😂 I thought you said you were a genius doctor?#movie #video #shorts

Asked the nurse to change my IV needle when I had my daughter because it was starting to itch and she claimed that it was changed earlier in the day, then got upset when my husband snuck out of the room to find a different nurse who looked over the chart and said “no it was put in last night, did you look at the needle site itself?” Which was getting puffy and irritated from being in so long

Pressure is force / area. A smaller syringe creates more pressure compared to a larger syringe when using the SAME amount of force. You can create much more pressure in a larger syringe but it takes more force.
In nursing I like using smaller syringes when appropriate because i dont have to push as hard on the plunger allowing for a more consistent stable push.

That's funny because pressure x dia = force. It's very simple relationship that the bigger the diameter of the piston the the same amount of pressure can apply a LOT more force. The same principle applies across all form of fluid dynamics. Regardless if that fluid is water, steam or air.

The reason that is important is on a set pressure hydraulic system of 5000 psi. How big of a hydraulic cylinder do I need to purchase to lift a 2 ton total load?

So a smaller volume syringe from a 10 ml to a 3 ml is likely going to be a much smaller piston pushing the fluid. Which in fact exerts less force on the saline solution if the same amount of pressure is applied. Meaning the doctor would have to push on the syringe much harder to get the same work as the 10ml.

In other words... just because it sounds fancy on a T.V. show. Doesn't mean it actually is such a thing in real life.

Now what Pascals says if you have a small piston on one end and a large piston on the other. It's easier for the small piston to push the bigger one, than the bigger piston to push the smaller one. It's a case where both pistons are trying to do push against each other.

Which in the case of a blocked picc line. There is nothing pushing against the blockage. It's just a blockage.

Which let's be honest with as often as they replace them, if the picc line is blocked, it's because it's old. Instead of flushing it, they need to replace it. So in the end. This entire conversation is moot.

Never mind the clot that will break off and travel to the lungs

Just because something is protocol doesn’t mean you should do it

[nawr]

Isn't he... Spectacularly wrong here? Is it to do with the needle width perhaps? Because otherwise he's totally wrong and the protocol is right

[carnivorouswatermelon]

This guy looks super similar to one of my friends

[hatchettygoodnessis]

It'll still need that, even if they unclog it, the clot will most likely still be just sitting on the end of the lumen. Also it's definitely not 7000$ don't know where that number can from

What’s hilarious is thinking a doctor is doin that 😂
