  12. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts posted a topic in Operating Room

    Today in OR where I work a patient was brought in urgently from the ER in need of a bowel resection. After the patient was opened, she coded. After the necessary attempts to revive her the code was...

  13. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    Actually, the investigator that I spoke with was very accommodating but unable to answer my question as to the legalities. Apparently when a patient has dead bowel they are not considered a coroner's...

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    I didn't forget. I have a few more details. I was not actually involved in this incident so the information is coming in an ongoing basis. The specimen that was removed as a part of this bowel...

  16. Difference in atmosphere between OR nurses and Med-Surg nursing?

    BloodNGuts replied to nrsbaby2be's topic in Operating Room

    It doesn't matter if you are a new grad or an old hag RN, if you are new to the OR, you are fresh meat. I had to really harden myself when I was the new kid on the block or I would not still be an OR...

  17. lighting

    BloodNGuts replied to akor's topic in Operating Room

    I've never had a surgeon request that I position the light. They generally prefer to do it themselves so that they get it where they truly want it to be. That seems like a power issue to

  18. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    It's very scary. There is so much going on these days, I'm afraid to be involved in direct patient care

  19. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    All procedures are billed but in a sense it is fraud. The procedure should have been ATTEMPTED colon resection. Since the patient coded and was pronounced before the resection portion of the...

  21. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    No, the surgeon continued to work after the code was called. The patient began coding before the actual resection had occurred. That's why I'm so confused. Even for teaching purposes, it doesn't...

  22. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Morgue

    BloodNGuts replied to BloodNGuts's topic in Operating Room

    I don't think you are understanding the situation. It was the operative patient that coded, she was pronounced during the procedure. The resection had not yet taken place. Once a code is called the...

  23. Depression amoung OR nurses after organ harvesting

    BloodNGuts replied to redding6's topic in Operating Room

    I have done numerous organ harvests and they are a very different animal than any other surgical procedure. I would not say they are depressing but there is a solemness. A person is losing their...
