Some idiot EMT from our station administered D50 down an ETT tube years ago. Just a story I hear when I start asking diabetic questions to people I haven't already asked. She was fired pdq.

How fast is lung absorbtion?

Definitly better to go rectal than drown them down the ETT.

Down here in the South, I have never been in a home that doesn't have peanut butter and jam (perserves, whatever) make a samich and have a small glass of milk-it works wonders-K.I.S.S.[/font:e32c1e6784] :roll:

But doesn't it clog the ETT tube? And isn't it hard to administer rectally? Oh you mean when still alert. My bad. :oops:

Please don't scream at us. It is not polite to use all caps, it is equal to screaming. Also punctuation is a need. Please try and post as a professional.

You keep cocaine on your "truck" just for killing your patients? :?

Wouldn't it be less expensive to just smother them or something?

Now here's an interesting concept... if my patient is confused but has a patent airway, and I have to call for glucose but he's got a jug of orange juice in the fridge, is it kosher for me to give him a glass of OJ? I always thought so...

Easier than making them eat some nasty goop or things that taste kinda like tums...
