  1. For physiology studs only..

    London88 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Without looking at any studies the first thing that came to mind is was it cold where you were jogging? cold air that is less than adequately humidified can cause narrowing of the bronchioles. Pretty...

  2. Lidocaine prior to IV start?

    London88 replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  3. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    London88 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was wondering when somebody was getting to let MmcFan know that he is wrong about thiopental having more cardiac depressant effects than propofol. Mmacfan you think you know about these drugs but...

  4. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    London88 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    MmcFan What makes you believe anesthesia providers are not experts at handling crash airways? Who do you think responds to codes in many hospitals. Who do you think intubates the patients in many...

  8. Question on Lidocaine Toxicity via Local

    London88 replied to Joshua21's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Rayman; I hope you rec'd my reply to your pm. You were doing okay until you started with the threats and as you can see I am not good at dealing with threats from others on BB or in person for that...

  9. Question on Lidocaine Toxicity via Local

    London88 replied to Joshua21's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Rayman: I usually do not get too involved in some of the BS on this BB. However maybe if you took the time to read the initial post, the vagueness of it makes it seem as if Joshua is administering the...

  11. Question on Lidocaine Toxicity via Local

    London88 replied to Joshua21's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is bad enough to give a local anesthetic w/out knowing the proper dosing, but I agree with one of the posters above in that as an RN you should know what you are giving and the correct dosing. When...

    London88 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We were doing an off pump CABG yesterday. My attending ologist and I work very well together, so no c/o where he is concerned. Here I am in this room with a SRNA tirating drips back and forth. My...

    London88 replied to London88's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That is why I work out 4-5 times a week and when I see this surgeon next week it will be back to business as usual. I do my case, I then go home! MmacFN hit it right on the nail. I am female, and a...

  15. Methohexital; Histamine Release

    London88 replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I trained at a place that frequently used thiopental for induction. We never gave bendryl or anything else to prevent histamine release. The same goes for morphine used it on a frequent basis and...

  16. Miller vs Mac Contraversey!

    London88 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would think that I was about to intubate a horse if you gave me a miller 4. However I felt the same way when I saw a Mac 5 at my workplace. The blade I use depends on my mood. I go back and forth...

  19. Hollywood movie called "awake"

    London88 replied to crna2bee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    JKW You crack me up. You seem to weigh in heavily when there is any negative debate against CRNAs on SDN such as your comments in reference to CRNAs doing pain management. You then come to the CRNA...

  21. SSEP Monitoring

    London88 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was at a site where we would run close to1% forane and did not have a problem with muscle relaxants unless we were doing MEPs. Even with the MEPs the technician would inform us that it was okay to...

  22. ever miss it?

    London88 replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I do not quite see what the original question has to do with what money a CRNA makes or whether or not a CRNA thinks ICU nursing is beneath them. I did bedside nursing for 13 years before I became a...

  23. How long does it take to get CRNA exam results back

    London88 replied to soliant12's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
