00:00 Dr. Marcel, Dr. Ahmad, her blood pressure just dropped 20 points, 90 over 60, and still falling.
00:05 Oh, where am I?
00:07 She's disoriented.
00:09 Hypotensive. Must be a septum shock.
00:11 Zola, start a central line and get her on pressers. We'll get her BP back up.
00:15 Get a bag on her, dial up the O2 to 15 liters.
00:18 Melissa, lead a crystalloid and set up an orthodrip.
00:20 On it.
00:21 Adriana, slow deep breaths for me, okay?
00:24 Pressure's still down.
00:26 Let me get that line in.
00:27 Got it.
00:30 [♪♪♪]
00:32 Quiet.
00:33 Go ahead.
00:34 We're in.
00:38 Okay, start the norepi, attend titrate up to a map of 65.
00:41 Norepi's on.
00:42 Okay, cycle the BP cuff.
00:44 Blood pressure's coming back up. 95 over 65, and stats are climbing as well.
00:52 She's stabilizing.
00:53 Good. Let's draw a culture, start her on vanc, and let's get an A-line set up.
00:57 Let's get a blood gas too.
00:58 Hey, just when she's lucid, you were right.
01:01 She's gonna need thrombectomy.
01:03 Here.
01:12 What's this?
01:13 A little light reading our critical care committee just drafted.
01:16 "Revised postoperative muscle relaxant reversal agent protocol."
01:20 I heard getting its somodex pulled was your little crusade.
01:24 Thought you might be eager to learn about its replacement.
01:27 The new recommended reversal agent is Gammaverse.
01:30 Is there a problem?
01:31 No, except it's ten times the cost of somodex,
01:34 which gets pushed onto the patients when their insurance won't cover it.
01:38 There has to be cheaper therapeutic alternative options.
01:42 No, no, no. Not according to the committee.
01:44 So next time you think about sounding the alarm off limited data, think twice.
