Hi Amiandjim, Just read your post......and am feeling lots of frustration about this issue at the moment. I work in a large hospital with 20 ORs in the main OR and 8 in the outpatient center. The hospital recently hired some consultants to come in and find ways to save $$$. One of the new "rules" is a 25 min turnover in the main OR and an 18 min turnover in the Outpatient area. People's jobs are being threatened and pay is being docked for not meeting these new requirements. Everyone is panicked and frustrated right now. It feels like the hospital is more focused on numbers and $$$ than it is on the patients themselves. I fear that bad things are going to happen if this type of service continues.....

kathy, thanks for the great link, but i can't seem to locate the care plan bank......what is it listed under?

You might want to contact your Baxter rep (they sell Desflurane & scopolamine). Our regional Baxter rep did the wax molds and mailed us our ear pieces and tubing w/in a few weeks for free!

I would love a copy - Thx for sharing!
