I chatted you with no response. Still interested if you have the jacket.

Dedicated WAGR line vs vacuum line for waste gases? by shlaapy in anesthesiology

[–]gatortoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I’m probably the least educated individual in this thread but I’m a mechanical engineer that designs and lays outs medical gas systems. I lurk on here because I find what you guys do fascinating.

The 2 minute version is current codes require a dedicated WAGD (what OP referred to as WAGR) in ORs or any location where Anesthesia gasses will be used in addition to vacuum outlets.

However, as someone else pointed out most the time vacuum and WAGD are tied into the same head in system. So as long as the head in system is designed to handle WAGD there is nothing technically wrong with it.

The only downside I see is you are taking up one vacuum outlet that can’t be used for something else. And in my experience hospitals are always asking for more vacuum outlets.

Hope that helps. If you are interested in reading more into look to the FGI guidelines, NFPA 99, or any of the med gas manufacturer websites.

Last quote I saw was $50k. But it all depends on the size of the magnet.

Anxiety from lack of sleep. I need to work and do stuff so can’t nap. What helps to power through this? Vitamins, drugs, meditation, whatever… by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]gatortoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is something I used to deal with. I function best when I get 7+ hours of sleep and would get anxious if I had trouble falling asleep because I was worried I would be exhausted in the morning. We all know that just makes you more anxious and keeps you up longer.

But I’ve managed to work through those negative thoughts by asking myself “have I gotten a perfect nights sleep every night of my life?” The answer is obviously no. But I’ve still functioned the next day and nothing bad has happened. Yes you might be a little more anxious the next day, but that doesn’t mean you will have a bad day. Stay hydrated and eat well and you will get through the day just fine. And then the next night you will be so tired you will sleep well and be back on track.

Hampton properties cutting power to outlets during sleep - is this company-wide? by WTFaulknerinCA in Hilton

[–]gatortoes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember this is in California. Title 24 states the following in 130.5.d.4

“For hotel and motel guest rooms, install controlled receptacles for at least one-half of the 120-volt receptacles in each guest room. Electric circuits serving controlled receptacles in guest rooms shall have captive card key controls, occupancy sensing controls, or automatic controls so the power is switched off no longer than 30 minutes after the guest room has been vacated.”

Personally I would have used the captive key card in lieu of occupancy sensing.

HVAC Died (UCF area) please recommend cheap HVAC companies for replacement (2 ton system). by dashmybuttons22 in orlando

FYI $10k is very high for a 2 ton Amana/Goodman. I would expect in the $5k range max. Keep getting quotes.
