Covid exposure
So I was called to intubated a patient in the middle of the night, 30 something, obese, found unresponsive, ED tried unsuccessfully, I go down and do intubation while CPR is paused. Nobody in gowns, ED people have N95 with regular mask over it. I totally forgot to wear an N95, must have been in a sleep state because it completely passed my mind.
I had assumed it was an overdose or something, I ask the ED people after I leave they say no, asthma attack. I ask them to test for Covid.
what do...

USUHS and asthma
Hey everyone, I currently interviewed for USUHS and I did my physical examination. I reported I had mild childhood asthma but I still have an inhaler just in case of emergencies. I’m a former collegiate div 1 athlete and I received a DQ for asthma after the age of 13. I’ve had no asthmatic episodes since I was 6 and I was wondering if it’s possible to receive a waiver for a situation like this. I’m also confident in my ability to pass a PFT. What does the waiver process look like? Also my...

1 week to study for NAPLEX help
So the inevitable procrastination bug hit me after school and now there is only a week left for me to study for the NAPLEX.
Finally opened the RxPrep textbook but besides math, HIV, and oncology, what other sections are recommended to study? Should I just start doing practice questions? I feel pretty confident in the key disease states from school like diabetes, CVD, asthma/COPD. But are there a lot of compounding, and other random things on there?
Just wondering what other people did to...

Minimum duration 15 mg iso bupiv with epi
Oral board type case: Knee removal of antibiotic spacer, placement of new implant. Obese, COPD/asthma, MH susceptible, on Coumadin (held) INR 1.2.
Prefer to do spinal MAC, AWARE I COULD do CSE but seems like a pain in her and INR 1.2.
So... a big boy dose of iso bupiv 12-15 mg with epi and narcotic should be VERY likely to last 4 hours, yes? (Haven’t used tetracaine in 20 years) (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Current PharmD student wanting to pursue PhD
A little about myself: I'm a P2 with IHS (this summer's IPPE), compounding pharmacy and retail experience. I have great leadership experience with NCPA and APhA and am highly involved in student organizations.

I think I would...

Will an Asthma Diagnosis Keep me out of MSSP?
I mentioned in my personal statement that I had "childhood asthma." I had a visit with my GP last year and asked them to re-evaluate my diagnosis - she stated that I do not have a current diagnosis of asthma. This is contrary to my pediatrician who had in my record for my whole life that I had asthma.
I have not required an inhaler before/after exercise pretty much ever. I have used one PRN but those times were usually when I was also sick with something like bronchitis.
I ran...

Severe intraoperative bronchospasm
Too many details to discuss, but essentially a known asthmatic had severe bronchospasm on induction, lungs do tight CRNA could hardly ventilate.
By the time I arrived, pt blue, sats 19 and could hardly move air. Albuterol has been attempted to delivered unsuccessfully.
I bolused 10mcg of epi incrementally until it cleared up. Extubated and did fine.
One of my partners then asked why I didn’t give Sux to break the bronchospasm. I had never considered giving Sux unless there...
