Thks guys....smiling face

Day 72

CK: Target 100 Questions and start with First Aid

CS: 2 cases a day....

Mnemonic for Day

Treatment of Ac pulmonary Oedema LMNOP

L Lasix....one or two times the usual dose 40mg iv if pt doesn't take the drug

M Morphine sulphate 2-4 mg IV (subcutaneous dose works in mild case) Morphine increases venous capacity, Lowering Lt atrial pressure and anxiety which reduces the efficiency of ventilation

N Nitroglycerine IV 5-10 ug/min Increase by 5 ug/min q 3 to 5 min Reduces the left ventricular preload. May cause hypotension so careful....

O Oxygen 100% Given to obtain PO2 > 60mm Hg

P Position pt sitting up with legs danggling over the side of the bed.This facilitates respiration and reduces the venous return.

Good Lucknod
