  1. Doppler during Code

    This sounds like a good way to be certain of a) strong enough compressions b)actual blood flow in the vessel (as opposed to a hemorrhage somewhere)
  2. Doppler during Code

    That sounds like a quote that could be referenced. Do you have one to share?

  5. OB hell...

    I quit reading at the 23 hour line. As far as I know, 16 is the max allowable by federal law for safety's sake. Run, leave, get out now before you lose your license.
  6. Lying to Patients. Is it for the Best?

    Time and experience have helped me explain to my patients what I'm seeing and what I'm doing without scaring the bejezus out of my patients. Explaining while making frequent eye contact and always speaking slowly have really been my best tools.

  12. Maternal assisted cesarean birth

    If your facility doesn't already aim for skin to skin in the OR and have anesthesiology on board with this project you may need to defer. This is a very large culture change and once a mom gets to do it, word will spread and many more will want to d...
  13. C/s incision dressing removal

    Post-op orders say remove on POD#1. If the dressing is stained or needs to come off earlier to rule out a problem, SBAR the provider with the recommendation that it be removed earlier. I generally explain to the patient that it will come off much mo...
  14. POST JUST ONE COMMENT ABOUT TERMINATION OR PERSONAL NEGATIVE POV AND I'LL WHIP THIS POST DOWN. PLEASE -I NEED IDEAS. Politics, politics. Our facility provides free cremation services for pregnant women who deliver babies that die before or after birt...
  15. How's your nursery work?

    Do you have paper charting or an EHR? EHR should be able to spit out a report for the peds. Why can't the MD's do their exams at moms' bedside?
