We had a ped vs car multi trauma patient coming at 1am.
When I tried to transfer the NORAD line to our IV pump, the pump keeps showing pt occlusion, we tried to aspirate and flush the CVL and it was very easy. We ended up disconnect the line and free priming it and that's the only way to solve the problem. Very weird.
Also I get to practise how to put Jordan frame on a full spine precaution patient.
Just need to make sure the strap first go around and under the bar and facing outward. That way we can easily feed the strap to the other side. Also do the head and foot bars/straps first so it's secure.
And when we lift the patient, the traction will need to come up too, so 2 people will need to help with the traction.
Overall it was a very busy night.
Oh and I had a spooky experience for my night shift yesterday. My next door patient's phone rang at 3am, I pick it up and the reception said the patient's Dad is on the line, I told them to ring back as the main nurse is on the break.
Later then the next door nurse came back I told her that the patient's Dad rang, and she said it's impossible because the patient's Dad has passed away.... And the phone never rang again.
