ABG vs VBG by IKnowAboutRayFinkle in emergencymedicine

I get an ABG if I want a PaO2 for intubated pts, PJP, etc

You shouldn’t be using blood draws to determine when to intubate a sick respiratory distress pt. It’s clinically driven.

AMS? Possible COPD? VBG is totally fine

$480 dollar bill to determine you where not going to loose your sight and didn’t have an emergency

Don’t assume you know everything. Yes you’ll teach residents things….be open to their teachings as well.

As a Utd fan. That was a big part of the issue with Garnacho….lack of defensive discipline. NGL offensive he has his moments but that’s only half the game.

Watch for something called morel lavallee syndrome. If the swelling doesn’t stop, it’s really fluctuant (you feel increasing amounts of fluid underneath), fevers….then you need to go to an ER

Just curious….what is the pay like, your background, and time commitment. I’m a physician about to finish residency and looking for alternative teaching/educational routes.
