AZCEP Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 This is great stuff!! Don't let anyone tell you any different. When it comes to using it for patient management it becomes more and more clear why we need to know this inside and out. Why does shock do the things it does? Oxidative phosphorylation anyone? Why won't the cardiac arrest patient respond to medications that we dump directly into the heart? Similar mechanism. WWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE!! GGGGOOOOOODDDDDD TTTTTIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEESSSSS! Whoa, got a little out of control there :roll: As you were.
JPINFV Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 JPINFV, I thought NAD(+) was reduced to NADH+H (+). Square me away if I am tracking like a pawn shop VCR. Perhaps the author wrote NADH2 because he saw H twice? It sounds like we're saying the same thing. I just left out the proton that was absorbed by the body.
chbare Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 JPINFV, I got you and that makes sense, being that hydrogen becomes an ion once absorbed by the body. AZCEP, I agree I love cellular physiology. Everything we do at a macroscopic level, (IV, meds, Ventilation, Defib, etc) will ultimately cause changes at the cellular level. Take care, chbare.
