nitroglycerin tubing

I have nitroquik - sublingual nitroglycerin - to take if I have angina pains - this morning about 5 am I was miserable and couldn't tell if it was heart or ms symptoms and I took one. As always it stopped my discomfort, depressed my already low blood pressure and I went to sleep for about 3 hours. I've used nitroquik for the past 3 months or so and it always stops the pain and gives me relief within minutes.

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.

I can only conclude that the color is embedded into the tubing itself. We just bought new clothing for school, perhaps the tubing is picking up clothing dye. I called Medtronic and they are sending a canister that is pre-paid so they can see it for themselves.

Tubing and swimming are two different things. Def not something you should risk. Tubing can be extremely dangerous to yourself and your baby.

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.

If a person with HCM were to take nitroglycerin, the symptoms would worsen and the nitroglycerin could even cause a catastrophic deterioration in the person's condition".

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.

I have found out that hospitals reuse saline bags and tubing. They do not reuse the needles and/or syringes. Is there a risk from reusing saline bags and tubing? Aren't you only being injected and nothing is coming out?

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.

Is there any way at all that blood can backflow in IV tubing all the way into the saline IV back even when bag is lying lower than where the IV is in arm?

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.

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.

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.

What type of cleaning should be done for the tubing used in oxygen therapy? Also, once a person is on continuous oxygen therapy and that person has COPD is there an average length of time before that person dies?

I have recently (past 7 months) been having headaches, stomach pain, and pain along my shunt tubing but no redness, swelling, or sickness. I have had multiple X rays and cat scans, but my neurosurgeon seems confident that nothing is wrong. Recently the site of my stomach incision has been tender and a bit sore, not red or swollen. Is it normal for scar tissue to feel sore / tender at times?

Dear Docs In my research I work with blood donated by people working in my building. While cleaning a pair of sharp scissors I used to cut plastic tubing with blood inside i accidentally pricked myself leading to small puncture mark on the thumb with obvious amount of fresh blood. The tips of the scissors had been soaking in 80% Ethanol since 5 days ago. The donor is a young healthy looking male around 28 years old.

I've never heard of nitroglycerin being used to treat migraine, but glad that it worked. But if it keeps on, and sorry to tell you this, but you probably should see a doctor ASAP. It could be the sign of a coming stroke, since it is sudden and very painful. I started with a sudden very different migraine than any I had ever had before. It turned out that within 3 weeks, longer than usual as a gap in time, I had a full carotid artery dissection stroke.

The same with his recent heart catherization was chest pressure. In the ER he was given 2 nitroglycerin, 5 minutes apart, the chest pressure went away after the 2nd nitroglycerin. Does any good specialist in cardiology think that my husband should have the open heart surgery for bypasses considering the risks regarding his age, his diabetes? I would appreciate very explanatory answers, easy to understand, what to do in my husband's situation. Thankyou.

I assume the diagnosis of hyperreactive responses not only to the constrictor effects of acetylcholine, but also the dilator effects of nitroglycerin were detected diffusely in the epicardial coronary arteries of patients with coronary spastic angina. The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains.

Some of the systems are however more unobtrusive than others. Depending on her need, the diameter of the tubing can be smaller. Also the color of the tubing can be chosen similar to her skin color.
