Order of medications given during RSII

What is are pre- med, sedation, paralytic?

First, any pre-medications (Lidocaine, Atropine) 

Second, induction agent (Versed, Etomidate, Propofol, Ketamine) for sedation.

Last, paralytic (Succinylcholine, Rocuronium, Vecuronium, Pancuronium) for jaw relaxation.

200

Documentation to use in EPIC if giving One-Step Meds to Code STEMI

What is the STEMI Narrator?

200

Positive inotrope used to lower both preload and afterload causing increased cardiac output.

The below patient has a transvenous pacer. this action would be appropriate. 

What is increase the energy or output?

200

The anatomical location where the arterial line transducer should be positioned.

What is the phlebostatic axis or right atrium?

300

Sedation event that occurs just prior to the first dose of sedation.

300

An indication for therapeutic hypothermia

What is ROSC after cardiac arrest?

400

Type of sedation where patient is no longer following directions and airway may be compromised

What is deep sedation or general anesthesia?

400

Type of MI where hypotension and heart blocks can occur (NTG may be contraindicated)

What is an Inferior MI? 

400

Medication used to increase cardiac output by increasing heart rate and diminishing parasympathetic tone

What is epinephrine?

400

This type of shock is suspected in STEMI patient brought into the ED with the following symptoms.

  • Rapid breathing
  • Severe shortness of breath
  • Sudden, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Weak pulse
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Sweating
  • Pale skin
