The first time I had to hang this gtt was last night on shift and hadn't seen it before, so I looked it up. I watch your videos before each shift to learn something new and get in the right mindset and it's wild that this video popped up. Great videos man, keep up the good work! Cheers

I work on stepdown and my hospital does not admin it on my unit. So I needed education on Esmolol so when I move on different hospital I’m not clueless. Thanks

What is the choice of diluent for creating the 10 mg/ml concentration ? can we use NS for this ? Please someone answer 🙏🏼

Do you titrate up or down to get a lower blood pressure?

[christopherray]

What about contraindictation to use in patients with alpha stimulation e.g. pheo? Would this not potentially lead to hypertensive crisis?

[michaelburatovich]

Eddie - why use esmolol over nebivolol? Is it due to the liquid nature of esmolol so it can be given as an infusion? If that's the case then why not use metoprolol tartrate, which also comes in a liquid form?

I had surgery a few days ago. Looking at my chart I see I was given esmolol, lidocaine pf, and neo-synephrine. Idk what that means or why I was given those meds. 👀 Opinions anyone?

[lobarita]

Thank for the video, Esmolol, a selective b1 antagonist
