I swear we learned in school that when Mucomyst is adminstered to have suction on standby.
Well, a patient was given it, started coughing profusely, blocked his airway with phlegm or whatever, fell off the bed, hit his head, lost consciousness, and fractured a rib.
I questioned staff about why wasn't suction on standby. All said no, never heard of that practice. Anybody have an opinion here?
