    Do you work with PA lines often? Are they really a thing of the past?

    MunoRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Critical Care

    I use them regularly but only in fresh open-heart patients and mechanical-circulatory-support patients. And even then, not every OHS patient even has one. We don't wedge though, nobody should....

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You article doesn't appear to offer any support for the claim, just points out that it is a claim that's been made. I'm open to whatever rationale you might have as to why it makes sense that it...

    Im happy join in some Cuomo bashing, but the supposed nursing home scandal wasn't based on anything legit. Like every other state has been doing, the NY dept of Health pointed out existing rules...

    Ritttenhouse Trial

    MunoRN replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    As I understand it, you can still claim self -defense but a valid claim of self-defense just changes the type of homicide committed if the reason someone had to defend themself is that they made...

    What is the pathophysiology? SPO2 34%

    MunoRN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The lack of dyspnea would be because hypoxia generally doesn't cause dyspnea, dyspnea is typically driven by hypercapnea. That's one of the more dangerous things about hypoxia with normal CO2 levels,...

    Ritttenhouse Trial

    Ritttenhouse Trial

    MunoRN replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree that each and every shot fired by Rittenhouse is justifiable as self-defense. I could see some criticism of him being a bit quick with the trigger if we were talking about just a single...

    Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    MunoRN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This has been a frequent argument, that more people would get vaccinated if we "consider" their reasoning for not getting vaccinated. As though this section hasn't been non-stop "considering" of...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    MunoRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think it's an issue of not being aware of this sort of anti-vax rhetoric that is misleading or just simply false. The Postal Service for instance falls under the employer mandate, not the...

    ED Nurse To Cath Lab

    MunoRN replied to ely42's topic in General Nursing

    I would strongly second the suggestion that you shadow, and for a full day at least. My view on Cath lab and EP lab is that they can be boring and monotonous, certainly not everyone's view but if...

    Ritttenhouse Trial

    MunoRN replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Rittenhouse was pretty clearly justified each time he pulled the trigger. In each case an aggressor was clearly initiating an attack, and in the midst of an aggressive mob that clearly has the...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's a really long way of saying that you don't actually know specifically what CRT is. To be fair though, it seems most people discussing this don't either. Critical Race Theory is a...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    New York and New Jersey's main case spike came at the very beginning of the pandemic, when nobody was vaccinated, and didn't have more than a year's worth of forewarning about how to avoid these case...

    Nurse murdered patients with air in arterial lines?

    MunoRN replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I didn't think it was possible with how the prosecution in the case was suggesting it had likely occurred; attaching a commonly available syringe (10ml for instance) to an radial art line and pushing...

    Nurse murdered patients with air in arterial lines?

    MunoRN posted a topic in Nursing News

    Either this nurse has bad luck or there's something fishy going on and he really did kill a bunch of people, but the argument made in court makes no sense. Despite that, it worked, he was found...

    Upset Over Patient Who Crashed

    MunoRN replied to raindrop's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    And I've gotten the impression that the AHA-produced curriculum kind of skims over that, they aren't particularly known for being up-front about when it turns out they didn't have something exactly...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's the upside of having the highest covid rates in the country a month ago. If being a "state that encourages freedom" allowed them to have low Covid rates, then wouldn't have also been true that...

    Nurse murdered patients with air in arterial lines?

    MunoRN replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    When I was first trained to critical care, more than a decade ago, it was explained to us that the "double spike" method for removing all the air from the system was out-of-date, but that you would...

    The risk of myocarditis and pericarditis is many times higher from Covid than it is from a Covid vaccine. The number of people for whom their immune system is unlikely to adequately respond to...
