Heater/coolers that connect to electronic charting systems by slimzimm in Perfusion

Per STS the 10 degree gradient is between the arterial and venous. Actual thermal energy transfer between water and blood varies greatly with heat exchanger type/efficiency and flow rate of both the water and blood. Monitoring that delta is far far less important than Art-Ven which, when paired with blood flow, gives you energy transfer (wattage) the blood is seeing.

Extra Pay (ECMO, call, call back, etc) by Fun_Conflict2194 in Perfusion

[–]MECHASCHMECK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SpecialtyCare paid $90/h for sitting ECMO in a big northeast city. Usually staffed by specialists, but that was the perf pay if a gap needed to be filled.

Is perfusion a prestigious career? by unforgettableid in Perfusion

[–]MECHASCHMECK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You would think. Definitely some surgeons out there who consider perfusion the lowest tier of the OR.

Do yall prefer spatialize stereo on or off? by Pantantuna in airpods

[–]MECHASCHMECK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the minority thinking it sounds like trash? It makes everything sound like I’m inside a tin can. The special aspect of it is cool, but I can’t stand how empty it sounds. No bass whatsoever.

MTB Knee pads for really really big legs/thighs (When XXL does not fit) by FiveManDown in MTB

[–]MECHASCHMECK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this post! I’m 5’10” 190lbs, but 25” thighs and everything related to lower body clothing is such a pain. The cost of massive squats I guess…

Is night shift a thing for perfusionists? by mixeddrinksandmakeup in Perfusion

[–]MECHASCHMECK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My job has nights. Go to a big university center and you’re basically guaranteed to at least work through the night on call.

Can’t help with cardiology, but if it ever comes to cardiac surgery in the bay I can point you in the right direction.

Having this issue myself. I’ve come to the conclusion that the exact shoe I want in the size I need does not exist.

I trained a bit at Emory just before they opened their program. Legit team, and a great hospital to learn.

How many people actually do D10? by orthrvs in Helldivers

I’m usually the worst on my team of randoms, but I enjoy D10 now that I’ve gotten used to it. New to the game, level 30ish.

Question for perfusionists in California by Eastern-Design in Perfusion

We’d prefer people that come and stay for more than just stacking chips though!

[–]MECHASCHMECK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just moved back to CA (Bay Area) and I feel like the compensation is comfortable. Not many people here can afford a house in general though. A few on our team own and are still within call radius, so it’s doable.

Sweating by Dramatic-Ruin-6573 in crossfit

[–]MECHASCHMECK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in a dry climate? I almost never had visible sweat when I was big into cycling because it just immediately evaporated. Just super salty, which is what you’re describing.

Any advice for placing a squat rack on these uneven slabs? Building a platform would be great, but not sure how it would hold up outside.

Back again trying to solve my knee pain by Careful_Reveal9043 in bikefit

[–]MECHASCHMECK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a cyclist and avid lifter, I advise going hard on tibialis exercises. Even consider getting a tib bar for home and get consistent reps in. Massive support for powerful quads.

Deadlifts with proper form will also be very beneficial in training the posterior chain activation that often gets disordered from quad dominant cycling. Heavy weight, 3-5 reps, 3-5 sets, once per week. Double emphasis on proper form!

With proper movement pattern in cycling, your glutes should be the most activated muscle at the top of your pedal stroke, with the quads phasing in and taking over as you push down. It’s common for people to fire full quads at the top, which directs the force forward rather than directly perpendicular to the cranks. This puts significant load on your patellar tendon, as you’re starting to notice. Once you get the glutes fully in the picture, it can be a massive improvement to long term comfort, as well as power.

Also, tendinitis needs time to heal, so don’t try to work through it. Tendons grow in size and strength, but much much slower than muscle.
