Message: [QUOTE="HeloMedic1171, post: 103056, member: 82"] ok - don't get offended to how I break this down, cuz' it's gonna be barney-style... but that's about as deep as I know it myself.... it's like when you hear TKO - to keep open.... you're giving or doing what's needed to get the job done to minimum standards, nothing more nothing less - i.e in the case of Volume resuscitation with Hextend, you infuse enough fluid to the desired benchmark, such as semi-normal mentation or returned radial pulses. but then, you stop it. just enough to get what you're looking for, nothing more. with pain meds - take the edge off, or make them comfortable, but not necessarily enough to remove all the pain. you're just trying to make the screaming lessen or lower the heartrate/BP/Breathing rate.
