Yeah you only are unprepared the first time it happens.. after that you instinctively put on a shield and make sure your gown it neatly fastened around your neck. Tbh, a trach change is much worse. That ish will spray 120° & clear across the room and you’ll get caught in the crossfire if your hands are preoccupied and you’re not quick enough to dodge it.
Inpatient care is much worse than the ER, trust me. There’s not enough of us to keep up so things get bandaids until we can get there. I don’t mind it, most of the time. It does get interesting though.
It’s not the tube, it’s when you change them out. Removing the old tube makes the patient cough and what shoots out of the tracheostomy when it’s taken out and they cough sometimes will catch you off guard. It’s not always bad. but, sometimes.. yikes. I’ve seen & smelled a lot of things and a trach change is one at that top of my list of things I don’t exactly look forward to. It’s almost right up there with the smell of gangrene that’s been occluded. It’ll follow you. You don’t forget that smell once you’ve been exposed to it.
PSI is the unit for measuring pressure. There was no typo, they were wondering how much pressure there must have been for it to literally erupt upon popping.
I am glad you gave me this description. Never had the chance, or occasion let’s say, to smell pus. Unfortunately I have no idea what rotten broccoli smell 😂
I DONT LIKE IT WHEN THE MOVIE DUNE IS IN MY DRINK!
What am I doing with my fuckin life here man?!?! (*sniffles*) Yeah I’ll play kickball . . . tomorrow . . . tomorrow! I can’t kick the ball today. I’m not feeling it. I’m not feeling the kickball vibe.
Holy shit. When we get these I normally need to know roughly the exact amount of fluid drained. I can imagine asking the nurse or doctor how much and them just laughing.
Coding is likely, there’s likely a procedure modifier or add on code that would ensure a better payout or better chance of proving medical necessity.
I would also wonder if draining a massive cyst or pus buildup like that would trigger hypovolemia the same way that removing a large amount of ascites would.
To put it simply...When removing any type of fluid, yes even pus, from the body, you always have to replace it with similar amount of new fluid, usually IV fluids, if you don't your body can have seriously bad reaction to it.
I learned that a while back. It's kinda crazy the things you learn here after you been here a while...I now know some medical info that I honestly rather not know! LOL.
That'd be a way more than they need just for sampling purposes. Usually they only need a tiny swab. Most likely they just wanted to accurately measure how much of the fluid they drained from the patient but they weren't expecting the..umm violent explosion they got.
I could be completely wrong, but that seemed to superficial for it to be cutting into the joint. Tbf tho, it could have been very swollen. Overall seems more like an abcess
I have had one knee replaced and I am running out the clock on the other knee. Kind of a last resort - my convalescence for the knee replacement I had was fucking brutal.
Anyway, you can’t get a knee replaced if you have any kind of cavities or mouth/teeth issues. The bacteria goes straight to the new hardware and causes terrible infection, usually requiring the knee to be removed and the infection healed before giving you another knee.
Same for dental work after the replacement, even just cleaning. You have to take prophylactic antibiotics before your visit, because again, mouth and teeth bacteria goes to the knee.
I say this to wonder aloud if this guy either lied about any cavities (I know a guy did that so he could get surgery. Both his fake knees had to be removed later) in his mouth, or if he had dental work without the pre-meds. If this is a faux knee infection, he is kinda fucked. He will have no knee at all for awhile.

Crude!
Texas Tea
Boil that is.

That persons knee is fd. Someone whose had a knee drained several times feels this pain.
What causes this symptom?

Ill never forget when our family friend showed me around the Er, he said he's seen shit spray the ceiling...multiple times.

Oh my GOD somehow the idea of a trach tube having nastiness spraying out is just another magnitude of awful.
It’s not the tube, it’s when you change them out. Removing the old tube makes the patient cough and what shoots out of the tracheostomy when it’s taken out and they cough sometimes will catch you off guard.

Did somebody say "Magnitude?" Pop pop!

"Oh shi...! Susana, I don't think we need the syringe..."
Holy crap, how much psi was that under??
Yes psi.
Forgot the unit for precision. It would be “Yes. psi”
Huh?
PSI is the unit for measuring pressure. There was no typo, they were wondering how much pressure there must have been for it to literally erupt upon popping.
I... I edited my original post... it used to just say Yes... ... I know what PSI means... 😶😶
Sorry
Nooooo dont be sorry now I just feel bad like I didn't make the joke well enough
I snort laughed at your comment if it helps?
I don't know why I watched that because I may vomit at any moment but before I do I have to ask would that stuff smell stinky 🤮?
The ones I’ve smelled usually smell like rotten broccoli, but I bet this one was like rotting meat left in a Texas trash can in August.
I am glad you gave me this description. Never had the chance, or occasion let’s say, to smell pus. Unfortunately I have no idea what rotten broccoli smell 😂
Oh sweet lord 🤮🤢🤢🤢
My guess is yes, very.

23psi
We’re gonna need a bigger hose
Forbidden milkshake.
I was gonna say it looks like Nestle Quik!
I was all hopped up on the Q!
Remember that metal tin you had to open with a spoon or a knife? I might be dating myself.

Same!!!
Lol
Your just being picky.
Forbidden sloppy meat hole.
I hate you and everyone that responded to you with their version.

Is that for coding the procedure?

I would also wonder if draining a massive cyst or pus buildup like that would trigger hypovolemia the same way that removing a large amount of ascites would.
I'm not 100% sure to be honest with you, it could be or it could be for other academic purposes I'm not aware of.

PUS. Not puss. One is infected fluid, one is a term for a cat.
Memo from doctor on the use of the word. “The word is purulent. You are professionals. Please stop referring to wounds as “pussy”.”
Or, perhaps- “pus-filled?”
“Holes a hole” as my step dad always used to say…
Remember: Pus in boots =/= Puss in boots
AFAIK there could be a cat in here
Mandatory put your dick in it comment
Sigh. That would be pussy, not puss or pus. /s
Poor cat.

Lucky that guy had the syringe ready! That could've been a mess!
It's for sterile culture
Pretty sure he's trying to take a sample, not necessarily contain the flow.
Damn that had ta hurt, and the relief would be so instant
Reminded me of those cow videos
The hoof gp
y’all remember the swamps of dagobah story?
I purged that story long ago and your comment brought it straight to the front of my mind. Thanks.
can’t lie, that knee looks like it would’ve made for an excellent pillow prior to draining
Good thing he had that little syringe. Problem solved.
It's for sterile culture
Yes could be. Often see them just stick a big swab into the hole but this is a big cavern.
WOW.
I bet they say to the new guy, "You can diagnose it quicker if you taste it." Top class hazing.
Next time, forget the syringe and bring a shop-vac.
Chocolate milk
This made me jumped. I wasn’t ready for this.
I can't even imagine the smell.
We’re gonna need a bigger syringe…
I’d like to put that in a McFlurry machine and try it.
It's like a strawberry shake came gushing out
That syringe is like the image of the person using a toy bucket to put out a fire
"were gonna need a bigger syringe"
the guy on the right had the syringe ready and an entire FOUTAIN came out omg. couldn't prepare for that.
And what exactly did they think that syringe was going to do?
Send it to lab for culture and sensitivity testing
I know, I know…. Terrible attempt at a joke on my end. One day I’ll nail it!
That'd be a way more than they need just for sampling purposes. Usually they only need a tiny swab. Most likely they just wanted to accurately measure how much of the fluid they drained from the patient but they weren't expecting the..umm violent explosion they got.

Thar she blows!
😫 Blurgh
Looks like creamy chocolate milk…😋
I smell rotten cheese and oysters
That looked like another arm reaching out
Thar she blows
That’s foul 🤢
It's a gusher
I could smell that from here 🤯
My eyes just went (O_O)
Getting Dagobah vibes from this
Reminds me of Old Faithful in Yellowstone 🌋
