    papapump posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A colleague was approached and berated for giving a reversal after the patient had received Cis. They had 4 twitches back and it was end of the case. I know the metabolism of Cis and it seems to me...

  4. NMBAs with LMAs

    papapump replied to putmetosleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That is a good question. I know they do use NMBA with LMA's in Europe as well- heck I've heard they use LMA's with prone cases over there. I was taught the same thing- don't use relaxants with an LMA....

  7. How would you've prepared differently for school now that you're a SRNA?

    papapump replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

    Thanks for the info Scop. That is kind of what I heard ( and I am in Pittsburgh so their reputation reaches all the way up here). I know my wife and I both love Austin (we went to school there), but I...
