Episode 270: Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant with Drs. Douglas and Soloniuk
Great episode and very very interesting.
Just one remark: If a patient becomes bradycardic as a result of a high spinal, the medication of choice is dilute epinephrine. Once the cardiac accelerator fibers are blocked, you need a direct agent. A parasympathicolytic may not work to increase the heart rate.
Great point, Marius, thanks!
This was one of the most informative and interesting talks you’ve had in a while. Thx again
