EASY IMCI


We're able to come up with this kind of stuff during our review because of our desperation to pass the board exam-and it did help us a lot. We call this the one minute formula...
hope this could work for you...


For PEM (Pneumonia, Ear problem, and Mastoiditis), the first line of antibiotic is COTRI 250mg to be given 2x or BID FOR 5 days, second line would be AMOX 250mg TID for 5 days..
For DS (Dysentery and Shigellosis), the first line is still COTRI 250 mg BID for 5 days, second line is NALIDIXIC ACID 250 mg 4x a day for 5 days.

For Cholera, the first line of antibiotic is TETRA, second line is COTRI...
Just remember the triangle and the numbers in it...
2 for Cotri 3 for Amox and 4 for Nalidixic to be given in 5 days...
even a grade 2 student can memorize this, and so are you...
Go RN's...

valsalva maneuver



this is my nephew Josh, trying to concentrate to do the valsalva maneuver with his hand pushing against the wall... my sister started to toilet train him when he was two years old, now that he's already four, he wants to do it all by himself...

CAUTION: for patients with cardiac problems, esp. MI-avoid straining, check Docs order for laxatives,CBR w/o BPS...
