That looks good. I shared that with a guy who is looking to reinstate via con ed. (We have a covid exemption that allows providers expired for less than 10 years to reinstate by doing all the con ed they missed)

I just did a 2 hour class on how to use the statewide incident management software. Talk about death by PowerPoint. I was ready to dig my eyeballs out with a spork.

Yeah it is pretty nice. All pre recorded so you can do it as you wish. Only found one speaker that I want enthralled with so far.

Curious, has anyone else heard of Type 2 MI’s? Does it vary from an NSTEMI? Couldn’t find much literature on it.

Is it just new/ different nomenclature for an NSTEMI? Thought about a thread, but doubt it would make it very far. Maybe it’s just a regional term.

I’ve heard of Type 3 DM, from the Alzheimer’s.

Also, I’d like to re-mention Internet Book of CC podcast for anyone interested in ICU-type knowledge. That is all for now.

Heard of it, all I could come up with is an NSTEMI without coronoary thrombosis. Looks more like a billing term than anything.

My understanding has always been type I MI is due to coronary occlusion and type II is ischemia secondary to supply/demand mismatch or global shock/hypoperfusion. I.e. Type I requires a Cath lab and Type II needs to identify and treat the underlying cause and ST deviations should resolve.

What do you call the meter thing that turns oxygen into a certain FIO2 for a trach pt?

Large blue tube connected to trach that looks like a wand with settings you control by twisting it

Yes. Except that doesn't appear to handle the controls to the O2, the setups in these pictures don't have them.

Though, I didn't know the name for the collar either, so that's a good bit of information

In 2018 there was a joint task force to redefine MI.

Taking the heathens to one of those drive-thru dinosaur exhibits. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t freak our 1 year old out, haha.

No problem. I remember reading it in an inpatient consult note and having absolutely no clue what it meant not too long ago.

Also have no clue why joint task force is a hyperlink, especially as I dont know the last time I was on Walmart's webpage....

Went to help move a Bari pt to the gurney. He's got a lot of blankets on him. One staff member is at the head. I say she might be better with help moving his feet. I instantly remember he's a double AKA. Faces just look at me and I start turning a little pink. Moving on. 🤦‍♀️
