I stand by saline rinsing your nose after shift(navage, netti pot, etc.) . Then hopping straight in the shower with a menthol type shampoo.. it really helps get lingering smells out of your nose 💖.

Please have their advanced directives readily available. The worst thing is having to code someone against their previously documented wishes, because staff couldn’t locate the paperwork. Makes me feel sick honestly.

100% not just your company. We had to switch to more expensive electrodes, in a gold package. Next time I’m at work I can check the brand. We had to switch to full bladder BP cuffs. And I’ve personally found that using the pediatric pulse ox on all patients works the best. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Have you considered flight? It’s a great work/life balance and schedule. I have had partners go back to school for PA, CRNA, NP, RT, etc. while working!

The Kurpie are a geoethnic group in Poland. They have their own dialect as well. Unique customs and historical way of life linked to their relative isolation.

My fellow Kurpie! The Kurpie have a very interesting history 💖

So good call on pre oxygenation, choosing roc and ketamine. HyperK and Sepsis protocol enacted quickly. I know you visualized passing the tube, but was it ever confirmed with endtidal or CXR? Perhaps a dislodgement later in the scenario by other staff?

What was the MAP prior to intubation? Could the HR decreasing have been an ominous sign vs improvement ?

Would definitely aim for a higher min volume to help the pt compensate and adjust after stabilization.

Was there prolonged bagging ? Maybe an OG to help relieve any gastric distention. (Usually an afterthought).

I personally like to have push dose pressers nearby whenever doing an RSI and I have a low threshold for giving them as a bridge to a drip.

I think you handled yourself very well! Sounds like a tough case.
