A

External laryngeal manipulation- Backward, Upward, and Rightward pressure to facilitate intubation.

43
Q

What is Optimal External Laryngeal Manipulation (OELM) ?

63
Q

What are the main purposes of sedation when intubating?

A

blunt sympathetic surge and provide amnesia

64
Q

What might be a good drug of choice for shock? Why?

A

Ketamine
-gives simultaneous sympathetic surge

65
Q

What are your two main amnestic agents?

A

ketamine and versed

66
Q

How would you make push-dose Epi from a code stick?

A

Code stick: 1mg/10mL (0.1mg/mL) = 100mcg/mL => dilute 1mL Epi with 9mL = 10mcg/mL
10mcg pushes
