Now that X-plane 10 has become a serious contender in the market, as their panels and aircraft/gauge creation, and flying models are great. I was considering going over to that from FSX.

Check your google reference again...perhaps that was an unusual circumstance. Lasix 40mg iv push is a very common dose. I have given doses as high as 160mg, but that is very rare.
Amiodaroneâs half-life is very long (58 days), therefore, you would not need to worry about the medication being pushed in the same way as adenosine. For cardiac arrest, Amiodarone should be pushed quickly and then followed with 20 ml of NS. This can be 15, 30, or 60 sec. The sooner that it is in the system, the sooner it will be able to have its antiarrhythmic effects on the body.
