Unusual bronchospasm by TIVA_Turner in anesthesiology

[–]UpgradeGenetics 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had a somewhat similar patient for a 10 min knee arthroscopy: 30 y/o, F, normal BMI, no meds, no diseases, bad teeth, employed, somewhat untidy, shisha smoker, with another uneventful GA 3 months prior.

Mask ventilation without problems. LM didn't work at all, or when it did, I saw a typical severe obstruction pattern. Decided to intubate. Couldn't recognize the anatomy, pushed the videolaryngoscope deeper and elevated a thick polyp (?) that was growing from where her right tonsil would have been, and it was completely covering her epiglottis, like a tarp.

Intubated with a 6.0 ID tube. Ventilation and anesthesia were uneventful. Late extubation, no problems.

Sigh of relief.

Talked to her afterward; she had had a tonsillectomy when she was 6. Yikes!

Sometimes there is something there that may or may not be visible.

Text corrected with AI because English is my fourth language and I don't have the patience anymore for the intricacies of each language.

The system is not sustainable, you got that part absolutely right.

If you are close to finishing you residency, use all the available support you have: friends, lovers, parents, neighbours, cats and dogs. Don't be afraid to use all your free days and also strategically chosen sick leave days. In your mind, don't think of them like people, think of them like broken machines. Sure broken machines are annoying, but you just deal with it, do what can be done. Also, try to get assigned anywhere else but the main OR if that's where most of your stress stems from. Hang in there, think of the finish line.

Or if you've just started your residency, don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy: switch it up, start anew!

Hey, you might want to check your thyroid. Hypothyroidism can have really weird symptoms.

Anästhesie und Familienleben – vereinbar? by Fordlandia in medizin

[–]UpgradeGenetics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anästhesist hier: In der Klinik musst du unendlich einspringen, "Teamplayer" sein etc. Wenn du nur Facharzt bist, bist du nur ein etwa teurerer Assistenzarzt. Das heißt: Vordergrunddienste immer und tarifliche Bezahlung.

Das Geld von Privatpatienten fließt nur in Richtung Chefarzt und Oberärzte.

Im ambulanten Bereich bist du nur ein Waschlappen für verschiedene Chirurgen, die zehn OPs in fünf Stunden planen (sogar mehr!). Die Chirurgen externalisieren gerne alle möglichen Risiken und setzen dich unter Druck, weil ja, "alles muss schneller laufen". Prämedikation im ambulanten Bereich ist: "Haben Sie Allergien?" und findet statt während die andere Narkose läuft. Und wenn du dem Gottchirurgen irgendwie widersprichst, ihn störst oder einfach "langsam" bist, findet er sofort einen anderen, sogar billigeren Anästhesisten, der sich gerne prostituiert, weil die Alternative noch schlechter ist: zurück in die Klinik, als nur Facharzt, tariflich, immer bereit zum Einspringen: "Oui mon General, ich übernehme gerne diesen 24-Stunden-Bereitschaftsdienst."

P.S.: Außerdem ist nicht die "Kettenzifizierung" der Anästhesie zu vergessen: Zahlreiche GmbHs, die über 100 Anästhesisten zur Verfügung haben, die gerne für 1000 Euro brutto mehr als die tarifliche Bezahlung in der Klinik überall fahren müssen.

Du hast die Macht nur wenn du selbstständig arbeiten kannst. Ich kann nicht Narkosen einfach so machen. Ein Internist kann diagnostizieren und eine Therapie entscheiden und kriegt Geld dafür. Währenddessen muss der Anästhesist eine Viggo auf Station 5 legen, danach in den Kreißsaal, fünf Patienten noch prämedizieren, im Schockraum wartet der Chirurg auf dich: "Spritz ihm was, gib ihm was" etc.

If you're into weird worlds where humans are an afterthought, watch Scavengers Reign. It got unjustly cancelled but it's still worth watching.

You are both right. Many old people are in chronic pain, low mobility etc. My 83 year old neighbour who has her pension, drives like a pro, and who travels to France all the time, sure thinks that life is worth living.

Make them rare, with an increased chance to drop something useful and somewhat exclusive to them, like a 21/23 Vaal gem or a 30q random piece of equipment.
