100
We will accept any answer except for Ofirmev
This is a drip commonly used in the ICU
100
What is yellow

VIDEO DAILY DOUBLE

This is the name of this procedure
200
What is othing/observation
Treatment of first degree atrioventricular block consists of this
200
What is overfeeding syndrome
This results in a respiratory quotient greater than 1.0
200
What is dexmetomidine
This selective alpha-2 agonist produces mild sedation and analgesia without causing respiratory depression
200
What is sitting on the beach watching surfers
Jeremy Swan conceived of the notion of a balloon-guided right heart catheterization while doing this
200
What is dronabinol
This synthetic drug, whose slang name is in the category title, has some limited effectiveness as an appetite stimulant
300
What is atrial fibrillation
Ectopic pacemaker tissue in the pulmonary veins can lead to this arrhythmia
300
What is ARDS
This respiratory complication requires a proximate cause within 1 week, radiographic evidence, and PaO2/FiO2 ration of less than 200
300
What is milrinone
This inotrope does not increase myocardial oxygen consumpton, but requires a loading dose to be given over 3 hours
300
What is septic shock
You knew this was coming. Cardiac index 1.8, PAD 10, PCWP not done, SvO2 50, SVR 499 Dynes/Cm3/Cm2. Your diagnosis is this
300
What is place a magnet over the defibrillator
Your patient has a transverse gunshot wound (high caliber) to the liver and is in stage IV (impending stage V) shock. CXR shows a pacemaker/defibrillator. Management of this finding should be
400
What is 5 Joules
Internal defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation typically begins with this energy level
400
What is propofol infusion syndrome
This sedation-associated complication is characterized by metabolic acidosis, cardiac failure, renal failure, and myoglobinuria
400
What is amiodarone
This Class III anti arrhythmic should not be given if the QTc is greater than 455 milliseconds
400
What is pulmonary artery rupture
Your patient experiences massive hemoptysis after you float a pulmonary artery catheter. The most likely diagnosis is this
500
What is magnesium
Initial treatment for this arrhythmia (patient is pulseless) consists of this (using ACLS guidelines)
500
What are prone ventilation or ECMO
You might consider one of these two therapies and last-ditch management for ARDS
500
What are amyl nitrite (and sodium nitrite,) sodium thiosulfate, and hydroxocobalamin
These are the three components of the current kit used to treat nitroprusside toxicity (Cyanokit)
500
Who is Werner Forssman (in 1928)
This doctor performed the first right heart catheterization (on himself)
500
What is massive arterial air embolism
After a gunshot wound to the left chest, your patient is meta-stable, but has a massive hemothorax. You place a chest tube, and the patient seizes. This is the diagnosis
