MNEMO (anaesthesia implications)>METHERGINE "METH"

MNEMO (anaesthesia implications)>METHERGINE "METH"

1.M=MS,HTN/PIH,Heart diseases are C/I
2.Ensure it is given over 1 mins if iv. Ensure breast feeding is delayed for 12h after last dose.

MNEMO[anaesthetic implications]> SARCOIDOSIS: "SARC"
'Sound box(=larynx)' involvement
Affect eyes, cranial nerves, LUNG
Renal impairement
Calcium increased

 

MNEMO> ITP(anaesthesia implications):
"ABCD"
