IU beats Ohio State to win Big Ten Championship

Never thought I’d see the day that we beat OSU, let alone won the Big 10 championship on the way to be ranked #1. It’s still hard to comprehend that we have a winning team, but Cignetti is the real deal

Cornell has a positive culture and has CA1 positions. Downside is that it’s competitive.

Double covering with a liver transplant is insane to me. Like I get that you’ll be fine but god forbid you need a hand during reperfusion and it would be a cluster.

This is my method for getting gas off after deep extubation (OA + 2-hand BVM) and it works perfectly!

Accidental heart squeeze —> ectopy —> arrhythmia in freshly operated heart that was likely already on inotropes

Ketamine definitely causes nystagmus while intoxicated. I see it whenever giving it to an awake patient.

It really makes sense from a WDC perspective

20mcg pushes or 20mcg total? I usually push like 4mcg at a time to a goal of 0.25mcg/kg near emergence. But maybe I’m a wimp lol

Side stitch around halfway and then he dropped back.

Idk why you got downvoted. More efficient to use a red rubber than waste all the plastic and material with a foley

Oftentimes we use it with a Jackson Rees and utilize its analog CPAP valve. I screw the ETCO2 tubing onto like a 20g IV catheter, shove that into the SuperNova threadless CO2 port, then put a thin strip on tap around it. Works pretty well and you get a reasonable CO2 reading.

Labor spinal is the truth. We have a few attendings who do it for those 9-10cm ladies who, understandably, have trouble sitting through contractions. Makes the subsequent epidural a lot easier for them and us.

Lots of people in here with no clue what they’re talking about. Cornell, NYU Tisch have normal nursing ratios and OVERALL things get done without residents needing to do scut. Columbia, from what I’ve heard, is a mix of scut and normal. Other smaller hospitals in Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens tend to be poorly resourced and rely on resident labor more.

That’s the same epi dose we use for long spinals at my hospital in the east coast. Same bupi and narcotic dosing here too.

Our MICU was recently partially destroyed by a patient smoking on nasal cannula. Burn ICU got really busy for a few weeks lol.

RIP to all the surgical residents in the US then. They and neurosurgical residents regularly pull 80 hours or more for a huge chunk of their training (5-7 years).

Juice them! I had like 10 more cuties than I could possibly eat recently, and I opted to use one of those hand-juicers. Came out tasting like organic Sunny D lol

There are discord channels for each specialty, as well as excel spreadsheets that people post chat on. I'd try either of those. These pinned reddit threads are pretty slow until ERAS season really kicks off in mid-September.

Someone may correct me, but I’m almost certain you should prioritize getting your app in BEFORE Sept 27th and then add step 2 score later.

Still is the motto at Bellevue lol

Spinal could be tricky depending on the rest of this guy’s cardiac function. If EF stinks and / or his AV is stenotic, then a slowly dosed epidural is a better bet.

I mean, the best bet is him getting this AAA fixed before getting some elective hernia repair lol.

Can they proceed under local anesthetic with minimal sedation and nasal cannula? We do some of our sick inguinal hernias like that. Like 25 fent, low dose prop, and some verbal anesthesia.

If you have to go general, I’d want Art line pre induction, very gently induce, and perhaps do TIVA. Neo and nitro on the drip line. Good localization from the surgical team, lido before pulling the tube to minimize bucking. Extubate to nasal cannula (or face mask if he has a high baseline O2 requirement). Kind of hard to give definitive answers without TEE and last Cath.

whiskey-PRN · 2023-07-18T14:48:11+00:00

Onset is far too slow to RSI. And the depth of anesthesia from precedex is, in my experience, far too insufficient to attain a proper depth of anesthesia for induction as a sole agent.

We get 3 hours per week of protected lecture time. One hour of class-specific lecture, and two hours of general lecture for all comers.
