    NurseFirst replied to Talk2much555's topic in General Nursing

  7. TV shows about the ER and Trauma

    NurseFirst replied to new_and_curious's topic in General Nursing

  10. Air Embolism From Iv Tubing

    NurseFirst replied to WILLY WASHOUT's topic in General Nursing

    That makes a certain amount of sense. I've heard the problem is when a bolus of air ends up in the atrium--don't know why, though. I think the inferior vena cava has a larger lumen than that of the...

  22. CPR after rigor mortis

    NurseFirst replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
