Thanks for the input and great reference!

No, no real policy according to the staff I talked to. They use one for vasc. cases, another for people who might be allergic because it is bond differently and the third is the regular hypaque. I'll just have to keep digging. Thanks.

Hi, I have been looking for our OR policy for giving contrast media to our patients with an iodine allergy. We have three choices, all with iodine, just bound differently for less of a reaction or less potential renal impairment. Our xray department does not have any policy either. What is the policy at your facility. Thanks for any input!

A lotof us at our hospital have gone to kimkaps.com for our cloth hats. With the band they seem to come farther down on your forehead and do not slide up like the disposable ones do.

In our hospital it has depended who our manager was. One temp manager made us tear it down if we could not have someone sitting in there watching the field. Now that she has gone, we have gone back to posting the red on hold, do not enter signs.

I was 41 when I started and will be 44 when I graduate in December. Mid twenties seem to be the average age in my class.
