  1. Travel time to and from school???

    WolfpackRed replied to j03113's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  2. Pimp Thread?

    WolfpackRed replied to wtbcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take 110ml out of 250mL bag and discard then add 2x fentantyl vials (10mL) and 100mL of the 0.5% ropivicaine. That should give a final concentration of 0.2% ropivicaine and 2mcg/mL fentanyl in a...

  6. So many questions about CRNA

    WolfpackRed replied to golf_nurse2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    you need a better reference than eHow to differentiate, consider the AANA or ASA sites. both types of anesthesia providers are educated and trained to provide all aspects of anesthesia care; however...

    Oops CBF drops 5-7% for every 1 degree C, CMRO2 is ~105

  8. Pimp Thread?

    1. compound A is formed when sevoflurane reacts with dessicated absorbant. a. soda lime and barium hydroxide are the most likely to produce compound A, while calcium hydroxide (Amsorb) would be the...

  9. Ketamine during an emergent intubation

    WolfpackRed replied to BelgianRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    just a caution with succinylcholine - specifically in this pt scenario (I am assuming that the pt was primarily bed bound/rest p delivery, extubation and in the 48hr between reintubation) that there...

  10. low undergrad gpa?

    WolfpackRed replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  13. Ketamine during an emergent intubation

    WolfpackRed replied to BelgianRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    It easy to "arm-chair QB" this situation, but these are my thoughts: Based on the info presented, I think that propofol (PPF) would be the best agent to use for RSI, post-partum pts are a little...

  14. Uncc/cmc crna interview

    WolfpackRed replied to and1ccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have been a NC resident prior to starting school; however ~40% of the class came from outside of NC and I dont recall any specifics from them. Check UNCC's website to see what criteria are needed...

  15. Self extubation

    WolfpackRed replied to Jdalt10's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    an attending I used to work with would tell me - "the #1 sign a patient is ready to be extubated is when they do it themselves." I would ask what sedation scale you are using, what level of sedation...

  16. Fluid bolus with BP 140s/100s?

    WolfpackRed replied to mochamonster's topic in MICU, SICU

    just a thought - if the BP was in the 140s/100s, the high diastolic could imply two things. first, the pt could be chronic hypertensive, thus a SBP in the 140s may appear "normal", but may be low for...

  17. Pimp Thread?

    WolfpackRed replied to wtbcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    saphenous from femoral, all others from the sciatic; the PONV 10mg propofol can act as an antiemetic, I need a lifeline for anything

  19. Uncc/cmc crna interview

    WolfpackRed replied to and1ccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have enjoyed the program with its many strengths (no anesthesia residents in an urban, academic level 1 trauma center) and weaknesses (regional rotations have suffered recently, but the program...

  20. Uncc/cmc crna interview

    WolfpackRed replied to and1ccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am a current student @ UNCC/CMC. the interview is panel style with ~6 panel members. each interview is allotted ~30 minutes with a mix of clinical and "get-to-know-you"

  21. CRNA/only require RN/any Bachelor's degree

    WolfpackRed replied to calsab's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    a high majority of anesthesia programs will require a BSN. the AANA states that other appropriate bachelor's degrees may be considered in stead of the BSN, and I would imagine that would mean...

  22. Albumin Reaction

    WolfpackRed replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    umm yeah, i would call if I were you; for bonus points suggest etacrynic acid - another loop diuretic that can be safely used in pts with sulfa

  23. Albumin Reaction

    WolfpackRed replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    just a thought - if the patient had an unrecognized allergy to sulfa, lasix could be the culprit. otherwise, "albumin" usually comes from animals (cows if i remember) and the pt could have an...

  24. Giving meds crushed in applesauce

    WolfpackRed replied to anastasia158's topic in General Nursing

    some would tell you to give each med separately in applesauce or via NGT/OGT/PEG because if that med were spit out lost ow whatever than you as the nurse would have an idea which med it was. if you...
