Mikey wants to… do something? I don’t remember. Mamé wants to travel the world being a role model to kids or something (I don’t totally remember because I was too distracted by the fact that she made reference to the lack of affection she received as a child when her mother was STANDING RIGHT THERE (this is the first in a chain of circumstances in this episode when Mamé’s poor mom has to listen to people talk about what a shitty and absent mother she was (justice for Mamé’s mom))). Nyle wants to make an app that teaches hearing people ASL. Lacey wants to open a dance/fitness studio because she used to be like five pounds overweight. The final four models are about to walk the runway when Tyra pops up and is like “SURPRISE BITCHES! You have to give your powerpoint presentations about what your post-ANTM business goals are now and then we’re going to eliminate two of you!” The presentations are predictably dumb. So it’s a good thing it was a dream, and the finale actually went like this: Now, no offense to Peter, but he didn’t spend a whole season putting up with Tyra’s insanity and Yu Tsai’s histrionic scolding and the presence of wackjobs like Devin, Hadassah and Bello, so it doesn’t seem fair to award him the crown. But who would Daniel choose? Would he succumb to the goofy charms of Lacey? Would he throw some love at a fellow blue-eyed brunette and pick Nyle? Would he go temporarily insane and pick Mikey? Would he recognize that Mamé had clearly had some kind of head injury that led to several episodes of gross flirting with Mikey when she had the gorgeous Justin waiting for her out in the real world and pick her so that she could use the prize money to pay off her medical bills? We waited in suspense until Daniel announced, “America’s Next Top Model is… Peter Dinklage!” Tyra came out and told us that the competition was too tight this season and she couldn’t make up her mind, so instead Daniel Radcliffe would be picking the winner. There were only a few people there for the taping, and I thought to myself “Wow, I guess this is why the show got canceled!” But I was very glad to be there and took a spot front and center. This will allow for faster recovery after the paralytic has been discontinued.A few days ago I had a dream that I was out for a leisurely stroll when I came across an outdoor stage at which in a few short minutes Tyra Banks would be appearing to announce the winner of the very last season of America’s Next Top Model live. Even a slight reduction in core temperature (2–3☌) nearly doubles the duration of action of vecuronium and atracurium.” -Tripathy & Hunterīy monitoring the continuous paralytic using the train of four, we are able to keep the correct dose of paralytic in the patient's circulation. Hypothermia has been reported to prolong recovery from pancuronium, vecuronium and atracurium. Electrolyte and metabolic derangements may potentiate the neuromuscular block (Table 2). The drug is stored in the basement membrane of the neuromuscular junction, which then acts as a reservoir. Over time, peripheral compartments become saturated and clearance of the drug is decreased. “Overdosage and long-term use of NMBDs may result in the accumulation of parent drug or its active metabolites. Why does it matter if a patient receives too much paralytic? Isn't the point for the patient to be paralyzed? In Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs in the Critically Ill , it states that:
FOURFOUR TYPEPAD HOW TO
Again, check your hospital's protocol to see how to titrate your paralytic to the train of four. If they twitch 0/4 times, the patients muscles are too paralyzed (you need to decrease the paralytic). If they twitch 4/4 times, the paralytic needs to be increased because their muscles are still too responsive (AKA need to be more paralyzed). The normal goal for an adequate level of paralyzation of a patient is for the patient to twitch 2/4 times with the train of four. These are just some general guidelines to go by. You would be sure to tell the oncoming nurse, "The patient's baseline is 10 mA for 4/4 twitches with the train of four."Įach hospital has different protocols when titrating paralytics (or leaving them at a continuous rate), so be sure to find your particular protocol and follow it. Did they twitch four times with the four electrical impulses (4/4)? Did they twitch only with two of the impulses (2/4)? The goal is to find the lowest electrical impulse at which the patient twitches four out of four (4/4) times. Look at the patients pinkie finger (if ulnar nerve stimulated) or eyebrow (if facial nerve stimulated) and see how many times they twitched. For the baseline, you want to start with as low of electrical impulse as the machine can give and let it deliver its four shocks. The train of four received its name because the machine delivers four electrical impulses one after the next.
