are any of you all familiar w/ the fish philosophy?? our ed implemented it about a year ago - it is all about encouraging employees to have fun and laugh at work - w/ studies that prove a happy employee makes happy patients/customers...... for those ...

i also had stopped posting here for similar reasons to yoga - however - i did want to comment on this particular thread... i like droperidol - mostly because it worked for me when i had PONV - but yoga is absolutely right - i was off for over 24 hour...

- you are right - this is obviously no site for those who have an opinion to post... if you read my origional post - it was quite benign and just an observation - not even directed at the OP - i didn't become irritated until this as far as tooting ...

edited out flaming post

it is amazing how many people are asking "how fast can i get in..." instead of what experience will make me the best provider.

amen, amen and amen.

i believe in my post i clearly stated that the program needs evaluated - ...but i stand by my other statements. it has nothing to do w/ dog eat dog or nurse..whatever... there is a reason behind standard and expectations, and if they aren't met - th...

not only do nurses do plenty of research... but i can't recall a research nursing project being in legal trouble for "padding numbers" but there are quite a few MD research areas that have been in hot water plenty of times... so i will take quality o...

many programs have a baseline avg that must be achieved to continue - i think NOT having one is sub-par .. now - if 8 people were kicked out of one program in a year - does that need evaluated - yes... but... if you aren't making the grades- you shou...

yoga- i look forward to seeing those "bleeps" in the OR and showing them how real anesthesia is done... they sounded like a bunch of 15y/o boys calling names and making statements they obviously have no facts to back them up... i guess they are too l...

good question- and from your post i am confident it comes from a sincere desire to learn ..there are multiple posts debating this same subject - many RN's feel it is fine for them to use propofol in non-intubated patients as long as an MD is there or...

that is funny...i read all the same books that the ologists i work with read... hmmm...

yes- they use lma's on neonates - personally anything smaller than a 2, i feel, doesn't do the job - so they buy tubes... but to answer your question - yes - LMA's are used.

actually - if the record is sealed or expunged you should be ok... because they ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony - the answer to that is not - and if they looked (and it was sealed or expunged) technically noone should be able to find ...

i agree - the mhaus site will be your best option..but halothane like all triggers of MH cause an inappropriate release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum - specifically the ryanodine receptor is believed to be the problem site - good luck.

thta brings me to another question - do you all defasiculate prior to giving sux - why or why not.

No - you are right - it isn't an abortion thread - and it isn't a debate on whether you support the death penalty or not - but it seems ok to shout from the rooftops if one doesn't support it. the actual thread related to the the question IF the anes...

sux increases gastric pressure - from what yoga saw- i guess even small doses can do it.

first of all we are talking about an Anesthesia program... as far as i am concerned apples and oranges as far as professional demeanor and hearsay being plausible to exit someone from a program. i do agree w/ zinobile - there are multiple factors in ...

soliant - i see your issue - you (like jwk stated) cannot at this point argue your point.. but i wholeheartedly agree - LMA's are (in this region) utilized when no muscle paralysis is indicated - the gases cause some muscle relaxation and this is suf...

the previous posts are correct - a little propofol or deepening via gases will help IF the patient is truly not paralyzed - but remember a 2/4 TOF is sufficient relaxation for any surgical procedure - i have surgeons all the time say - are there any ...

i agree with brian - the topic tracked off a bit... let's face it - ER and ICU are different beasts..i have done both - and I happen to agree with Mike - ER is more challenging. that is my personal opinion - just as those who debate ICU is more chall...

the places i have been ask if you would perform such a procedure...and then keep it on record - that way they know who and who not to assign to such things.

i was curious - i was under the impression that as APN's/CRNA's we had the ability to prescribe.. how do we go about doing this...i know that if it is a controlled substance you must be DEA registered... not that i really plan on needing to ever use...
