DBP and pulse pressure are somewhat redundant. I added pulse pressure but they will generally trend in opposite directions provided the MAP is held in a somewhat fixed position around 70mm

I guess the evaluation of congestion is kinda assumed... also I wanted to de-emphasize the whole fluids thing

Why didn't you put in the algorhytm pulse pressure (>40) which was a checkpoint in AS-2?

2) in the rest of the chapter I have not seen a section about fluid tolerance (paired with fluid responsiveness which is present)..is there a reason?

One more time thank you for the IBCC, is a thing of beauty

BP control can be achieved w sympatholysis and sedation + positive pressure ventilation. I don't see the urgency of put in the mix any antihypertensive med before intubation and I think it's a very dangerous move. If BP high after tubing lets add some drugs. But come on...is not an aortic rupture

ED PHEM doc here. I'm using more and more NIV for preox (usually NIV-ST on Hamilton T1). So I'm giving back up breaths on peep during apneic phase. #EMIMCC

4. Probably it s better not to try anything "softer" than intubation. But while preoxygenating I d put him on 10 cmh20 of peep at least

Anyone with similar cases? how did it happen? Just a lack of proper follow up? Some syndromic presentation? It left me kind of unconfortable #EMIMCC is incredibile #FOAMed

It's entirely possible that bronchodilation is due to the anticholinergic and ketamine isn't doing anything.

Regardless, I've used this combination (high dose ketamine + IV scheduled glycopyrrolate) and like the study shows it seems to work well.

Pending further data this seems reasonable.🤷‍♂️
