Oh Bollox...an endoscopy

Aren't all Endoscopes shoved down your throat?

If it's up the arse it's a Proctoscope

"Lord Frag" said to Donegal Paul barfed:

Not that you have shite veins, but that iv's are the root cause of
collapsing veins.

There is that, some people are difficult to cannulate, no doubt, and these
are the people that any nurse with a brain wont let a doctor have more than
one or two gos, we generally then call one of the anaesthetists to do it and
they /almost/ always get it first time every time. But cannula's really
should last more than a day, if not it's down to technique, or position, or
poor care.

yup, better veins but a bit more difficult to get at certainly, of course,
these (due to their position) are actually more likely to only last a day
:-/

Nope. I regularly have patients on our wards that are on loads of IV
antibiotics and if all conditions are met as mentioned, ie position, care,
etc, they last more than a day.

the 250ml bag will more than likely be clarithromycin I suspect. I dunno
what the 50 ml 3 times a day is, ive never heard of that sort of dilution
for any antibiotic.
Was this put through a pump or manually given?

LOL, don't be daft man. I never denied you have shit veins, or that you
imagined any of the cannulas, all im saying is that they should last longer
than a day and if not , its not down to just having antibiotics through
them.

"Bear" said to Lord Frag says...

There is no way in hell that you should have been subjected to that amount
of cannulas, thats fucking ridiculous to be quite frank.
If your veins closed (and hence the cannula failed) due to inflammation from
the ABs, then they were not being administered correctly, either incorrect
dilution, technique, lack of flushing etc etc.

"Leo" said to mb

Nope, endoscopy actually covers all scopes.
Throat could be either airways or stomach and is bronchoscopy or gastroscopy
respectively.
arse could be proctoscopy, colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
there is also, laryngoscopy and auroscopy.

Girly specific could of course be colposcopy

Then youve got arthroscopy, or laparoscopy too but they involve a degree of
minor surgery for access

Technically, an endoscope would be for any inspection of an internal
cavity (etymology being endo, inside, and scope, visual display)

So a "proctoscope" is merely a form of (or, rather, method of using an)
endoscope.

 

Why don't you take this to alt.fan.cannula where your sort are
tolerated?

 

I got a collapsed vein on my arm from having lots of antibiotics put in
iv. One of the nurses didn't even get rid of the gas bubble in the
syringe, and shoved the liquid in so fast that my vein went sort of pop.

 

I did try that but they couldn't see my point?

Pissed me _right_ off at the time. Can you imagine my panic at the sight
of a bubble of gas going into may arm? Come in with a strep eaten
finger, go out with gas bubbles causing problems god know where.

 

A little bubble won't do any harm.
At least that's what nursey told me when she couldn't be bothered
to clear it.

 

Yeh, I know that now, but at the time she didn't explain anything. Maybe
she was having a bad day or something.

 

It's not really acceptable practice, mainly as it can be a factor in
cannulation failure, but other than that a small bubble wont do you harm
like kill ya.
they will easily dissolve into the bloodstream / tissues.

One thing though, this is ok(ish) in cannulae in arms and legs, but strictly
not acceptable in big lines such as hickmans and central lines.
Basically, the same principle applies however, in some cases where these are
being used frequently, it is possible, rare but possible, for several
smaller bubbles to accumulate and before dissapating will / can "burp" from
their resting place and cause an embolus that lodges in your heart and kills
ya!

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Jeez; I recall some hash-bash merchant of a nurse doing that and
thought, "****! I'm gonna die!", as it went in my arm.

In fairness to nurses everywhere; I've had my fair share of needles in
orspitals and she was an exception.

Hash-bash, I like that term.

This is true in my experience. They have to deal with some really bad
stuff, and be expected to do it day in, day out.

 

Crumbs. Embolus sounds bad.. <fx: googles> Ahh.. that is bad. A clotted
bit of blood that goes somewhere and blocks something up.

I guess that being on the deoxygenated bit of the plumbing, a bubble
would dissipate quicker.

 

And if its down your willy...?
