One of my intubated patients (dominant-hemisphere meningioma that beld) had been "chugging" really bad on the vent. I'd been suctioning for scant sputum. The nurse giving me shift change repor said the intensivist said his PSV was set at too low a rate. He was in a hurry to go, so I didn't have chance to ask why this helped. Before *his* shift, the previous RN had given him 800 mcg fentanyl, 15 mg Versed, 200 mg of hydralazine, and 60 mg labetalol for high SBP (>180) and high ICP (in the high 20s to low 30s (mmHg)). After the PSV was raised from +6 to +10 (cm H20), the patient's BP was under control and he was settled, needing only 200 mcg fentanyl and 20 mg hydralazine on the shift befor mine, and absolutely nothing on my shift. What is the rationale for increasing the pressure support? Also, what is "autopeeping?" -- his PEEP was raised to +15 to prevent autopeep.

All I know is that Hepatitis virus A only causes acute hepatitis and resolve by itself after some weeks. I never heard that it causes chronic hepatitis. What I know of is that HepB and HepC are the one that can cause chronic hepatitis...Am I wrong?

I just think it would be great if you could just give a swab of DNA to your doctor, and he could analize your whole body with it, and determine what diseases you have, illnesses, etc.

Could this ever be possible in the future as your Well Being physical exam?

Your patient is on a dobutamine drip and it is to run at 40 mcg/kg/min. Your patient weighs 121 lbs. You have 500 mg of dobutamine in 125 cc D5W. How many cc/hour do you set the IV to run at?

My answer rounds to 65cc/hr. My instructor's answer is 33cc/hr. I am confused...Let me see what you think.

Hospital policy, sometimes encouraged by legal precautions, often requires a patient to have an IV (intravenous infusions) to maintain steady levels of a patient's blood pH. For various reasons, a patient may not want one. Should a hospital insist that patients accept IV fluids? Should doctors side with the patient or with hospital policy?

I am 15 years old, and need to know about a natural bowel cleansing idea.

I have a bad stomach/intestines. I have gastritis, inflammation of my colon, erosion, and 'white scarring,'and pain, and no prescribed medicine has treated any of these symptoms. I used to have to get an endo- and colonoscopy monthly to check up on my backed up bowels and etc. Since then, I haven't been able to use any laxative to help clean me out.

There is a gross tasting lemon-like formula available at a pharmacy or store, I think it's liquid magnesium, the doctor made me drink two bottles of it before the procedure, and it made stool liquid until it was gone...but I think I had to take a pill with it, and I don't know where to get the liquid, and if I have to be a certain age. Now I obv. can't get the pill because I don't see the doc. anymore.

Is there any liquid or pill that I can take available to 15 year olds to help cleanse my bowels in the span of 1 to 2 days w/ fasting? (Not a continual med.)
