  1. What would you consider a sharps injury

    T-Wave posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi All, I am looking for some feedback. When is a sharps injury not a sharps injury? I am about to get into it with an provider over semantics. Just because it doesn't involve a needle,...

  2. COVID-19 "Tylenol Test" T /F?

    T-Wave posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    So the world had turned topsy-turvy with COVID-19. My wife and kids are both home because everything has shut down. They have been social distancing, as it were, for about two weeks. The only...

  3. Basic Seizure Care

    T-Wave posted a topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Looking for information and possibly articles on basic, universal seizure care. I need to brush up on latest info. We had a patient go into her second seizure while in our out-patient clinic. All I...

  4. COVID-19 "Tylenol Test" T /F?

    T-Wave replied to T-Wave's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hi Wuzzie, Thanks for clarifying about the low grade temp./ fever. It is this kind of disinformation that we *don't* need. Yes I am sure it was a nurse. I actually got alot of blow-back from her....

    T-Wave replied to wintertest's topic in Disaster Preparation

  6. Basic Seizure Care

    T-Wave replied to T-Wave's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Thank you for your replies. I appreciate the information. 2019 was a pretty rough year. Everyone of my three kids had a similar level (but medically different) problem. 2020 looked to be so...

    So when you say "angio" what does that mean? A specific product or is it a category? Thanks!

  9. Why would this be used vs. usual?

    T-Wave replied to T-Wave's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    We use a 25G x 3/4" BD Vacutainer push button blood collection set when we do a regular fluorescein angiography. Why not use a closed catheter for that as well?

  11. Why would this be used vs. usual?

    T-Wave replied to T-Wave's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Thank you for your replies! I totally agree about the needle part. That cover that is supposed to slide down seems a bit hinky. I looked at the Nexivas. They do seem to be a much better design. I...
