It's almost a year since becoming an RN...and I find myself on your page to refresh my memory. I watched during nursing school, while studying for NCLEX, and now while working. I work in CVPCU but with covid I experience many respiratory issues in these patients. Thanks for all you do!

[LeahTheRose]

I passed my NCLEXPN because of this woman. I owe Cathy Parkes my life

During my clinical hours in MS, I had a case where the patient had developed atelectasis and later pneumonia during their stay. While speaking with RT, he mentioned using a PEP device rather than an incentive spirometer in order to influence the patient to try to get the sputum/fluid out of their lungs. He said incentive spirometry was great as a preventative but he had seen more success with the PEP device once the problem had alreaay set in. I'd love to see more info on this but thought it could be a helpful bit of information.

Thank you for your video (:

Did influenza rates go down during covid due to masks or because influenza testing was not being performed to the degree it had in the past? From my experience working in the ED, we always anticipated the flu season with increased numbers, but when covid happened during the flu season, both were lumped together due to the same symptoms. Influenza testing was no longer being performed as it had in the past, decreasing numbers drastically. All the focus was on covid and the flu was hardly a concern. If you had any of the symptoms of the flu or covid, you had covid (this inverse occurred even more rapidly because there were no tests for covid during that time. The symptoms of the flu were enough to give a diagnoses of covid). There was massive incentive for diagnosing covid instead of influenza because hospitals received subsidy and other relief money for each covid patient admitted. I encourage you to look further into this prior to stating that it was masks alone that decreased influenza rates. Masks give a false sense of security as microscopic droplets can easily escape through the fibers of a surgical mask and others.

You lost me at "masking" - in hindsight that really didn't seem to do anything at all.
