Sux and hyperK
Thought I would post this case from ICU today for discussion.

Bad Volunteer Experiences?
I'm saying this because,
I've been volunteering in the patient care program at a unit in a hospital. I've been made fun of several times by the nurses, respiratory therapists, and physical therapists there and I always hear them make sly remarks towards me, I even had two nurses laugh at me and I heard it and turned around and they stopped.
I am a volunteer so there is not a lot I am trained to do but I try to keep busy and always ask if the nurses or unit clerks need help. One of the...

How far do you go young febrile tachy pt?
This is always a preplexing subject and one I've done the whole gamut (h&p then street vs full body imaging and set of labs).
Let's say, a 38 yo M comes in with fevers (tmax 102), generalized bodyaches, no respiratory symptoms, no urinary symptoms, no rashes. Denies drugs,alcohol, no daily meds. No exam findings.
VS HR 130, BP 120/80, 98% RA.
This is a relatively rare ED presentation but I see similar every couple months
Options
1. Looks good must be viral, dc home without workup with...

Would the use of Precedex expand the group of non-anesthesiologist from administered deep sedataion?
The profile of precedex is such that respiratory drive is preserved unlike propofol, fentanyl, ketamine, and midazolam. Yet it still provides sedation, hypnosis, and analgesia.
Would it be fair to speculate that a more generalized use of precedex and the expiration of its patent in 2019 (current cost is $40/vial) driving its cost down will possibly make it dummy proof to the extent that providers like periodontist could safely administer deep sedation in their office?
