Quick Dosing RE: Succinylcholine RSI Paralytic ID Badge

PREHOSPITAL / EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES QUICK REFERENCE CARD SUCCINYLCHOLINE FOR RSI PARALYTIC On hand = 200mg/10mL Protocol Dose for over 6yo/20kg = 1.5mg/kg* Protocol Dose for under 6yo/20kg = 2mg/kg This product does not supersede nor replace your local protocols. You are responsible for working within the scope of your practice. Always verify calculations are correct and you are using the appropriate card for your local systems on hand concentrations as well as the protocol dosing under your medical directors instruction. Regularly insure your quick reference cards are appropriate for your most up to date protocols. Enlist your partner's calculation comparison and correct dosage drawn for administration confirmation. *Over 6yo/20kg doses have been rounded due to measurement tools available i.e. 25kg pt x 1.5mg/kg = 37.5mg and we can't very well draw up the 1.875mL accurately with the standard syringes EMS carries therefore 37.5mg is rounded to 40mg and we can easily draw up 2mL accurately.
