Yeah i’m not new nurse i’m an IR nurse but i’m definitely struggling to keep up with the fast pace. I can get a call that OR so so is coming and 2 mins later they roll through the door.

You missed out one important thing.dont forget to lift gown to check out male patient privates which you female nurses invairibly do as most pacu nurses are female.🤔

What a great explanation!

Wonderful content Cathy!

Can you do a segment on pt on suboxone and methadone and how we can manage pain in the PACU?

So is this a malpractice if this happens to you just after surgery? I had arthroscopic knee surgery and almost was rushed to the emergency room after due to this issue.

I was given Versed before I signed my surgical consent forms. I was non-combative and fairly calm but I wouldnt let the nurse take my glasses as it was not time to go to the OR yet and I cannot see without them. so she drugged me. I dont remember much after that. not signing consent or the ride to the OR. I do rmeember entering the OR and switching tables because they wouldnt let me stand.. had me slide over instead and my gown, blanket and both iv's got tangled.. then that cow grinned at me with a needle in her hand and gave me more Versed. I was in the OR for 90 minutes before they anesthetized me. In that time my surgeon obtained verbal consent for students to do vaginal/rectal exams on me. I do not remember anything. The horrors my mind has conjured up about that 90 minutes is severe tho. the nightmares.. crying all the time. I now hate doctors. I hate nurses. I hate the anesthesiologist that had the power to stop this and did nothing. I will die before I let you f*ckers touch me again.

Opioid crisis is bullshit, its a symptom of a breakdown of this country politically and economically, People no longer see any future in the United States, and if your homeless why the hell not due fentanyl?

When will you offer another class for the CPAN certification?

Im in my 30s and Ive had that happened while sleeping a few times and it was horrible it hasnt happened in yrs since I started sleeping with a small pillow thank God. But I had one this yr when Ihad gastroenteritis and was throwin up.. Its actually 10x worse bc while you cant breathe you still wanna throw up so you have to try to not throw up up while trying to cough to get some air. Im goin to the ENT maybe he can teach how to do that thing behind the ear

Great content! You should also consider transferring these videos to a podcast.

Please role of nurse in recovery room

شكرا جزيلا انا عربي واستمع لشروحاتك لكنك سريعة في التحدث اواجه صعوبة في فهم بعض الكلمات 😅🤍

I’ve had that happen… I do the heimlick maneuver.. it works for me…

General anesthesia is poison, nothing else. I hated it and did not approve it. I was unconscious early on and never even met the anesthesiologist. Damn them all to hell. I totally hate hospitals and doctors. Especially those insensitive clod surgeons. 😡😡😡😣😣😣😠😠😠

i get this spasm out of nowhere. sometimes i just swallow saliva wrong, or breathe wrong, or i can even just sniffle and it might cause it. it's like my throat gets confused with what is air and what is something i'm supposed to swallow. it's terrifying. i'm 80 years old and it exhausts me to get thru an attack. i'm afraid the older i get i won't have the strength to do it. i haven't seen it mentioned but for me the spasm creates a lot of saliva with air bubbles and i've learned to stand over the kitchen sink and spit out everything i can and try not to swallow it, just try to get rid of it and at the same time i'm panicking to get air. i do have acid reflux but i've not had a spasm because something was coming up in my throat, it's always been related to swallowing.

Thank you.

Great info! I hate when they prescribe those drugs to me. I never take them, I only ever use over the counter!

Thank you! Just moving into PACU and trying to learn all I can.

Mine is caused by injury- chiropractor injured me & severe aerophagia & other injuries

I am glad I found your page! I am currently in a PACU training program and am so nervous about it. This helps a lot! Thank you!

Thank you for this. I just started getting this after having Covid.

Your PACU content is exceptionally good

where is the part 5.2?? your videos are informative!

is there a phase 3 in pacu??

Thanks nurse Cathy! I appreciated Eladio's questions.

Sentinel events created nurse staffing recommendations learn about it here!

I have been a critical care nurse for 17 years and a few months ago I moved to PACU. I noticed my first few days there I felt dizzy and a little nauseous. I just thought I had a bug. But over a few months I noticed I repeatedly had those symptoms and only while at work. I never called off or anything and nobody else seemed to have this issue. I really thought it was in my head. After three months I just felt PACU wasn’t for me and transferred back to my old unit. I’ve not felt dizzy since. This video makes me wonder if I was just more sensitive to the WAG than other nurses.

thank you for making this chanel. 😊
