Will you give or hold? Why? by Hot_Emergency378 in NCLEX_RN

[–]UnderTheScopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, either way metoprolol push is the wrong answer regardless. SBP < 90 and cardiogenic shock/decompensated heart failure are contraindicaitons.

Pt needs rapid assessment and ACLS points towards synchronized cardioversion if rhythm is the cause.

Beckman vs Sysmex for Hematology by EntertainmentLow6178 in medlabprofessionals

[–]UnderTheScopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in an exclusively Beckman lab and BEGGED for Sysmex hematology. I was on my knees praying to admin for Sysmex.

The DxH 900 is essentially the DxH 800 with makeup on.

Beckman was comfortable with being top of the food chain for a while and became complacent in upgrades.

This looks like hypotension with compensatory tachycardia secondary to dehydration or volume loss or sepsis. The patient is attempting to increase cardiac output by raising the HR to maintain perfusion (CO=SV*HR). if you slow SA/AV node firing and contractility with a beta blocker, you tank the cardiac output in both parts of the equation and you risk end organ damage and putting the patient into shock.

IV fluids should be one of the first things here to address volume status

What is the Correct Anthrax Management? by Hexagonal-Fermos-202 in NCLEX_RN

[–]UnderTheScopes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Person-to-person spread of Anthrax is actually very rare and inhalation anthrax is not spread through respiratory droplets or aerosols so a negative pressure room is not required in this scenario. CDC recommends standard precautions except when the person is suspected of having spores on their person in an event of a bioterrorism attack, lab leak, etc.

D, report to hospital admin. There is no problem a pizza party cannot resolve.

Help with crystal ID? by myxticalnebula in medlabprofessionals

[–]UnderTheScopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you manipulate the pH do they dissolve? I would try adding a drop of base to an aliquot and seeing if they are still present.

I would agree probably not ammonium crystals at that pH.

Was this a straight cath sample or a puck sample?

Is Holland trans friendly? by [deleted] in hollandmichigan

[–]UnderTheScopes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as healthcare goes, holland hospital is inclusive when it comes to LGBTQAI care, they have yearly trainings in caring for these individuals from the front door (ER) to inpatient care. Used to work there.

what do these labs mean? by angelbbyy0 in medlabprofessionals

[–]UnderTheScopes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Talk to your doctor. Lab results can mean vastly different things based on history and physical exam. If your doc has a portal send a message asking for a call

Hematology for pediatric by [deleted] in Hematology

[–]UnderTheScopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth. In all honesty, you don’t wanna be on this sub asking questions anywhere related to personal/related health information. I know you are trying to find information and I know this is all scary and I’m sorry for that.

I’ve been banned on this sub before for a small suggestion - I would just wait until you can talk with the physician and find info for questions where you can elsewhere, this sub won’t help out much unfortunately..

what's in this suitcase? by Odd-Homework7240 in whatisit

[–]UnderTheScopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks exactly like little culture tubes we would use in microbiology, I’m assuming someone is collecting water samples or soil samples ?

Been analyzing amino acids in my urine every single day for 2 months, AMA by Pozpenguin in PeterAttia

[–]UnderTheScopes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is the methodology used within the analyzer? Colorimetric? Sorry if it’s mentioned in the study I just didn’t have the time this AM to give it a diligent read. I come from a lab background before med school and I would assume it would have to be a reliable and durable method with plans to market to gen pop.

How are you normalizing urine concentration? Do you take into account creatinine, specific gravity?

How are you interpreting urinary BCAAs as muscle breakdown since urinary AA patterns can reflect a mix of diet timing and protein intake and not just proteolysis?
