💔 UNDERSTANDING the EKG Heartbeat: The P WAVE 💓 ❓ Ever wonder what the first bump on an EKG means? 🏥 The P wave is the first bump of the cardiac cycle, it represents the electrical activity called atrial depolarization. 🏥 The P wave represents the atria contracting pushing blood into the ventricles. It's the heartbeat's opening act - small but crucial! 🏥 It is typically a small positive deflection occurring just prior to the QRS complex. ❓ What is the preferred ratio of "P waves" to "QRS complexes" for a normal healthy cardiac rhythm? ***** Hi, I'm Mary Beth, an experienced telemetry and medical-surgical nurse whose passion is providing quality care to my patients and making sense of the voluminous medical records.

This is crazy! Mri safety week is not just about sharing stories of MRI accidents. 🗞️Don’t give me wrong these stories help us to better protect patients and other healthcare professionals from the power of the MRI scanner, but do they really help lower the incident rate of MRI accidents? 🧲As an MRI technologist, I can speak from firsthand knowledge of almost being pinned to a MRI scanner by a wheelchair because of negligence from a fellow Mri technologist. The stories I could share, but I won’t may shock you of how easy it is for an Mri accident to occur. 😳 Let’s take this week not only to educate the public about the power of a Mri scanner and how we can keep everyone safe during the MRI scan. Let’s use this week to educate all medical imaging professionals, nurses, doctors, administrators, transportation, respiratory therapy, etc. How are you celebrating MRI safety week at your facility? #mri #mrisafety #medicalimaging

Are junior doctors capable of creating a culture of excellence? Working in Obs and Gynae was stressful at this particular hospital. Our team was always playing catch-up. And morning handovers were the absolute ghetto 🚮 One day on call, I was notified about a patient who was due to start blood transfusion. It was 2am and she was bleak and decompensating. Started resus. But where was her cross-match? Checked the system, no record of bloods logged. I went to every blood collection station looking for this sample. Found it. Sitting at the transport office desk. Waiting for a doctor to fill a form to authorise transport for a driver. Apparently had been there for hours. No one thought to call. Or follow up on why this blood is just sitting there. The empath in me took the blood sample and drove it the receiving blood bank myself. No protocol. No fancy cooler box. At 3am. Don't judge me 😅 Security thought I was on nyaope for risking it in my Corsa. But I did it. And she got transfused before the sun came up 🌅 The whole thing shook me. I never wanted to risk another person's life with something as trivial as a form. So my colleague and I started using Trello (bless him). Just with each other at first. Then we got the students on our boards. Soon the whole unit was on. We kept it simple with colour tags. -Red was for bloods -Yellow was radiology -Green was discharge -Blue was transfers, handovers and referrals Every one could update the board in real-time, and everyone would know exactly what needed to be done. That meant... / No more missed updates / Patient rounds became smoother, and handovers were quicker and clearer. / The team’s communication improved so much Systems don’t have to be complicated to work. As a junior doctor your simple, small actions can bring about major departmental change. You don't need anyone's permission be to be excellent! Question is, are you brave enough to start?

Working Wednesday Tip Did you know? A heart catheterization procedure is an invasive procedure to determine if blockages are in the heart arteries. -->After the heart catheterization procedure, a transradial arterial compression device called TR Band is used to hold pressure. The TR band device is a safety device to decrease bleeding from the wrist (radial) artery puncture site. After the procedure: -->The TR band removal can start one hour after a diagnostic heart catheterization procedure with No blood thinners. -->For an interventional heart catheterization (stent), the TR band removal can start two hours after the procedure. Blood thinners are used during the stent procedure; therefore, the TR Band is used longer to avoid excessive bleeding. -->The goal is to remove air from the TR band in small increments: 2 cc of air can be removed from the TR band every 15 minutes with assessment and documentation. Reportable Events (to name a few) Always communicate with the doctor 1. uncontrolled bleeding 2. swelling in the wrist area 3. loss of sensation to the wrist/hand 4. excessive pain Photo Source: Terumo Radial (TR) Band_Compression Device Content Source: Radial Arterial Sheath Removal: AACN Procedure Manual for High Acuity Progressive and Critical Care T-D Legal Nurse Consultant is available for all your cardiology questions and needs! #attorneys #personalinjurylawyer #medicalmalpracticeattorney
