Thank you, as a junior doctor, these videos are really helpful to recollect.

[kriscousar]

I’ve been interviewing for ICU step down positions and I’m confident I’ll be getting one of the positions. This is helping me refresh on those things I learned last fall during my critical care course.

[MauiXoXo]

Thank you. It's like you can read my mind. I am a VISUAL learner, and I benefit from watching your channel. Thank you for all that you do.😍🏆

[USA__WILL]

Thanks for these uploads. Really helping during the last semester of nursing school. Thanks Mr Watson. Hello from AZ 🌵

[dharkbizkit]

i always read different descriptions about it. some say it puts you into a sleeping state, others say, your still awake and you can still sense anything.

[shoshana]

your voice makes me continue learning!
great video!

[recepteur_de_type_toll]

All of these videos have been super helpful, especially the ones on crit care drugs. Do you think that you could do a video on LVADs and the ACLS management of LVAD patients with loss of consciousness?

[michaelburatovich]

That was a splendid lesson. It seems as though midazolam is used by anesthesiologists to calm anxious patients. My problem with this medication is the hangover when folks wake up. It is as though they're drunk. As if getting over the propofol was terrible enough, they must deal with ataxia and nausea.

[kikomagana]

In the Pyxis at work we have the 5mg/mL vial and it’s so annoying when that’s all we have and they order 1mg 😭

[Maexwellus]

We have got the 5mg/ml concentration in germany we use that for the MAD Atomizer when breaking through seizures. It comes in a 15mg/3ml Ampule

[alanfrank]

Great stuff, Eddie! I’m looking forward to the launch of your website today. Your content is clear and concise. Great work!

[desasantos]

Thank you for teaching me everyday. ⭐️

[Bmarker]

Excellent! You efforts are appreciated

[calvindavis]

Has an EGD Fentanyl/ Midazolam anesthesia. Had a serious bought of amnesia for 24hrs. Talked with the nurses administering medication and their thoughts were my body didn’t metabolize the midazolam as quickly as it should. This medical facility uses Fentanyl/ midazolam instead of profanal.
I understand that profanal has a half life that is half of midazolam. I’ve had several procedures with profanal anesthesia and always recovered quickly without complications.
Is there a benefit of midazolam for a 15min procedure? My liver test have always been good.

[emilybaer]

You should do phenylephrine and vasopressin!

[dmmurray]

I'm in for CEUs. I love ICU advantage

[robertahnen]

Please include ETCo2 monitoring for the sedated patient. Thank you.

6:20 the guy who has been drinking a gallon of vodka daily for the last 5 years and then attempts cold turky by himself then ends up in the icu.

[Thegeed]

One of our pulmonologist hates this medication. Wants us to use it only as a last resort. First resort usually being fent and prop. He said it’s takes forever to get out of the patients system. I was thinking he said kidneys from your vid looks like the liver. Any insight?

[leochen]

We just have a patient yesterday is intubated on versed drip for status epilepticus and we are almost max to 2mg/kg/hr so we almost 100mg per hour and she is still having seizures.the drip was run out so fast in half hour even the max concentration. What else can we do?
