I thought this video would Succs, but it was great.

Really like your videos, especially this RSI series - I recommend it to all residents rotating through the ICU - I think it's important to clarify that ESRD in and of itself is not a reason to avoid succinylcholine - if you know the patient's potassium level is normal, renal disease should not prevent one from using it - additionally, succinylcholine is supported by Cochrane as the paralytic of choice in RSI - that said, it is accurate that emergency medicine providers tend to prefer rocuronium

They both do the trick, especially when the patient is severely agitated after an OD and needs to be intubated. ROCK is the bomb and SUCKS..

That stuff actually works too well for my particular condition! I have a genetically caused deficiency of the enzyme that metabolizes it. It takes much longer to wear off.

Succ is best when you have diffucult intubation because of short return to spontaneous breathing when things go south

Did I miss the part where you talk about the patient being previously elasticized or at least deeply sedated or is that just assumed. I know you’re not paralyzing a patient who is alert and aware.

Sir if there is given in IM then what happend

[SigmundFreud]

So now people spazzing out in the Emergency room department or causing chaos than,
They aren’t shooting them up anymore with
Thorazine?
They are shooting them up with
Succinylcholine instead?
The Mad Malicious Medical Mafia
A.K.A. Sicknurses
Here is a pharmaceutical industry and hospital fun fact-
The pharmaceutical companies create customers and not cures.
The hospitals do not profit off of healthy patients.
