Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I haven't posted a puzzler in a while, and things seem to be quiet, so maybe this will generate some activity. This one is probably mostly for paramedics and nurses and docs (docs please refrain from posting until the medics and nurseys have had a chance), but all are welcome to try it. Anybody who understands the metric system should be able to figure it out. You have administered three 0.4 mg doses of sublingual NTG to your patient over a 15 minute period. How much Tridil PER MINUTE would you have to have administered for15 minutes to give the same total dose of NTG that you gave in 15 minutes with the sprays. Assume that all of the spray was absorbed.
