Sedation of Vent Patient

[AZCEP]

Hopefully, before they shipped the patient, they ordered up a new liver to meet them at the receiving facility.

Sorry if I din't make myself clear, she did recieve versed after the vecuronium. I don't like back seat driving other peoples pts but I think the gastric lavage issue was because the nurses didn't know how to set up the whole operation. The lady ended up getting sent with the OG tube in place with a 60 cc syringe taped onto the end to block the tube off. The rest of the packet got sent with the patient so the other hospital go finish the lavage.

As for the ABG I don't really know what happened there. Our hospital isn't used to serious patients. We don't have a respiratory tech, we have two CRNA's but they are on call. The only staff in the ER is the Doc and 2 nurses when it gets busy. I had set up the autovent because the medic left and no one else knew how.

This happened Thursday and the Pt is still on the vent
