7. A question for OR nurses

   JJFROG replied to JJFROG's topic in Operating Room

   Thank you for all your input. This was done to the best father in law I could have ever asked for, and I feel his death could have been prevented with a simple CXR ASAP after the attempts for a central line. I am not sure why the central line was...

    What about the bands that you wear around your wrist that trigger an accupressure point. I think they are called "sea-bands".
