Hey there! So sorry if you missed the caption! It is the "description" section of the video. I pasted it below for you 🙂 Let’s talk about some commonly-used medications in the critical care setting & ICU! 💉Pr0pofol → Used for patients on mechanical ventilation as a sedative. This medication is administered IV & is short-acting. 💉 Vasopressors → examples include norepinephrine (Levophed, or a “levo drip”) dopamine, and phenylephrine 🩸These work to constrict blood vessels to improve blood flow in the case of severe hypotension or shock → norepinephrine is considered a first-line drug of choice & is one you’ll see often 💉Analgesics & Sedatives → examples such as 0pioids and benz0diazepines Provide pain relief and sedation to help reduce discomfort and anxiety 💉Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): → example: pantoprazole (Protonix) These are used to reduce gastric acid production and prevent stress ulcers in critically ill patients 💉 Diuretics → examples include furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, or mannitol, which is an osmotic diuretic and often a drug of choice for increased intracranial pressure. These drugs promotes urine output and elimination of excess fluid in patients with fluid overload, congestive heart failure, or increased intracranial pressure (ICP) Who wants to work in the ICU after nursing school? #icu #nursingschool #nurseinthemaking #criticalcare #nursingnotes #ICUnurses #pharmacology #NCLEXpharm #NCLEXprep #nursesofIG #nurselife #scrublife #RN #BSN NURSING SCHOOL STUDY GUIDES: 🧠 - The Complete Nursing School Bundle - nurseinthemaking.co/nursingsc... - Nursing School Study Guides - nurseinthemaking.co/shop - FREE Guides- nurseinthemaking.co/free - Website - nurseinthemaking.co/shop STAY IN TOUCH💛 Subscribe: ru-vid.com/show-UC_W1...

A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣 My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too! Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable.I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school. Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!
