  1. Out Dated Dantrolene

    yoga crna replied to MelWally's topic in Operating Room

    I don't know of any and would also like some place to donate it. One thing you might do with it, save some for inservice education and have a mock drill. Have the nurses practice mixing it--it is...

  2. Nursing and Yoga

    yoga crna replied to healinghand's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi, As you can see by my screen name, I also practice yoga. It has been a life changer for me--flexibility, strength, relaxation and ability to handle stress. I use it in my anesthesia practice as...

  3. extubating deep

    yoga crna replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What are your objectives with extubating? How good is your recovery staff? You can never go wrong with doing what the patient needs. Full stomachs--extubate awake; patients who were difficult to...

  4. Role of MDA vs CRNA

    yoga crna replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As a profession, we MUST stop using the term "supervision". The perception of "supervision" is in conflict with the reality of independent practice. In my opinion, the only anesthetists who need...

  5. Role of MDA vs CRNA

    yoga crna replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ether, I have a lot of things I would like to say about your topic, but I couldn't say it any better than Loisane. There is one thing that I do need to add for you and everyone on this board....

  6. Murphy's eye

    yoga crna replied to RN-RD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Passin Gas, Thanks for looking it up. It makes me realize how much anesthesia information I have stuffed into this brain for 44 years. There is a lot to know, but it is even better to know where to...

  7. Murphy's eye

    yoga crna replied to RN-RD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, it's a good question. If I remember correctly, it provides another area for ventilation, in case one gets occluded with a mucous plug. I am pulling that out of the deep depth of memory and...

  8. CRNA scope of practice

    yoga crna replied to plimpington's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First of all, you brought up the AANA without mentioning the ASA, so I feel comfortable defending the AANA's position in the discussion. If you want the official opinion of the AANA, please feel free...

  9. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    EMT, Quick, without looking it up, answer the following questions. 1. Name 2 genetic disorders where succinylcholine is absolutely contraindicated. 2. How are those disorders diagnosed? 3. How do...

  10. CRNA scope of practice

    yoga crna replied to plimpington's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you are a little confused about scope of practice and the AANA. Nurse anesthetists have always have a full scope of practice related to the needs of surgical patients and the legal...

  11. 44 Years and still Going Strong

    yoga crna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    March 1, 1960, I started anesthesia school--44 years ago today. In all of that time, there has never been more than 2 weeks in a row that I haven't administered or taught anesthesia. I grew from the...

  12. Potential for Air Embolism (clinical discussion)

    yoga crna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I had an interesting case today that made me think about how much information we have to keep in our head and quickly bring up on a moment's notice. 60 year old female in good health having a facelift...

  13. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    Vee, When did we stop talking about the pharmacology and safe administration of ketamine and start throwing flames? I apologize if I unintentionally offended you, I just have strong feelings about...

  14. Gonzaga said yes!!!

    yoga crna replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Gonzaga is a wonderful program and you won't be sorry going there. I still don't like the MDAs approach in the interview, but do know that some of the brightest CRNAs I have ever met are at Sacred...

  15. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    Yoga was the original flame thrower. I am not throwing flames, just speaking the truth. Personally, I don't care what you do in your ER, but I have a right to express my opinion, which is based on...

  16. Job Prospects - Saturation or Shortage

    yoga crna replied to msummar_smc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you check with AANA, you will find that there are a large number of nurse anesthetists who are within 5-10 years of retirement age. When we retire, there will be lots of openings. If you are...

  17. hey guys (you know those gaswork jobs)

    yoga crna replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You should check with AANA regarding average CRNA income. They do a survey every year with dues statements and have every reason to believe the results are accurate. I don't have the data in front...

  18. 44 Years and still Going Strong

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

    Quigley, If it makes you feel any better, I still don't like to walk cold into an operating room in a new facility. It is hard to find things, the surgeons are uncomfortable with a face they have...

  19. 1st Interview done(Need Cyberhugs)

    yoga crna replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    While I continue not to like the approach the anesthesiologist took in that interview, it made me think of the issue. All of us, prospective CRNAs, students and CRNAs should consider that question or...

  20. Mtsu

    yoga crna replied to JSB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't have any first hand knowledge about the Tenn school, but one of my friends graduated from Loma Linda University(school is now closed) which is a SDA university. She had no problems with the...

  21. I got in!!!

    yoga crna replied to jewelcutt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wonderful. Relax and enjoy your time before you start school. Let us know how you do. Yoga

  22. 1st Interview done(Need Cyberhugs)

    yoga crna replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Kestrel, I would love to know the name of the school. Send me a private message if you wish. Frankly, I am appalled at the tenor of the interview--getting you involved in CRNA/MDA politics. You are...

  23. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    I can't believe ER personnel (includings MDs) are giving propofol to patients with a full stomach. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. I will be pleased to make myself available to plaintiff...

  24. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    The elimination half-life of ketamine is close to 5 hours. It is a LONG LASTING drug.. If you don't believe me, do a Google search (ketamine Half-life). Please tell me how you can administer a...

  25. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    Dipravan (Propofol) is an anesthesia induction agent and should be used only for that, except in the ICU in VERY controlled conditions. Again, read the package insert and see if you meet the...
