hi kitten79, there's a link in reply #28 by krazykev where you can immediately download the zipped files. i hope this has been some help... :heartbeat:blushkiss:redpinkhe

Hello nurseangel78, the site antidote mentioned is really comprehensive. I've tried researching for just one site where they indicate the colors of the IV bottles, etc. and I was informed that they differ with every maker and that the important thing to do is to clearly check the bottle label. To comply with a recent assignment I called some manufacturers in our area just to ask for IV bottle colors/specifications. I hope someone will reply to your thread about having a standard for IV bottle colors just like the one the have for ET tubes. Anyway, you can add this site to your readings about IV therapy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_therapy :heartbeat:blushkiss:redpinkhe

hello SeekingAnswers, I'm sure someone will come along shortly to give you a more definite answer to your question. On internet search these are the definitions I've gathered: Pseudodecidual hyperplasia PSEUDO -- False or counterfeit; fake. DECIDUA -- Decidua is the term for the uterine lining (endometrium) during a pregnancy. It is formed under the influence of progesterone and serves to support and interact with the gestation. The decidua represents the maternal portion of the placenta. HYPERPLASIA -- An abnormal increase in the number of cells in an organ or a tissue with consequent enlargement. I hope you'll get a more satisfactory answer about the disease itself and if it is cancerous or not very soon.... :heartbeat:blushkiss:redpinkhe
