INR 5.2 read as 2.5

[Ethio22]

A tired 12 hour shift nurse mistakenly read and put in THE record an INR result of 5.2 as 2.5( read at the turned around anticoag machine).

The Doctor gave order to continue same dose and pt, who also was on levonax inj. Ended up bleeding to death/ICU NOW.

Big, but easly can happen mistake everyone can learn from.

..... Ended up bleeding to death/ICU NOW.

The patient either bled to death, or is in the ICU "now". If you use the term "bled to death" it means that they died. So which one is it?

I think this person wants attention with wacky posts. Let me try:

I HAD A PATIENT IN TELE WITH 1920 HEART RATE AND 700/300 BLOOD PRESSURE. PATIENT'S HEAD EXPLODED NOW.
