• Remember to transcribe as much needed information as you can over to the pre op checklist, as OR needs the charts the day before to have an anaesthetic review the chart. (You also may not be the one to do the interview if patients call back a day later.) • When on the phone and needing to leave a message, state, Hi, this is _______ I am calling from _____________Hospital, you have an appointment on (date), I need some additional information, and can you call me back at____________. (due to confidentiality we do not want to identify ourselves as the surgical unit, and we do not want to identify that the patient is having surgery) • Then go and check the lab book and pull any lab results and place them with the OR booking chart. Review the labs, and ensure any lab values that need follow up are faced or phoned to the surgeon.

According to Schull’s drug handbook (2006), Phytonadione acts on the liver to promote the production of active prothrombin, proconvertin, plasma thromboplastin component, and Stuart factor. In other words, it promotes blood clotting. The safe dose for neonate is 0.5 to 1 mg injected intramuscularly within one hour of birth. Adverse reactions include: hyperbilirubinemia, pain, swelling, tenderness at injection site, and anaphylactoid reactions. Because neonates in the first few hours of life usually don’t have adequate vitamin K in their blood stream, physician often prescribes Phytonadione to prevent hemorrhaging of the newborn.
The bag is then inflated until the air pressure in the cuff overcomes the arterial pressure and obliterates the arterial lumen. This is confirmed by palpating the radial pulse that disappears when the cuff-pressure is raised above the arterial pressure. The pressure is then raised further by 20 mm Hg and then slowly reduced. When the pressure in the cuff reaches just below the arterial pressure, blood escapes beyond the occlusion in to the peripheral part of the artery and the pulse starts reappearing. This is detected by the appearance of sound heard in the stethoscope and pressure at which the sounds are first heard is the systolic pressure.
Pain was no longer controlled with oral morphine sustained release (MST) tablets, 30 mg, and amitriptyline tablets, 25 mg, or there was excessive sedation or other side effects, which were unacceptable to the patient, despite adequate pain control. Patients with coagulopathies, allergy to the contrast dye or phenol; patients receiving radiation or chemotherapy within 4 weeks of the neurolytic block; and patients with moderate or major cardiac/respiratory incapacitating disease or hepatic or renal dysfunction were excluded. The patients were admitted to the hospital ward. An 18 G intravenous catheter was inserted; they received a pre-procedural 1000 mL lactated ringer solution. All patients were then transported to the x-ray room, and received conscious sedation with midazolam 0.1 mg/ kg and fentanyl 1 ug/kg.
I know that if you eat too much acidic food than you can get wicked bad heart burn to the point it feels like your heart is on fire. This movie would definitely change how I eat at Mcdonalds!, no more chicken nuggets for me after I saw how they made them. Morgan had started to have very bad chest pains once he started to eat all of the Mcdonalds in one month. It was hard to believe that there were seventeen different Mcdonalds in New York City in that little town. People say that it is Mcdonalds fault for them gaining weight, but what they don’t understand is that they have the choice wether they should eat it or not, or even how much they eat.
