What is the maximum dose of furosemide in cardiogenic pulmonary edema which can be given intravenous ?
Will never come
360 mg maximum IV lasix you can give.
is it having a body weight basis ? Like 6 mg / kg ?
No this the maximum amount of lasix you can give ( stat) if the symptoms persist . nothing specific regarding body weight.
Dr Rakesh Nair Sir told , I guess. Go through his note on Acute heart failure management.
I know that , but when I am being violently questioned my decision to give 80 mg lasix iv repeated thrice over 4-6 hrs — I can’t say my senior Marrow is my reference !
Bro depends on clinical condition of the patient , there’s no hard and fast rule about that . Depends on many conditions like bp , persisting SOB. Idk how bad your patient was that time , but one thing I would advise you, try to tolerate as much as you can ! Even if you feel you’re right ! Ask them politely why they are saying this . May be they had a point too ! Best of luck!
