Mchd Paramedic Podcast

On this episode, we’re lucky have a special guest from Texas Children's Hospital, pediatric sedation and pain management expert, Dr. Corrie Chumpitazi. Nitrous oxide has been in our protocols here at MCHD for some time, but probably doesn’t get the recognition and appreciation that it deserves. We’ll discuss NO history, dosing, indications, contraindications, and side-effects. Listen to learn why we all should be incorporating more Nitrous Oxide into our daily EMS practice. https://www.acep.org/patient-care/map/map-nitrous-oxide-tool/ REFERENCES 1. Ducassé JL et al (2013).
