Itโ€™s been long said & w/o any definitive sci/biochemical evidence that Ketamine has bronchodilator effects. I havenโ€™t found a paper that explains this or supports Beta 2 properties. I feel the EMCrit Crew has the best theory of chilling Pts out causing them to take slower/deeper breaths.

Whatโ€™s the definition / difference of a slow IV push vs. bolus vs. 250ml solution delivered in under 4 minutes. What are peopleโ€™s definitions of infusion? I bet I get several different definitions and answers.

If you are following silly AHA guidelines & shocking VT w/o a pulse unsyncronized (defibrillation)โ€ฆ YOU ARE WRONG!!! There is no difference in VT with or w/o a pulse. The QRS complexes are still the same and all AEDs are synchronize shocking VT by synchronizing with the R-wave.
