Study Notes
- Common measurement conversions are necessary for everyday tasks, including converting milligrams to grams, milliliters to liters, and vice versa.
- To convert milligrams to grams, divide the number of milligrams by 1000. For example, 1 mg = 0.001 g.
- Converting milliliters to liters involves dividing the number of milliliters by 1000. For instance, 1 mL = 0.001 L.
- For liters to milliliters conversion, multiply the number of liters by 1000. For example, 0.5 L = 500 mL.
- Amidate is an IV anesthetic used for induction with a typical initial adult dose range of 0.2–0.3 mg/kg, reaching up to 0.6 mg/kg in specific cases.
- Rocuronium is a muscle relaxant with a typical adult dosage range of 0.6–1.2 mg/kg and a loading dose of 1.2 mg/kg for rapid sequence intubation.
- Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, has varying dosages depending on use, with a bolus dose of 0.5–1 mg/kg IV during induction.
- Succinylcholine, another muscle relaxant, has an initial dose of 1.5 mg/kg IV, potentially increasing to 2 mg/kg in certain situations.
