The 1st time I gave adenosine as a nurse
Channel: Sean P Dent
Date: 2017-11-10

It did not go as planned. That "textbook" response that we've all read about.. nope, didn't happen for me.

I also did not follow direction very well. An antiarrhythmic medication produces a very different effect when given through a peripheral IV (oops).

Thankfully I got a second try, and the response was (finally) textbook.

It was a pretty awesome feeling to see that. It's one of the reasons why I love the ICU, the immediate effect of decisions and interventions.

Have you given Adenosine? If so, when was the first time you administered it?

Until next time...
