Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Jayni, Here's a list of medicines beginning with K at Medline Plus. One of them is K-Lyte, another is K-Lor and a good many are potassium related. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/drug_Ka.html Robyn > Hi y'all: > > This is ringing a BIG bell, but I can't zero in on it in this OLD brain. > > Treatment included continuous blood glucose monitoring, as well as > electrolyte balancing.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Hey Robyn: I appreciate your taking time to research this - I'm sorry I've been swamped and didn't see either of your messages until just now. This is a very clear dictator, so I don't think I can make your hypothesized sentence work. Although I'd like to go with " K-Lyte, " I'm clear hearing two Rs, one in the middle after the K, and one at the end. I've already sent it with a blank, but if I ever find out anything, I'll be sure to post it. Thanks again for taking so much of your time on my behalf.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I definitely know what you mean about the K-Rider issue here. I have had this many times before and have NEVER been able to find it, definitely sounds like K-Rider. I am wondering if it is like potassium given over time (rider part). I really have no clue and have never been able to document it. Re: K-rider? > > Jayni, > Here's a list of medicines beginning with K at Medline Plus.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I found this reference at http://www.baxter.com/doctors/iv_therapies/education/iv_therapy_CE/potassium/kcl\ error.html: " An order written for an IVR (intravenous rider) of potassium chloride was mistakenly read as IVP (intravenous push) ... " (Okay - not a real good example of competency, but ... ) So, apparently a rider is simply an IV substance " riding " along with another. The above would probably be considered a K rider. Hope this helps. Jen Re: K-rider? > > Jayni, > Here's a list of medicines beginning with K at Medline Plus.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I think we're onto something here. Now, I'm going to put this in a SAFE place and hope my poor old brain remembers next time (1) that we ever had this discussion, and (2) what came out of it!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I tried searches on Google using " k-rider potassium " (without the quotation marks) and " k-riders " (plural) and " potassium " (again, without the quotation marks) and found one hit without the hyphen plural, K riders, and two hits with the hyphen, one singular and one plural, K-rider and K-riders. I would go with the hyphenated. Didn't find anything with righter or righters except as a name K. Righter. ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: To: " Rennie@Work " , " NMTC " <nmtc > Subject: RE: K-rider? Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 09:37:52 -0500 Duh! Thank you for being my brain!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Nice detective work!! ; ) I just love how this whole group/board works together! Now I really remember why we keep referring to " cubicle buddies. " Glad to be a part of this group/brainteasers (feed me). LOL! Wish I had more time to keep up with " everything " going on, but y'all know how that is...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 BTW, at the same site listed below, here's their definition of 'rider': " For the more severe cases, the use of small-volume drug delivery systems (also known as riders, piggybacks or intravenous piggybacks) is common, to infuse larger amounts of potassium chloride in smaller fluid volumes over a shorter time. " Clicking on 'rider' gives the following: " Rider: Intravenous piggyback bag (also called mini-bag, IVPB). " So we now have 3 other things it could be called besides 'rider'. Robyn Re: K-rider? I found this reference at http://www.baxter.com/doctors/iv_therapies/education/iv_therapy_CE/potassium /kclerror.html: " An order written for an IVR (intravenous rider) of potassium chloride was mistakenly read as IVP (intravenous push) ...
