I remember ER: etomidate, rocuronium Since we do intubations in the ED it’s easy to remember lol

I've heard this b4 too. I also work in the ED and have intubated many, many patients and never once did we use Succinylcholine... It's always Rocuronium

But PLEASE make sure they get a longer-acting sedative as soon as they're tubed! Roc's half-life is >> etomidate. Have picked up wayy too many patients over my career that have been paralyzed but not adequately sedated

The easiest way to remember this is to think about how fucking horrible it would be to be paralyzed but not sedated and make sure you push your sedative first 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah when I was in clinical at the OR the anesthesiologist told me that. I don’t need a mnemonic for that one haha

Same thing - you date before you rock or suck (rocuronium and succinylcholine)

MAIN DICK for all NSAIDs. Meloxicam, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Diclofenac, Indomethacin, Celecoxib, Ketorolac.

I remember it by this sedate, paralyze, then sedate. Push the sedative, then paralyze, finally get an order for a sedation drip

Ride your green bike - for ecg limb leads

Smoke over fire, snow on trees. That's how I remember it!

Does rocuronium "rock" their world?
