fainting in the operating room

I tote and have about 15 stitches. Everytime I move I gush blood. The doc looked at me this morning and said I need to go to the OR to get checked out. Did this happen to anyone else? The OR scares me and it hurts so bad already from all the stitches from yesterday.Everytime the doc thought she was done stitching iI would gush more blood and sshe'd have to stitch some more.

I work at the operating room and we did surgery on hiv patient . After that the instruments were put in a chlorine solution for about 10 minutes . I then started washing them . I wear gloves . At the end of the day I check my middle fingers and there was some lines on them asceive it is a cut . I put my hands in alcohol , salt water , lime and even put spray on it when I got home but it never hurt me and there was no burning sensation .

Hi- I had a question about hpv in the operating room. Recently, I was involved in a case where it was scheduled as a biopsy of an oropharyngeal lesion. Into the case, I asked why the surgeon was using a coblator for the biopsy. He said it was already known that it was a squamous cell ca with hpv positive component. There was some smoke at the beginning. We did not have n95 masks on, just regular ones, which they say can let vaporized particles in still.

One of the times he was , thank God, in the emergency room and could not take the IV med he was given. He is such a nut that afterward said that Saint Peter gave him the winning lottery numbers and he forgot them. He was not "out" long any of the times and it has not effected him anymore then anything else in life. He has a pacemaker defibrilator and is going to have to go in for a 2nd oblation. Pray for him. He is not a cat with 9 lives but i am counting on another one anyway.

Once I had the 3rd one I was rushed into the operating room and had a pacemaker installed. I have been fine since the pacemaker. I had no symptoms and no sensation of something happening. Only after I was revived by medical staff did I know anything had happened. This is a VERY serious diagnosis and you must inform others in case there is an emergency. If you are not responded to immediately it can cause death. Seek advise from a good Cardiologist and stay on top of your heath.

My daughter had a procedure done in Boise, Idaho, I have excellent health insurance and the doctor booked the out patient facility for the surgery. The hospital is now billing me for the operating room twice. I contacted my insurance company and they have requested the medical reports for this second charge and have never been sent any. My letters from my insurance company state this is a duplicate charge and tell me to ignore it.

How many people are allowed in the operating room if ur having a c-section?

t appear to be adhered to the bone. However, over the last 6-8 months, it has been growing. It started off the size of a dime and never really bothered him. It is now slightly larger than a quarter and is actually somewhat painful to the touch. Any thoughts? I have made an appointment for him but i would like to hear if there's anyone out there that has heard or experienced anything of this nature. Thanks!

Me and my baby daddy arnt together and i don't want him in the room with me when I'm delivering if he requests to be in there do i have to let him?

I had fainting spells in the shower every time with my first two. I was anemic too. the doctor had me taking iron supplements twice a day and that stopped it.

The doctor had changed my meds and I called the nurse and she suggested I quit taking the tramadol that is can cause fainting. I am not sure that is it. I have nit fainted but the other night u had to get my cat out of a box he could not get out of when I bent over to pick him up I think I nearly went out again. I went got back and bed and stayed there.

(yesterday even given myself a black eye when found myself right on the tiled floor in the bathroom). I am now very worried to go to the bathroom in the morning as it scares me that I might pass out. Must say that I had a feeling of being sick in my stomach just before.. and then i throw up about half an hour after passing out. Doctors can not put the finger onwhat the problem is..

Loss of conscious in any emergency room I have every worked in mandates an overnight stay for observation. This is not the case in certain emergency rooms in Somalia and Afghanistan, and a little Island off the coast of Iceland notorious for practicing polygamy, but everywhere else, that is the drill. Clearly a neurological event took place, which seems to have been consistent with a petit mal seizure, etiology unknown.

Normally an opacified posterior capsule behind the intraocular lens implant is opened with a YAG laser. If the membrane is extremely thick or opaque, it would need to be removed with a vitrectomy procedure, which is done in an operating room, not the office. However, it would be very unusual to need a vitrectomy for posterior capsule opacification.

Here is the copy from my early post: I need help to understand how many more biopsies??? a little bit of history...after a mammo return - cluster calcification in the right breast-suggestion:stereotatic biopsy- I went to a breast surgeon and he did a excisional biopsy and remove two calcicfications with the results: one on top of aureola -benign, the other- right side -DCIS with high grade.

i had to reschedule a steroetactic biopsy because as soon as they got me in the room and i saw all the equipment and they were telling me what they were going to do i almost fainted!!!! i opted for the wait 6 months and check for changes. look at it this way, you brought some excitement to what would otherwise been a boring routine day for the staff!!!!!

The likelihood is this is not that serious, however any episode involving a loss of consciousness mandates an immediate trip to the emergency room and an in-person evaluation by an M.D. preferably a neurologist. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. It is absolutely positively impossible to guess the etiology. Most likely this was a simple vasovagal episode, perhaps with an element of dehydration or anemia, but we can't be sure. An MRI/MRA would be prudent. Perhaps an EEG.

So far I have been fortunate to be kept out of those operating rooms but tomorrow I am scheduled to be in a room with mini c-arm for one case. Of course we have protective x-ray gowns but is that enough for me since I"m still in the beginnings of my first trimester and everything is just starting to form? I hope someone can find me some answers before tomorrow. I didn't have time at work to try and call around to see if anyone knew. Thanks!

My husband and baby stayed in the operating room during my c section. They also went with me to the recovery room. The baby wasn't cleaned or taken to the nursery until a while later.

I had gall bladder surgery last week and I immediately noticed this condition when I woke up in the recovery room. My theory is the light above the operating table was bright and possibly burned it's image into my eyes. Could the be the cause and is this going to be permanent?
