Nitroglycerin iv tubing
Common Questions and Answers about Nitroglycerin iv tubing
nitrostat
If the IV bag is laying lower than the IV in the persons arm, blood will back up the tubing and can potentially get into the IV bag. When the IV bag is hung up on an IV pole, the bag is higher than the IV in the patients arm and the saline from the bag runs down into the patients arm. Hope this answers your question.
I noticed that on the IV hangar, the tubing was already hanging out of the bottom half of the IV pump machine and when the nurse came she simply hooked the remaining tubing up.
1) why didn't she open up new tubing in front of me like she did with disposable needles?
2) could this have been reused? Any nurses here?
3) if it was indeed reused, what are the chances of transmission from the virus back flowing into the tubing and staying active to be flushes into my veins with the IV fluids?
I was wearing gloves but what happened is that i was disconnecting iv tubing from the pts primary site and was going to transfer it to his other iv site. well, the IV tubing had blood in it and as i was connecting it so the second site, i missed and scratched my finger with the bloody tubing. i was wearing a glove but there was a tear in the glove and there is a visible scratch on my finger.
The doctor said the left heart was okay but found a narrowing in the right heart which caused coronary spasms during the test. IV nitroglycerin during the test stopped the spasms and dilated the vessel. He did not mention any other problems and recommended sublingual nitroglycerin to treat the spasms as they occur.
for the past 6 or so weeks iv had a mild dull aching and mild swelling in my testis ( more so in the left one.) iv had an ultrasound and am still waiting for results, but I’m still worried about one thing.
can I damage anything by ejaculating? its possible I have a spermatocele or some kind of blockage; could I do some damage to any of the tubing (i.e. epydidimis, vas deferens, etc.) by ejaculating, or should I wait till i get the ultrasound report?
The other day, my wife had to have an IV inserted into her arm for a bone scan. They were going to use the IV to inject a radioactive solution and then take an X-ray of her hand. She didn't get that far because she had a very bad reaction to having the IV inserted. She'd had an IV in before for an endoscopy with no problems so I think something must have gone horribly wrong this time. Here's exactly how it went down...
As anyone had the stress test the two parts myacardial perfusion scan after 4 weeks the cardiologist sent a prescription for asprin , isosirbide monitrate, amlodipine antrovastatin said my scan was 15% what does this mean is this not too bad medium or high risk don’t see him for another 2 months sldo can I have a few drinks on them as Iv not had a drink I just wondered people on these meds if they have a few drinks now n again thank you in advance x
A coworker asked me to start an IV for her the patient was very nervous, so I wanted to make sure I got the IV on the first try. I pulled the tip of my glove off my index finger. After advancing the catheter some of his blood was leaking out and I went to connect the extension tubing and the blood got on my finger tip and finger nail.
If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
Since priming fills the canula and/or the tubing.... If you skip the canula priming part you will have a gap in insulin delivery, like when there's a bubble in the tubing, so you may have temporarily high bg.
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
Most brand allow you to change all the tubing. I'm going to use either my sister in law or one of my friend pump but I will be buying new tubing. The rest of the machine doesn't come in contact with the milk.
ed is correct nitro dilates vessels.
I take a nitrate (isosorbide) for more than 6 years 3 times before going to gym for workout. My blood pressure does not drop between intervals...in fact I was told to have intervals of nitrate free period. It is true, nitro dilates the coronary vessels and prevents angina (chest pain). The patch should only be worn for up to 12 to 14 hours a day, or as directed by your doctor, but continued use with no interruptions can cause a tolerance for drug....
I only take isosorbide prior to a workout, and nitro when engaged in an activity that brings on angina. I understand your doctors are suggesting taking isosorbide daily as aschemia does not always produce angina even though the heart cells are not getting sufficient blood supply. This can lead to a silent heart attack so the medication is recommended continuously whether there is angina or not and older people in general are likely to have a silent heart attack.
The pain lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. I have been prescribed nitroglycerin to take as needed for chest pain and this medicine surely helps. I've had several EKGs and cardiac enzymes done which were all normal. I also had a threadmill/stress test done which was normal. My cardiologist thinks the the probability of me having an occluded/blocked coronary artery is very low.
I am in stage #4 of copd. I am on oxygen 24/7. All chemicals and smells bother me terribly. There is really nothing that does not bother me.The plastic smell in the cannula's and tubing is very bad for me. Does anyone have this same problem and if so please tell me what you are doing for it. Thanks so very much for any help.
Hello Imediject,
We're all volunteers here -- none with medical credentials, so pls review any suggestions you read here with your team.
I've been a pumper since before Lantus came out, so I'm not the best person to address this from personal experience. In my experience in the past with the older insulins like Ultralente, I typically would learn by trial & error if I had subjected my vial to extremes that were outside its range.
We have had a couple of episodes where blood will back up into the tubing--after she has had it on for a while. We change out every 3 days and have had no problems with highs or lows--but we know to change the infusion set to a different site every time we see blood in the tubing. We want to know why this happens? We can see if you hit a vessel when the needle is inserted--but somtimes it is a day or two before the bloold backs up into the tupbing.
