You should talk about pacing through pacemakers, epicardial wires, transvenous, etc!

[@confidentcareacademy]

Yessss we will absolutely make an episode for it!

[@healthbeets1519]

@tearsajoy891 which unit do you see that?

[@born2drum1]

1 heart 2 lungs makes SO much sense!

[@quinnlewis2003]

Grear video!!! I would love to see videos on getting a room prepped for new admissions, S/p surguries/exubation/intubation and tips on communicating between the medical team when prognosis goes south...

[@confidentcareacademy]

Love these ideas! We're filming an extubation video next week, and check out our video on provider communication for allll of the communication/stressful situation tips!

[@juliachambers725]

I I thought running note was my idea😂. Also levo increases afterload and there are tons of situations when it’s not a cool drug to give. Phenylephrine also favored in abdominal surgeries post procedure over levo from the last pt I had with bowel perforation.
