- Precedex for labor epidurals and spinals - Student Doctor Network . . .
Our group is just starting to toy with the idea of using Precedex for these purposes and I am wondering what the experience has been in other practices doing the same? 5 mcg in spinals and 25 mcg in labor epidurals with 0 2% ropi fentanyl 2 mcg per in the infusion The limited exposure we have
- SSEP MEPs with precedex | Student Doctor Network Forums
I have seen sparse literature, mainly saying precedex does not lower amplitude of signals during monitoring but if anything lowering MEPs only Anyone being told by NM folks not to use this drug during spine cases with neuromonitoring? I feel like the benefit of lower pain scores post op make
- Small dose precedex on induction? | Student Doctor Network Forums
The place I'm currently doing locums at many of the MDs and crnas give a small dose (16-24) of precedex on induction No infusion, for short and long cases I use precedex for infusions for TIVAs, wakeups in drug addicts or people who look like they're going to be bucking broncos I think it's
- Any reason why an ICU pt is on precedex rather than propofol?
A quick google search tells me that precedex doesn't cause respiratory depression or requires the constant attention of propofol and it's good for extubation (but what do I know, I'm just a brownnosing p1) On the other hand, everytime we have a patient on it, I've got to keep on making iv
- Precedex safety for sedation and patent expiration in 2019
This Precedex is ok for a long angio case where you don't need much sedation (0 3-0 5 mcg kg hr) especially knowing that these patients will be hanging in the pacu for a couple hours anyway Main issue at higher infusion rates is prolonged bradycardia hypotension long after sedation and any whiff of analgesia has worn off
- Precedex Bolus- no loading dose. | Page 2 - Student Doctor Network . . .
precedex is terrible for outpatients Precedex is terrible for most applications, except (preventing) delirium and reducing propofol dose There are better drugs (e g ketamine) Healthcare people always tend to forget that better is the enemy of good and K I S S P S Funny I wrote something similar 5 years ago, at the top of this page
- Understanding the differences indications for different sedation gtts . . .
Precedex isn't studied or indicated for long term sedation You may not be able to get someone deep enough when they're paralyzed without adding benzodiazepines You may have a patient with elevated triglycerides and bad ards you need to keep down - or they are really bradycardic or have heart block
- Question about opioid and Precedex dosing in peds
In my experience fentanyl plus generous precedex plus tylenol and a good steroid dose is enough to have them comfortable on emergence Many people go straight to morphine intraop - I just think it slows emergence and isn't per se necessary
- Precedex Bolus- no loading dose. | Student Doctor Network Forums
Precedex eventually wore off, but it took several hours I use it ALL the time Never run infusions (even spine cases) just intermittently bolus Usually will load them up with dexmedetomidine prior to intubation (on the way from preop to or) like 1-2 MCG per kilo Bolus 10-20 mcgs at a time Never ever get hypotension from it
- Small dose precedex on induction? | Page 2 - Student Doctor Network . . .
Precedex has variable effect on different people (as you know from the ICU, some are totally zonked and others are wide awake), so it's definitely not the end-all-be-all It gets the job done for most
