Corrections

 

on page 5A under point 7 the word ‘inhibitor’ is misspelled.
Hope there will be several new editions of this gem!

 

 

Protocol 03 – Cardiogenic Shock

Second Author should be Nic Thompson

Protocol 22 – Status Epilepticus

Propofol Infusion loading dose should read 1.5-2 mg/kg bolus

Misspelling of levetiracetam

Protocol 49B – Transvenous Pacemaker Insertion

should read:
Transvenous pacing is not usually effective in poisoning-induced bradycardias.

The hypothermic bradycardic patient is generally unresponsive to electrical stimulation (and atropine).

Protocol 5B – Hypertensive Encephalopathy

Eliminate retinal hemorrhage or exudate from Bullet 3

Thyroid Storm

Put in line about checking echo before heavy beta-blockade to make sure no cardiomyopathy

In tabel, PTU should read “500-1000 mcg”, not “100”

Protocol 17 – Trach Disasters

Consider indenting 5-8 under obstruction section

Protocol 46 – Neuroprotective Intubation

Item #1 link to 48 should be link to 43

Item #9: Propofol starting dose reads 15 mcg/min., should read 15 mcg/kg/min

Item#9:Link to 46 should be link to 47

Protocol 23-ICH

Item # 1: Reference Protocol​ 46-Neuroprotective Intubation

Status Epilepticus

Change Keppra to new dosing

Thumb Tabs

​And at last I’d like to make a recommendation: Consider making the register fitting to the corresponding protocols. As the first Section overview page has 20 thumb-register fields, but the following protocols only add up to 18 leads to a width-discrepancy in the thumb-register. Putting my thumb on the register for protocol 17, and fanning through the book until I see a white field beneath my thumb makes me stop at protocol 15. You might want to consider adapting the size of the thumb-register fields in the protocols to match the size in the index in order to further “fool-proof” this book and to eliminate the potential for error.

from Peter Seiler from Germany

Hemoptysis

Change CTA to CTA with delayed phase

Add intubation with DuCanto

PAGE 56 ON THYROTOXICOSIS

PTU load 500-100 mg.  Di you mean 500-1000 mg?

 

PAGE 95. Transvenous pacing.

In the sentence: “…not usually effective IN poisoning bradycardia.

Cardiac Enzymes

I would replace ‘cardiac enzymes’ with ‘cardiac biomarkers’.  This occurs several times in the manual.
