  5. Dr. EGER and his book/dvd on the pharmacology of inhaled anesthetics.

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

    I think ultane is a very benign drug. That kidney issue raised by CAMP SUPRANE is way overblown. In the clinical setting,I have learned to use what my preceptor wants. Some clinical sites have agent...

  6. Dr. EGER and his book/dvd on the pharmacology of inhaled anesthetics.

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

    I had experiemented in changing my agents. For long cases, I use Iso if it suits the patient. Towards the end, I turn on DES or Ultane. My interest in nitrous is minimal. Some pros use 70% nitrous in...

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

    air replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    just like gaspassah said, if they are awake, take your time, to turn to pop-off valve completely shut, then give them a "sigh" while you extubate. I have done deep extubations only for kids. We had...

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

    I have never heard that argument nicely fitted like that. It makes sense, why a patient for plastic would throw a fit if the pre-op nurse misses on that IV start. But the patient coming in for major...
