High-dose nitro has become a hot topic as of late. In the podcast, I'm joined by Chris Meeks, a Flight Paramedic and the host of the Mind Body Medic Podcast. Chris and I sit down and discuss the physiology of left systolic and diastolic ventricular failure and how to approach a patient who is in severe overload due to high systemic vascular resistance. The newest literature is guiding high push dose nitro, with doses of 1-3mg IV push given every couple minutes. Join us for the discussion, and look into physiology and application in the pre-hospital ground and helicopter environments. Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you. Please rate, and review wherever you download the podcast. Thanks for listening!
