    642 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bob Probert was a 45 year old man with 4 kids and a wife when he passed away from CTE. He drank, did drugs, and was a womanizer but he didn’t want his kids to find out. He knew they eventually would though and he said that when they did find out, he wanted it to be “straight from the source” (1.). He used to snort cocaine. Once when he was caught while smuggling drugs over the Detroit-Windsor border, he dumped it in the toilet. The first time he tried cocaine was in 1983. It was post-game and before long he was buying an ounce a week which was $800 so it was about $42,000 a year. His work permit was revoked by the US government. He met his wife in Relax Plaza in Windsor and even after he was caught on the border she still stayed with him. To pass drug tests, he would microwave his urine so it would come up clean.

    The ICU universally is dedicated to people who are unfortunate enough to be facing life-threatening situations and extremely serious problems that would require round the clock medical attention. Regrettably, those poor souls are the ones occupying these rooms. With that established, it brings us the head nurse, Nurse Rempel, and a first-class one at that. Well known for her bedside manner and a personality to die for, only overshadowed by her genuine concern for the welfare of her patients. That quality has gained her high praise throughout the medical field, which includes colleagues, patients, and their families.

    Like with anything else, it is imperative to ensure a patent airway, adequate ventilation, good oxygenation, and adequate circulation. However, stroke patients have an increased risk of losing the ability to protect their own airway and subsequently aspirate. You can help protect the patient from aspirating by simply placing them in the semi-fowlers position. Now if severe vomiting becomes a factor and the airway is compromised, intubation may need to be used to protect the patient from any further aspiration. If either the tidal volume or rate becomes inadequate, quickly assist their ventilations at a rate of 10-12 breaths per minute. If assistance is needed with ventilations, its good practice to have your BVM hooked up to oxygen too because unless your patient is intubated at this point, some of the room air you pump into them is going to go into the stomach, making for less adequate oxygenation. Along with the ABC component, you’re going to establish IV access and apply the cardiac monitor to see what the heart is doing (Mistovich, 2008). Treating the symptoms is all you’re going to be able to do. As it was mentioned before, the only way to treat the underlying problem is to get the patient to the hospital as quickly as you

    The issue of off load delay is becoming ever more relevant as emergency departments (ED) are filling up and having longer wait times. This isn’t always an issue when there are free paramedic crews in the area but it often results in coverage lapses. The question becomes, should paramedics be leaving their less urgent patients in triage with walk-in patients so that they can get to other people in need? A balance needs to be found between leaving the CTAS 4 and 5 patients in the waiting room and leaving 911 callers at home to wait.
