  1. cytochrome P450 & 3A4 Enzymes.

    rn29306 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is one three letter word that sums it up: TTE Titrate To Effect I don't think there is a standardized test for variation. When we do heavy MACs, I will often give a "test dose" of propofol...

    rn29306 replied to Melissa CRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My one of my best friends and Eagle Alumni - yeah that's you Pookie (inside joke, trust me) told me that his test got much easier the last 10 questions or so and he aced it. So much for

  3. Anyone start there nursing career in the OR

    rn29306 replied to joey442000's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That was my point, that the two jobs have different goals and scopes of practice. I ain't hatin' on you guys! hehe. I think our OR RNs inducted me by the school of hard knocks. Glad to see that...

    rn29306 replied to TracyB,RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why you got to bust our chops yoga? That movement is simply natural. It can be observed in many places, such as the mall, in the hallway in the mornings, and during natural sleep. Supposedly when...

  5. Anyone start there nursing career in the OR

    rn29306 replied to joey442000's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We are adults here, at least most of us. So let's debate without name calling or sarcasm. Tell me how OR nurses manage patient care from a hands-on approach like what is done in the ER or ICU....

  6. I Am Back

    rn29306 replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Never seen this at our facility. IO carries a large incidence of infection and is most useful in do or die situations, esp EMS and in the ED. We have excellent pediatrics and they either have a couple...

  7. Circ Arrest

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Got a biggie in the AM, will outline present here after the case, but I am having trouble finding decent info on circ arrest. The content in Nurse Anesthesia and M&M is laughable. Cannot any...

  8. Anyone start there nursing career in the OR

    rn29306 replied to joey442000's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    While all schools are indeed different, none of the schools I applied to (3) would consider OR time. This might ruffle some feathers, but let's be honest here. OR nurses do not manage patients in any...

  9. CRNA or Medical School

    rn29306 replied to jkw_83RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sometimes you have to consider the source. Hope you don't get easily offended, but your physician is talking out of his buttonhole. What is his basis for these statements? Actually, the CRNA...

  10. Circ Arrest

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I went and visited with this patient today. Extubated, doing suprisingly well. All labs were acceptable, H&H were very good. UOP excellent. This case was an extreme in fluid managemet. Imagine an...

  11. Circ Arrest

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have done one before, when I was a junior in my very first heart. I honesly had no idea of what was going on. We ended up not doing circ arrest. But a big case nonetheless. A renal cell CA invaded...

  14. Why havent CRNAs pushed MDAs out yet?

    rn29306 replied to platon20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Anesthesiologist get in their feathers ruffled about this one, but it is on all my department's paperwork. MDA differentiates an anesthesiologist from another MD, suppose say, internal medicine. This...

  16. Clinical Quiz: Bite Blocks

    rn29306 replied to piper77's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I see this happen in the units all the time. People come down with hard oral airways, basically being utilized as bite blocks. I would tend to think that maybe a little sedation would go a long way in...

  19. Malignant Hyperthermia..

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This was brought up. The attending of the resident was standing there when this happened and he replied "I don't want to talk to them". Nice huh? We have two MDs that are all over MH - funny how...

  20. Malignant Hyperthermia..

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If this had been the OR and happened under my care, the presentation would have been much better. I was an emergent consultant in this case, away from the OR. A full set of labs, including myoglobin...

    rn29306 replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One of our anesthesiologist remarked that Swans in units nowadays are simply utilized just so an MD doesn't have to show up in the middle of the night to make a medical assessment treatment /...

    rn29306 replied to SorenDrake's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Go to skyscape.com and find the anesthesia constellation. Lotta money, but the bundle is well worth it. Contact them and shoot them some line about how "all your class" will be buying from them as...
