Plasma is selectively separated from whole blood; the blood cells are returned to the patient without the plasma. Plasma usually replaces itself, or the patient is transfused with albumin.

Prostigmin is also used. Cholinergic crisis is due to overmedication.

66.
Elsevier items and

Priority for nursing management is to maintain adequate respiratory function. Cholinesterase-inhibiting drugs are withheld because they increase respiratory secretions and are usually ineffective for the first few days after the crisis begins.

Elsevier items and

Atropine may be given and repeated, if necessary. Observe for thickened secretions due to the drugs. Improvement is usually rapid after appropriate drugs have been given.

Patient complains of pain at the site of the removed body part, most often shortly after surgery. Pain is intense burning feeling, crushing sensation, or cramping. Some patients feel that the removed body part is in a distorted position.
