention in the ETT. In vitro study but still interesting (simulating neonates) https://t.co/aHpUwcJEfs

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@SC_PharmD Would go IO as much as possible. ET absorption is unpredictable and even if the recommandation is to use at least 2-3x the usual dose (in the adult world), serum concentration will not be enough and you might even need to use 10x the dose https://t.co/LuyZVYra6X (dog study)

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@joshwangmd Lots of phlebitis, I wonder if it's because of the rate of administration 50 mg/min (1g in 20 min) which we rarely use

@dpraterems @ChillaPharmD @CircAHA The problem with "low-dose" atropine is that the dose inducing bradycardia is rarely defined in the recommendations. The dose seems to be less than or equal to 0.002 mg/kg equivalent to 0.5 mg for a 250kg patient. https://t.co/iEtS8Z0Y8w

[Eric Villeneuve @ericvpharmd]

@ChillaPharmD @CircAHA I am glad to see that I'm not the only one finding this sketchy.
