  1. Well I meant that he's still alive and they are reducing oxygen 

    ICU nurses usually have a generic order to wean oxygen for O2 saturations greater than 92-95. It’s doesn’t really mean much unless you know a lot of other variables. 100% oxygen can lead to oxygen toxicity. Unless you know what his hemoglobin level, O2 saturation, Arterial blood gas analysis, and what vent settings he is on, this doesn’t tell me much.

  2. Sometime today they should start trying to wean him off of sedation. If they can start doing that and he doesn’t start having seizures it will be very encouraging. If he starts seizing that is indicative of serious injury to the brain. At that point they will do a cerebral blood flow scan to evaluate perfusion or what is most likely a lack of perfusion….

    Possibly. Depends on a lot of things. For example, whether or not he was put on a hypothermia protocol, etc.

  3. If you have something different speak up. The general consensus has been, "Don't worry about breathing in, stay on chest compressions."

    This is true for 1 person rescue. Don’t stop compressions to breathe when it’s just 1 person. If there’s more than 1 person, send someone to get help. Then, when there’s 2 people available rescue breaths can be performed at the recommended ratio.

  4. I can add some confirmation to this. My ex is an Anesthesiologist and several times said if she could have a do over she preferred being a CRNA. She said less study, work hours and professional liability. Enough pay to keep her happy and they aren’t stuck 24 hours in call room at hospital. A lot of them do locums and enjoy a great life.

    Yes it’s great to call yourself a doctor (DNP) when it’s convenient and then be just a nurse when shit hits the fan.

  5. Not to bag on when the point has been made, but anyone in the medical field in Texas who says this is lazy: either intentionally or because they assume they don’t care to know better. Most folks in the medical field in Texas know that the original name is UT Health Science Center of San Antonio and typically refer to it by its old acronym “UTHSCSA” (sounds like “you-tusk-a”).

    Yes I’m an alum, yes I was there during the name change to “UT Health - San Antonio”. As I’ve stated before, I’m not a nurse, so yes I’m a poors.

    - I’ll consider my rant completed-

    We called it U-suck-Sa.
  6. This shit is dumb. 
     
    The plan is and always has been 
    Ewers - 2022-23, 2023-24
    Arch - 2024-25 and beyond 
    As for the rest, Card will transfer out after this year and play two years at Houston or SMU, Maalik will battle with Arch in 24-25 and leave if he loses. Need the 2025 QB to be a stud to continue this trend  
     
     

    Or Maalik stays for his 5th year in Sarks system after Arch leaves and balls out like Mac Jones.

  7. My wife is from San Angelo and my aggy father-in-law teaches psychology at Angelo State.  I don't mind the area.  Could never live there but it has the best deer hunting in the state. 
     

    Yeah, it’s terrible place to live. Don’t go there.

  8. Josies in POC has consistently horrible Tex Mex. Shitty salsa, shitty enchildas, beans, tacos etc. But they have kick ass burgers. Going back as long as I remember.

    100% this. We have a house in POC. (Fuck yes Humblebrag) Haven’t eaten the tex-mex at Josie’s in over 10 years. I don’t even take fish to them anymore.
