Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

299 - TCCC Analgesia: After the Opioids Left
Q: Why can't I just give ketamine on repeat?
Deep says ketamine's risks increase with dose, including loss of airway reflexes, secretions, laryngospasm, and potentially harmful hemodynamic effects. The patient's condition matters: bleeding, hypoxia, shock, and hypothermia can make a dose act more strongly and last longer, so cautious titration may be appropriate.
299 - TCCC Analgesia: After the Opioids Left
Q: Could you guys provide analgesia to a combat wounded patient using acetaminophen, meloxicam, suzetrigine, ketamine, and esketamine?
Knight and Deep say the listed medications can provide analgesia, with ketamine doing much of the work and acetaminophen plus a COX-2 inhibitor helping with traumatic pain. They consider suzetrigine uncertain for combat trauma because available data comes from elective surgeries and its onset is slow.
When does Nursing Care start?
Q: How long do you wait before you're like, okay, this patient is actually stable?
Kevin says it depends on the patient's condition. In a stable patient, roughly 45 minutes to an hour of monitoring can establish whether vital signs are trending well, urine is being produced, and bleeding or drain output is controlled.
When does Nursing Care start?
Q: When am I supposed to start?
Kevin says nursing care begins after life-saving interventions are complete and the patient has stabilized, when immediate threats are no longer the focus.
-40 Changes MARCH: Arctic TCCC
Q: Have you found that having three, four, five layers of clothing is going to affect tourniquet use?
Have says clothing bulk can make a tourniquet too short and may require a second one. He advises practicing with the gloves and clothing used in the field, and applying the tourniquet over clothing.
