ENDOgal

WE don't use Propofol either. We use mostly versed, sublimaze, and occasionally (for 1 doc) demerol.

We usually have the patient return to a supine postion before taking them to the REc. Room. However, if the complain of gas, we move them to a left lateral postion for releif. Howerever, once they return to Same Day Surgery (or Inhouse room) and are more awake getting up & walking tho the restromm usually always ....helps!

Hello. I worked in step down ICU in a Trauma 1 hospital, then to Short Stay surgery (and cross-trained to relieve ENDO). I really liked the Short stay surgery but had a crappy schedule. So i went to ENDO when an opening came up. We start @ 0630 to set up ect. And usually start scoping between 070 to 0800. Normally.......we are done by 1300-1400, and leave. We also have general anesthesia for our ERCP's. The RN only gets the wires ready, the Reno syringes ready ect. The LPN assist. WE do the EGDs & colons. We do not do the Bronch's yet......

Hi, I'm new here. At my hospital we have a crew of 2 staff RN's & 3 staff lpn's. We have 2 other RN & 1 Lpn for back-up if we are on vacation out sick ect. WE average 220 cases per month. We all share call. Therefore the other Rn & I share time. We usually take 2-3 weekdays, and every other weekend. However, I have covered the past 10 days (other RN on Vaction). ANd have only been called in once.
