Hi,
Going back to ICU as a hospitalist for a week after a long time hiatus from the ICU. Is there a resource for titrating off the drips? All references I have only tell me how to start them, not how to stop them.

All the hospitals I've worked at have a protocol to titrate those drips. The ICU nurses know the common drips by heart (cardizem, propofol, levophed, versed, etc). They are going to be your best resource.

If you must:

Hope that helps!

Tell your nurse to titrate off and then let her titrate. Done.
