  1. need help with intraop steriod coverage

    I concur with the Hydrocortisone but I was taught that 200-300 mg/70 KG is given for major surgeries and 25-100 mg for minor/elective surgeries. Has anyone else used this dosing? There are several ways to dose Hydrocortisone but the goal is to provid...

  4. pennies for your thoughts please

    crazylilkelly, First, you didn't get married so that you could neglect yourself and your goals. Now with that being said, I know that you don't want to neglect your husband because I understand why you say that. My husband and I were in grad school a...

  7. Queasy during surgery??? :/

    There are quite a few people that are queasy in the OR for the first couple of surgeries and then they become use to it. A good CRNA always knows what is happening on the other side of the drape so that means you will have to see the surgery. There a...

    PtAdvocate81, I felt the exact same way you did and all you can do now is wait for the results. Try to keep yourself busy, enjoy the free time that you have now if you aren't going to start work right away, and realize that there isn't much you can ...

    nica71 Good luck with your results. I tried the FedEx tracking earlier today and didn't get any results. I don't really harass the FedEx guy, I just watch for the truck everyday

  15. Process for Adults vs. Children

    Since Halothane has been removed from formulary I tend to use Sevo & Nitrous for inhalation induction. If the case is going to be long then I will switch to Iso once the child is alseep. Children seem to wake up smoother but some anesthesia provi...
