I use every positioning side possible I’ll use a bendy bumper underneath of their bottom, I’ll use froggys behind their head if their archy, and support it with a towel. A nice swaddle ( I know it’s developmentally inappropriate) but it keeps them intubated and I never had an extubation yet ? position of the ETT is critical

I've had this issue running dextrose with high Concentration. Consider running it with heparin or placing a peripheral IV

It's not the post that upsets me it's the responses. Very hard to think that people, NURSES can say things like this to a person who IS a minority. " Your only a minority if you feel that way".

So when you think about the pathophysiology if COPD, you know how fast it is that they crash and burn. If it were me( which it was at one point) for sats in the 50's we need to oxygenate in the setting of unresposiveness I would've went straight to a NRB. I'm sure the patient needs to be Intubated and I'm curious if the co2 in the ABG, but after that I would've called a RRT.
