Anyone ever use a Sux gtts? Used it for the first time yesterday for a rigid bronch. Couple questions?
1. What dose and what duration can you use it for before you get a phase 2 block? I've heard 6-10mg/kg (wide range) and if used for duration of 30 min or longer.
2. Considering #1, what is the maximal dose you will use? My attending would not use more than 4mg/kg
3. What is the down side to a phase 2 block? Can it be reversed? According to Barash, it can
