Bleeding can happen QUICK. Especially in OB. ⁠ ⁠ With high risk surgeries, we make sure we always have sufficient IV access (large bore peripheral and central line if needed). Ensure we have a type and cross (check those antibodies if it’s a type and screen), and we even can have blood in the room in a cooler if need be. ⁠ ⁠ Keeping close track of how much blood has been lost is one of our main objectives. ⁠ ⁠ We also have to calculate the ABL (Allowable blood loss). This in short means, how many mLs of blood are we “okay” with losing before we transfuse? ⁠ ⁠ It depends on a myriad of factors but primarily cardiac status. ⁠ ⁠ Save this post for later !⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #srna #crna #dnpcrna #crnaschool #rn #rntosrna #srnatocrna #crnajourney #futurecrna #nurse⁠ #nurses #nurselife #ignurses #nursesofinstagram #nursingschool #nursingstudent #anesthesiaschool #anesthesia #anesthetist #anesthesiology #nurseanesthetist #nurseanesthesiologist #nurseanesthesiology #dnpsrna #srnalife
