This is a great video because during Covid many nurses were weaning sedation and pain medication drips while not weaning paralytics. I saw this scenario often and had to step in.

Why You did not Drive a Analgesia? Or, why You did not change in volatile Sedation? I like Your Videos. In Germany I'm a CritCareNurse too, with BSN Andreas cand. MSN in APN-CC.

can you please make a video of how being a CRNA is different or similar to being an ICU nurse?

We have episodes that touch on this topic. Some that come to mind are "Your first day in the OR", "Studying differences in CRNA school vs Nursing school" and "What kind of cases do CRNAs really give anesthesia for?"

Awesome lecture, thank you for sharing. I don't know If this is a dumb question, but if the patient has recently had Botox injections in the forehead and facial muscles, could that also affect the accuracy of the TOF leads on the face?

Question. I’m a nurse that had a positive muscle biopsy. So positive for malignant hyperthermia. In the OR is there any way I could be inadvertently exposed to a trigger as a nurse?

You would have to either inhale the volatile anesthestic agents or be injected with succinylcholine as a trigger. Although the likelihood of exposure is low I would avoid being near the airway during induction of anesthesia to avoid any gas exposure and let the anesthesia team know
