Being a freshie in clinical years, of course we should grab the basic of taking history and Pphysical examination. BUT it is encouraged to know, it is not a sin to ambil peduli what are the management done on the patients...what are the common drugs prescribed in the ward. What are the indications.
For example, ranitidine and metoclopromide, you can see they are usually given to patients prior to operation. So why???
Ranitidine and metoclopromide are usually given before starting certain procedures or in conditions like reduced level of consciousness to reduce risk of acid aspiration pneumonia. Similarly, in O&G, we used to discuss Mendelson syndrome, siblings of acid aspiration pneumonia. Check that out.
And this evening I had a good discussion with my colleague :
1. Why patients with acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is kept nil by mouth?
So, we figured it out. Because any oral intake will worsen the vomiting, or couldn't be tolerated.
2. How do we choose painkillers? Reliability of pain score?
3.Common analgesics given in ward?
4. What are the painkillers which may mask the disease? Dangerous isn't it?
Answers will be updated later. Need to reconfirm with doctors.
