I had a melanoma WLE surgery and 2 lymph’s removed. They couldn’t do anesthesia because I have sleep apnea so they gave me fentanyl knowing I have extreme chemical sensitivities to many chemicals others can handle all the time. After surgery, they moved me/my table to a wall and a lady shook me to get me to breathe then only sat down telling me to breathe every once in a while. She was too lazy to stay standing up to move me despite me taking only one breath and I wouldn’t breathe again! I remember the dozen moments she’d say to breathe in a really bitchy tone and then nothingness again. Finally she told me to sit up which helped but I was slumped over, then finally she said to breathe deep-that finally put a thought into my head (the only one) that I needed oxygen to live and snap out of this so I started doing Wim Hoff rapid, deep breathing to save my own life. It was HORRIBLE. I knew not to complain to the hospital as I might need them again later with all my many serious health problems. Doesn’t that sound horrible? It seriously makes me feel less than dirt being ignored having respiratory failure over and over an sober and over and nurses saw me not breathing walking by and they saw me just dead basically after taking out my vent. I also probably found out I had an allergic reaction to some drug one phlebotomist accidentally told me while looking at my records. Then after my WLE split open and was infected, it pushed out 2 foreign objects; a black square plastic looking thing and blue/ turquoise yarn like girls used in the 50-70’s like in the Brady Bunch. I don’t even own turquoise clothes. So much medical abuse and it’s haunted me since. Why would they even do all that? Why not tell me I had a reaction? Do they seriously think I don’t remember basically dying a dozen times like a junkie? Who can I maybe later make a formal complaint to? I’m just scared with having Medicaid I’d be forced to go there again for surgery later for some reason.

Near the end of her surgery, a car struck and knocked out the electrical power box outside of the small medical building. All of the lights and equipment shut off. The dentist immediately inform me that everything was ok, the surgery part had ended and my daughter was waking up. I noticed that my daughter was hooked up to a “transport monitor” showing a black screen. I asked the dentist why wasn’t the monitor on. He answered that all the electricity was out, as if I hadn’t noticed. I told him that the monitor should be on because it should have a battery back-up. He replied, “These have batteries?!!” Apparently the staff never knew what that “long rectangular thing” was and had kept it in a drawer instead of the monitor.

Insightful video. I am head of Biomedical engineering at a hospital with 18 theatres. We had a similar problem, but the ventilator monitor on your GE blew. We had no idea what the vent was doing. Luckily we were closing. So the anaesthatist switched from mechanical ventilation to bagging, bagged the patient and we turned the gas all the way down until the MAC reading on the patient monitor went down to zero. In South africa we don't have resident and attending. The all self employed and work individually. So the first line is to call a biomedical engineer into theatre and assess and assist the doctor. Luckily I was able to swop out the machine for the rest of the day and replace the screen that afternoon. We are no changing all our GEs for Dragers.

Great videos! As a tech nerd I wanted to give a minor correction. You referenced “blown fuse” a few times. It is very possible equipment would have fuses in them, but not the hospital power supply that feeds electrical receptacles. Those are protected by “circuit breakers”. Google the difference. While a minor technically, to an electrical geek like me it is not trivial. If you said “there is a blown fuse and I need it fixed stat before the patient crashes”, I would start looking on the back of equipment for the little fuse holders. The exception being a huge machine that pulls massive power might have a fuseable disconnect on the wall (looks like a bull switch). It seems from this experience basic electrical calculations would be helpful for doctors plugging in equipment. Each device should have a nameplate on it with the power demands. Look for “amps”. If amps is missing then look for “VA” (volt amps) or watts. Divide VA or watts by the voltage of the outlet (not the voltage marked on the machine as most accept multiple voltages) to calculate amps. Example 1200va would be 10 amps in the USA. 120 volts is for a standard outlet in USA. Add up the amps of all the devices you are plugging in and multiply by 125% as this allows for the necessary adjustments for “continuous load”. Example 5 amp machine + 5 amp machine = 10 amps. 10x 125% = 12.5 amps. A “normal electrical receptacle” circuit in a hospital in the USA would be rated for 20 amps, so the 12.5 amps calculated is acceptable. So all devices plugged in to receptacles on one branch circuit X 125% should not exceed 20 amps. Lastly you gotta make sure you are not fooled by more than one electrical receptacle (outlet) being wired to the same breaker. Every hospital I’ve been in has great labels on the Cover plate of the electrical receptacles. The number indicates the breaker. So learn the OR to see if each receptacle is on a dedicated breaker or if there is a pattern. The labeled circuit breaker numbers on outlets will be your friend when a breaker blows. Unplug all non mission critical devices and find an outlet with a different number and plug in the most mission critical device first, and add devices monitoring if any one added device blows the breaker as it could be a failed equipment device that is pulling more power than the nameplate. Perhaps bringing in the hospital electrician for a one day “crash course” would be wise for medical professionals to learn basic electrical troubleshooting and load calculations to avoid the incident on this video which was completely avoidable with basic electrical knowledge. Also, you used the term “short circuit” incorrectly. A short circuit means the electricity passed thru the wires before it reached its load, often because of a failed connection or cut wire. If you tell a hospital electrician “we have a short circuit” instead of turning the power back on, he will refuse as he could be blown up at the electrical panel due to an arc flash when flipping power on to a shorted out circuit. He would demand to fix the short first. Instead you simply “lost power due to overloading a circuit “. That would tell the electrician that some load needs to be moved to a different circuit and power restored. Thanks for your videos, learned a lot!!! :-)

It’s always the little things, last month in a case the oximetry fell from 100 to 80 and we just couldn’t figure out why, after 5 very stressful minutes we finally notice that the oximeter was a little bit off the finger, I moved it a little and boom 100% again

Everyone always tells me how appreciative they are for my being calm in a crisis so I totally believe that if I were a doctor that is what I would’ve trained to be! Also I love seeing stories like this because my sister is a clinical engineer in charge of medical equipment installations and/or troubleshooting in hospitals and I find it completely fascinating to learn about all of the behind the scenes things like that which go on in hospitals that never get noticed/mentioned/talked about very much. Interesting stuff!

When I was the simulation professor at a nursing college, I spent a lot of time creating unexpected problems for my students. What if the power goes out during a procedure? What if your patient codes during a procedure? What if family members become violent? What if? What if? What if? It is so critical to have simulation in medical training. It doesn’t have to be a high def state-of-the-art facility. It can be an analog dummy in a 1980s track suit. But 99% of the time the panicked students placed the ambu mask upside down or did compressions distal or on top of the xiphoid process. Half of the time they were so focused on inserting a Foley or hanging heparin that they didn’t even notice that the monitors were alarming. Everyone in the medical field benefits from a lot of hours in the sim lab. I hope that education moves away from the virtual and into the live sim. Great video!!! I learn so much from your videos and I very much appreciate what you do. ❤️🙏🏽❤️

I find that really fascinating, I've never encountered such myself during the course of my work, but one thing I did find fascinating was the concern regarding IV access. I had a robotic procedure done and because I hate hand IVs, there was a concern regarding IV access because they, at least at the hospital I had the procedure done at, strap down your arms close to your body and put foam around them to protect you from the robot as a protective measure, and that restricted their access to my IC because it was an AC IV, and they placed a hand IV while I was asleep to prevent issues that may have arisen.
@MaxFeinsteinMD3 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael, it's not uncommon for people to feel strongly opposed to IVs (nobody ever *wants* one, it's just a continuum of how much people don't want them). In those cases, we do exactly what you described-- get the most tolerable IV while the patient is awake, then get a second one once they're under anesthesia. We also take the same approach when we need one or two really big IVs but are having a difficult time finding a big enough veins. Interestingly, anesthesia causes veins to get wider so it's a lot easier to place additional IVs after someone is under anesthesia.
@MichaelJTritter443 жыл бұрын
@@MaxFeinsteinMD Yeah, I deal with trauma patients mostly, so they are fairly easy going about it, especially when you tell them you can help with their pain lol. But I go to AC IVs by default, and than hand if that fails. It really depends, as we often get people with poor vasculature.

In my recent, one and only hospitalization I wasn't happy to find that the hospital's computer was running Windows 7, an out-dated version of the computer system most targeted by hackers. Medical equipment needs to be like space probes. They should run a specialized operating system that's designed to be as secure as possible.

The point Dr. Feinstein makes about not "just sitting around" and "anticipating possible problems that might happen" shows that the anesthesiologist's job somewhat resembles that of an airline pilot on a long flight. It's true that the pilot is not constantly making decisions and taking actions throughout the hours of flight time. But, like the anesthesiologist, he or she is constantly anticipating possible problems of many different kinds.

Awesome video Dr. Max! Rest assured, all newer ER’s/OR’s are designed to virtually eliminate all power problems like the one you experienced. Most OR’s have their own power panels that are backed up by generators, and OR’s have an over abundance of outlets available to ensure that too many things aren’t running on the same circuit.
