Sam Norwich Hospital Fears Health Care Reform

The issue of government lead medical insurance reform has hospital administrators shaking in their boots and I don't know why. What is the downside for hospitals? I mean, more insured patients should mean better cash flow, fewer write-offs, and therefore more stability for the hospitals? Is the fear based on price setting or something I am missing? What do the rest of you think? I happen to think the proposed ref… Continue

J. D'Urbano GlideScope Video Laryngoscope - It Makes a WORLD of Difference

First, and foremost, let me start off my saying I'm not a sales person of any kind. I am, however, an avid fan of airway management, as many of us are, so I thought I'd share with you my recent experiences with the GlideScope Video Laryngoscope.

What is written here is of my own personal opinion, and that opinion has been formed based on my personal experiences, and research that I have done during my own personal time. This is a shortened version of one of the chapters of the book I’ve been trying to write for the past few years. I hope to have it completed by the middle of 2010. As always I… Continue

J. D'Urbano Capnography - The "Other" Vital Sign (Part-1)

Capnography refers to the amount and concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured in exhaled gas. But to understand capnography you must first understand that oxygenation and ventilation are two entirely different parameters. While it’s true that they are both related to the respiratory system the two parameters are not related, nor is one affected by the other because they are referring to two very different mechanisms. Oxygenation refers to the amount of oxygen pr… Continue

J. D'Urbano Hail to the Duck - A Little Senseless Babbling...

I recently answered a question from another blog site about a favorite movie quote. That was an easy one. The quote was from a 1978 movie called Convoy, in which actor Kris Kristofferson played a truck driver nick-named ‘the Rubber Duck’. He was asked why the Rubber Duck. His answer was something like “well, my daddy always told me to be like a duck. Stay smooth on the surface, and paddle like the devil underneath”. I never forgot that, and I almost live by that to this very day. Here’s an examp… Continue
