That's a very common problem in my hospital too. Everyone talks like "give 5 dormicum.".
5 what? miligrams? milliliters? miligrams per minute? miligrams per hour?
No further explanation. Just give 5. Usually this does not cause problems with experienced nurses, but an inexperienced nurse can make catastrophic mistakes if she's not careful.

Here is a thought, don’t get mad when RN question your order because we trying to prevent something like this from happening. You might not get mad but there are a fair amount of your colleagues that do. “The nurse should have” sure point the finger at the nurse

Perhaps this could be" The Avoidable Death", rather than the "Avoidable Lawsuit!"? Anyway, Thank You, as Always, for your Great and Informative uploads!x❤x.

Firstly, you stand at the head of the bed when you intubate. That might be a reason why it was so hard to do.

Secondly, an intubated patient could never complain about a chest pain while he is weather sedated or uncouncious.

This videos are so much fun OMG I NEED MORE ASAP PLEASSSSEEEE

Medics in the ER work in highly stressed environment. Besides they already know this information, but in practice, after a while it becomes normal for them. In the end, he dies and thats it. So, know this, it can get messy in there and be carefull.

"Are you sure, Doctor? 2 ml seems like a really high dose. This vial is a 1:1K concentration." What the nurse should have said.

[imperfectmammal]

very useful videos! We need more of this kind of videos.

[ALEJANDRA]

Very useful information for anyone administering medications. Thanks, can’t wait to watch more!

I live in Pittsburgh, PA! I wonder if it was UPMC or AHN.

[kerrijohnstone]

I am studying medical law and this IS a good series

[LMFAORTB]

I’m just a medic but it’s pretty obvious the doctor was talking about 1:10k epi. Nurse’s should’ve clarified the concentration anyways.

Anaphylaxis treated by intubation in first moment? Patient with the orotracheal tube complains about the chest pain?
But Iam SO hapy to live in part of the world where is only one concentration of epinefrin ...

[rahulrathod]

I love too much new law suit videos thanks

[lilamontoya]

Wrong
More people would be at the rapid reasonse
One to record, one to push, supervisor, RT
RT would give the ETT
And someone would've gotten him a gyldoscope if he was struggling
RT would've put the sqaure thing to change color to check placement
And he wouldn't brought the vent
Like you have an ETT to ventilator ? Yeah right.

[healthhelperz]

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...ALWAYS BLAME THE NURSE. UNBELIEVABLE.

[kathirr.]

This is all about this
N So this house.

Well, can i sue the doctor who refuse to get me std test? i have the whole symptom and he take that lightly as nothing happen, i told him from 1 to 10, my sexual history and he say nothing just fever and little rash at my skin, omg im going to die😣

[omarnoor]

Wait what?!
Your telling me it's the nurses fault?!
Yes she should have asked but the dosge not the volume when she doubted it. But it's also THE DOCTORS FAULT. We have been taught to use generic names and drug doses not trade names and volumes. And to say it's the nurses fault is totally nauseating.
I LOVED your Osmosis videos, but I never thought the team is this misleading.
Be objective!
