Dear papawjohn! First excuse my English...I hope it's adequately enough for understand what i sink and wanna say...:chuckle ! Let me explain what "hilbechilbi" means *smile! It's a slang phrase from Switzerland, especially from Canton Bern (Canton is like a state, but much smaller *blinky eye, and Bern is the capital city of Switzerland). So believe me, you can't find it in any vocabulary,exept in a specific Swiss dialect vocabulary. "Hilbechilbi" means enjoy the day and be happy-then Life is simply strong enough! I learnt in the Latin lesson Carpe diem means "use the day" ...why not with fishing, Ceasar really did it . Greetz Pixieelb

I'm skilled (nearly drilled) to attentive check bloodgas analyses after modification of active ventilation. Because Hyperventilating (otherwise Hypoventilating) may activate a vicious circle inside human body. A long during constriction at the wrong place anywhere inside body could be even fatal in refer of outcome as a dilation! Once a competent doc told me:"Essential to say the worst case and biggest challenge is to handle a polytraumatic pt, in associate of a massive lung and brain injury. You have to understand biochemical processes to ensure a proper therapy. Because no brain activity without oxgen and otherwise no lung activity without brain input. It's like unsecured walking on a wire on top of trees.The primary injury in combination of the result of intensive care support influence the outcome. We can only intervene in intensive care support, so let us do it in the best way we're able." Carpe diem or domestic tongue..."Hilbechilbi jede Tag"

Hello All ! I work in 16 bed interdisciplinary ICU. We never change the transducer after ICP-catheter is inserted. There isn't any reason in reference of sterility -unless...critical point... anything is going out of order :rotfl: . Generally you don't have to flush the system. Further more the ICP-catheters "Spiegelberg" & "Codman" description says, you don't have to routinely zero as long as device and monitor display the same value. The devices do it self, among others "Spiegelberg" each hour. We only zero in the beginning or after disconnected (...if the device make troubles *further no comment necessary). greetz
