Contra-indications to metaraminol

The Inotropes and vasopressors page has been updated with a short (but very important, and quite frankly I can’t believe this was not already covered!) segment on contraindications to metaraminol. Anaesthetists use it a lot because their patients much more commonly have a neurogenic component to their shock than ED patients.

Treatment of SVT

The Supraventricular tachycardia page has been updated with additional information about the relative benefits and limitations of adenosine and verapamil.

Carpal bone fractures

A new page called Carpal bone fractures has been created from the contents of the Distal forearm injuries page to make the titles more accurate and both pages a more reasonable size.
