>>562628 back again>>562386 is such bad advice it has had me fucking seething for the last hourif someone is in cardiac arrest nitro is one of the WORST things you can give them, because it's a systemic vasodilator and it will dump their bp, fucking them right up the ass. epi is administered during arrests because it is a peripheral vasoconstrictor, but diltaes the vessels leading to the vital organs, shunting blood where it is most needed.
the idea of some one untrained administering insulin to someone is pants-shittingly insane. if someons's loopy, but they have a secure enough airway to give em food, go for it, but NEVER give insulin, for fucks sake. you can live for days extremely hyperglycemic, but if some retard doesn't know how to check a blood glucose, and doesn't know how many units to give dumps a whole insulin syringe into someone while /out/, congratulations on committing murder, because there's no way you can get them somewhere to get enough sugar quickly enough to save their life.
epipen he got right, and fortunately the dosage in those is low enough that even if he was wrong it would just spin you out, but not kill you
