What drug could be used to block the parasympathetic nervous system when intubating a child?
Atropine: When the vagus nerve is stimulated, as can occur with hypoxia and laryngoscopy, it excites the parasympathetic nervous system. Atropine is a parasympatholytic, which means that it blocks the parasympathetic nervous system and can help prevent the drop in heart rate with pediatric intubation.

What happens to the vital signs when entering decompensated shock?
Decompensated shock physiologically occurs as the precapillary sphincters that guard the peripheral capillary beds relax secondary to local blood chemistry changes due to shock. The opening of these sphincters allows blood to flow back into the stagnant capillary beds which decreases the available blood volume for core...
