Title: The family member of a patient in adrenal crisis asks why IV cortisone is contin Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 The family member of a patient in adrenal crisis asks why IV cortisone is continued after the initial IV push of Solu-Cortef, which seems to stop the symptoms. The nurse replies that:
1. Solu-Cortef has a very brief therapeutic period and needs a maintenance IV to keep the level up. 2. IV infusions guarantee that Solu-Cortef will be absorbed. 3. longer term IV infusions maintain adequate urine output. 4. IV cortisone supports peripheral perfusion and elevates the blood pressure. This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: The family member of a patient in adrenal crisis asks why IV cortisone is contin Post by: biology101 on Sep 18, 2014 Content hidden
