LOL well I've been using google since long before the term "google it" or "googled"..and in fact have been doing internet research since the mid 90s. I don't post on here often because of other resources. I just really wanted to hear from colleagues who might actually have performed a physical assessment and noted the finding. The primary value of this forum for me is in the Colleagues who have first hand experience. Please don't assume that google suffices for all research needs.

I did but the references only USE the term. Sadly, I did not find a definition or description from a quotable source.

Greetings colleagues! Can someone tell me what the finding of "Shotty neck" means in a physical examination? Thanks in advance!! Deborah

When administering Potassium intravenously through a peripheral route, what would be the best choices for vein selection? The worst or contraindicated choices? What type/size of device should be considered/avoided? I'm interested in what might be the generally accepted standards/considerations but am asking because I'm looking at measures to lessen the risk of thrombophlebitis, so any other considerations would be helpful as well. Much appreciation for your thoughtful consideration!
