Anaesthetic Trivia - Curare
Curare is a compound used for dart poisons by tribes in South America. It is derived from vines such as, Chondrodendron tomentosum and Strychnos toxifera. The first non-depolarising muscle blocking agent, d-Tubocurarine, was identified in 1935 by Harold King. It was found in curare that had been packed in hollow tubes.

... You reminded me that I hadn't put up a paeds drug dosing cheat sheet that Michael Ings put together. It's on now at /downloads/cat_view/51-documents/96-guides.html |

... ALso, for those with iPhones, I'd thoroughly recommend PaedsED. It's really simple, just put in the childs age, and calculates everything you can think of in a very logical layout (eg WETFAG for APLS calculations). I haven't been through it and formally checked the anaesthetic drug doses yet but the APLS calculations are accurate. Michael |
