Wellen's Syndrome

In the days before PDA's, I carried certain "high yield" information on index cards.  This document was formatted in Word 2000 to print on 3"x5" index cards (Avery Laser Index Cards #5388).
They contain information on:

• Blood transfusion- when, how much, and risks of PRBC's, platelets, and FFP
• Billing / Charting requirements
• IV fluid, bolus, maintenance, and including the formula for setting up a drip that must run at a certain rate, but without an electronic pump
• Common OB-Gyn complaints/differential diagnosis and treatment
• Pressors
