Episode 119 - Nitrous Oxide in EMS With Dr. Corrie Chumpitazi

Published: Dec. 6, 2021, 11 a.m.

b"In this episode, we\\u2019re lucky to have a special guest from Texas Children's Hospital, pediatric sedation and pain management expert, Dr. Corrie Chumpitazi. Nitrous oxide has been in our protocols here at MCHD for some time, but probably doesn\\u2019t get the recognition and appreciation that it deserves. We\\u2019ll discuss NO history, dosing, indications, contraindications, and side effects. Listen to learn why we all should be incorporating more Nitrous Oxide into our daily EMS practice.\\n\\nhttps://emscimprovement.center/education-and-resources/peak/peak-pediatric-pain/\\n\\nhttps://www.acep.org/patient-care/map/map-nitrous-oxide-tool/\\n\\nREFERENCES\\n1.\\tDucass\\xe9 JL et al (2013).
