   Hi all- this is all very interesting & stimulating conversation, clearly over my head as I am an LPN & know very little about anesthesia- I don't pretend to understand this topic well. I am posting simply in hopes that I might remind all invo...

   NurseasPatient replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

   Hi- this is not related to Propofol (was not sure where to post it). I think it is worth posting since so many anesthesia folks seem to be reading in this area. This gives some insight into anesthesia issues, more specifically those issues as they re...

4. Cosmetic Surgery Death after RN (not CRNA) Administered Propofol

   NurseasPatient replied to stevierae's topic in CRNA

   Good grief! There are some real derilects administering this very potent med! I just read some of their posts! I always tried as a nurse to never work out of the scope of my training. Why in the "L" would anyone want to administer something they are ...

5. Cosmetic Surgery Death after RN (not CRNA) Administered Propofol

   NurseasPatient replied to stevierae's topic in CRNA

   First let me say thanks for the info. I am aware that OPEN MRIs are available in some areas. I had traveled 12 hours from my home to see this specialist & to have the tests he ordered in the facility it was ordered in. I would imagine if they ha...

   Thanks everyone for your posts. I don't have much knowledge of anesthetics & their uses- am learning more from all of you & really appreciate all of your expert input. I really don't understand why they would go out to the waiting room &...

   NurseasPatient replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

   Thanks everyone for your replies. I was sedated as I have had trouble with panic in the tube the last few times. This is a new behavior for me that I believe stems from all I have been through medicine wise this past year. Two surgeries on top of mon...

    Hi- new here- not as a nurse- as a patient. I am a IV Cert. LPN & lack just a few classes having my RN. (A little bit stand-offish regarding the whole medical thing as a profession at the moment as this year has been quite nerve racking) - we mak...
