A resident in the class ahead of me inadvertently gave 10mg phenylephrine to an elective C/S pt in preop thinking it was famotidine. She said she felt strange which made he/she realize they had an empty vial of Phenylephrine in their hand. I can't remember the outcome, but her BP when they got to the OR wasn't as high as you would have thought, maybe 220-230 systolic, can't remember the HR. I think baby and mom ended up being ok but that's going to be a long 18 years for my former colleague. That was a very uncomfortable M&M.
