  1. Has anyone ever assisted in a roadside emergency?

    rn29306 replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    Hence why you quickly leave after the EMS people show up. I have never been asked my credentials and I think that is directly linked to my quick departure after EMS

  2. Orthopods are sly..

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was in the ortho room today, pretty cool attending with an ortho resident. They are taking out a "something" (can't get too technical you understand) and have the guys arm over his chest from the...

    rn29306 replied to traumaguy8's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Screw the monitor in this case. Do you honestly need a monitor to tell you someone who's head is near your stomach that he or she quit breathing?? Its like watching someone pass out right in front of...

  10. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    rn29306 replied to ellarose's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Would you still hold this opinion if you had a blind child that could have eyesight if donor corneas were available or if your mom/dad/SO had a damaged heart that could be replaced with a donor heart?...

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

    We do indeed have a REAL unit considering we have a burn unit with integrated OR and a plastics residency here. I'm on-call Friday, going to get some answers. Doh! I realized we had caffeine, just...

  15. NGT placement

    rn29306 replied to SHALIMAR's topic in Emergency

    Man did I hate putting down an NGT while in the unit. I've had an esophageal dilitation done without any sedation, just bananna spray down the mouth, so I know how it feels to have something put down....

  17. Anesthetist for all procedures?

    rn29306 replied to kathyann's topic in Gastroenterology

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

    So caffeine enhances seizures and is used with ECT's....How do you get caffeine in a person for ECT and still have a good NPO status considering you are about to induce GA, even if for a brief period?...

  20. Phenergan and HBO treatment..

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

    It was a young patient with vascular surgery. Can't say anymore than that... I think it's kind of crazy to make those rules about patients who have never had a seizure or other neurologic symptoms and...

    I'm probably gonna date myself here, but I remember the coolest thing on the market was Sega and Sonic the Hedgehog actually had a warning for epileptics while the game cued up. And yes I did have the...

  22. Phenergan and HBO treatment..

    rn29306 replied to HyperTension's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

    Sorry for the random thought pouring-out here. I'm procrastinating somehow linking my project on anesthesia to......a nursing theorist. I would rather pull my own teeth out with

  25. Phenergan and HBO treatment..

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

    I think what they are doing is being conservative in their thinking of: 1. HBO treatment CAN result in a seizure, and 2. Phenergan lowers the seizure threshold...
