  1. Ephedrine for prevention/treatment of PONV?

    i also had stopped posting here for similar reasons to yoga - however - i did want to comment on this particular thread... i like droperidol - mostly because it worked for me when i had PONV - but yoga is absolutely right - i was off for over 24 hour...
  2. 1 year ICU schools

    - you are right - this is obviously no site for those who have an opinion to post... if you read my origional post - it was quite benign and just an observation - not even directed at the OP - i didn't become irritated until this as far as tooting ...

  4. 1 year ICU schools

    it is amazing how many people are asking "how fast can i get in..." instead of what experience will make me the best provider.
  5. Propofol question

    amen, amen and amen.
  6. SRNA with a problem, need some help fast!

    i believe in my post i clearly stated that the program needs evaluated - ...but i stand by my other statements. it has nothing to do w/ dog eat dog or nurse..whatever... there is a reason behind standard and expectations, and if they aren't met - th...
  7. CRNAs and the AANA.. in trouble??

    not only do nurses do plenty of research... but i can't recall a research nursing project being in legal trouble for "padding numbers" but there are quite a few MD research areas that have been in hot water plenty of times... so i will take quality o...
  8. SRNA with a problem, need some help fast!

    many programs have a baseline avg that must be achieved to continue - i think NOT having one is sub-par .. now - if 8 people were kicked out of one program in a year - does that need evaluated - yes... but... if you aren't making the grades- you shou...
  9. CRNAs and the AANA.. in trouble??

    yoga- i look forward to seeing those "bleeps" in the OR and showing them how real anesthesia is done... they sounded like a bunch of 15y/o boys calling names and making statements they obviously have no facts to back them up... i guess they are too l...
  10. Propofol question

    good question- and from your post i am confident it comes from a sincere desire to learn ..there are multiple posts debating this same subject - many RN's feel it is fine for them to use propofol in non-intubated patients as long as an MD is there or...
  11. only 1 year of experience

    that is funny...i read all the same books that the ologists i work with read... hmmm...
  12. Laryngeal mask for neonates?

    yes- they use lma's on neonates - personally anything smaller than a 2, i feel, doesn't do the job - so they buy tubes... but to answer your question - yes - LMA's are used.
  13. CRNAs with previous misdemeanors?

    actually - if the record is sealed or expunged you should be ok... because they ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony - the answer to that is not - and if they looked (and it was sealed or expunged) technically noone should be able to find ...
  14. Halothane induced malignant hyperthermia

    i agree - the mhaus site will be your best option..but halothane like all triggers of MH cause an inappropriate release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum - specifically the ryanodine receptor is believed to be the problem site - good luck.
  15. Anectine/Propofol for LMA insertion

    thta brings me to another question - do you all defasiculate prior to giving sux - why or why not.
