The Art of the IV Start by Bob Rynecki MS, RN, CCRN-CMC Pdf

Nurses and paramedics pass down intravenous skills to new employees as best they can, but the fine details are often missed or forgotten. Bob Rynecki, a registered nurse and an award-winning paramedic, wrote this guide so you can establish peripheral intravenous lines easily and effectively. Taking a no-frills approach, he delivers the tricks and tips that will enable you to: - become the go-to person for starting difficult IVs; - boost your confidence no matter what your level of experience; - succeed on the first stick - almost every time. Many medical professionals desperately need to learn this basic skill because it's so often overlooked in school. Many students practice starting an IV on an anatomical arm with bulging veins that doesn't mesh with what they most often find at the bedside or in the field. Drawing upon his nineteen years of experience as a bedside critical care nurse and his fifteen years of experience as an EMT/Paramedic, Rynecki shares personal stories and examples that will help you succeed in even the most challenging circumstances. Whether you're a novice or veteran clinician, you'll improve your proficiency at initiating lifelines with The Art of the IV Start.

From the Basics to Advanced techniques 3rd Edition for 2016 is New and Greatly Expanded with over 120 pages of text, graphics and illustrations to help you start IVs! Intravenous cannulation is one of the most difficult skills most RNs, LVNs and EMTs will learn. If you are scared out of your mind about starting IVs, you are not alone. It is an invasive and often painful procedure that requires both skill and practice to master. Maybe you are worried about hurting your patient. Or perhaps you are afraid of appearing incompetent in front of the patient if you are unsuccessful. All too often it seems easier to just ask someone else. Like any skill, some will be better than others. Some will learn faster, others it will take more time. Our goal is to provide you a RAPID and EASY way to master the IV stick! Not everyone will become an expert, and that's OK. But at a minimum, we want to impart every professional with the skill and confidence to start a routine, uncomplicated IV in their patient. Whether you are a new-grad who needs the essentials or a seasoned professional looking to learn some advanced techniques, everyone can always learn something new. Basics to Advanced Techniques Over 120 pages of text, graphics and pictures Gaugeschoosing the correct gauge Basic anatomy and physiology of veins Strategies to distend veins and make them Pop Out! How to choose veins which to avoid A colorful, illustrated step-by-step guide to starting a standard IV 4 methods to threading the catheter 3 approaches to inserting the needle Guide to the 'Floating technique' Visual guide to what you are doing wrong when a vein blows Finding and avoiding valves The Y-Bifurcation Inserting IVs in the elderly Vesicant medications Assortment of tips and tricks By the end you will have not just the skills to start an IV, but the confidence to go out there and give each patient your two best shots. Example Chapter Threading the catheter At this point both the tip of the needle and the tip of the catheter are inside the vein. You will now need to thread the rest of the catheter into the vein. The catheter is fully inside the vein when only the hub sticks out. There are several different methods to advancing the catheter The Two Handed Technique 1.You have already visualized flash, lowered your angle, advanced 1-2mm and released the tourniquet. 2.Continue holding the needle in place 3.With your non-dominant hand, grasp the hub of the catheter and slide it forward into the vein 4.Slowly withdraw the needle 5.Place your thumb on the hub of the catheter to hold it in place 6.Use your index finger to press down above the site to prevent blood from spilling out The Single Handed Technique 1.You have already visualized flash, lowered your angle, advanced 1-2mm and released the tourniquet. 2.Continue holding the needle in place. 3.Use the index finger of the hand that is holding the needle to slide the catheter past the needle 4.Continue sliding the catheter until it is fully inside the vein. With the above two techniques, be careful that you are only advancing the catheter into the vein and not the needle. If the catheter is inside the vein it should be relatively easy and painless to advance it. Unlike the needle, the catheter is soft and flexible so it will be difficult to slide it in unless you are inside the vein. If the flashback was very small, you may feel resistance...

IV Start Guide for Students & New Nurses: 5 Steps to Increase Competence & Confidence by Lena Empyema Pdf

In this book, you’ll find everything you need to know for successful intravenous access on a variety of patients, including in-depth explanations of common terminology and lingo common in the clinical setting, anecdotal stories, step-by-step outlines, in-depth narratives, guidelines to troubleshooting common problems associated with IV initiation, and more. 5 Steps to Mastery Between the front and back cover of this resource guide, there are five main concepts I’ll explain as if you were my student or orientee, having a conversation with me face-to-face. 1. Learn both the medical terminology and the slang. Knowing what the medical lingo means will help you absorb the most information from the anecdotes, and also sets you up for success to communicate in a professional manner in the clinical setting as a student or nurse. 2. Review the anecdotes where the IV insertion attempt is unsuccessful. This portion of the book mirrors the experience you would receive in a clinical setting if you were shadowing a nurse.Pay attention to what went wrong (explained after each anecdote) so that you know where to focus your attention when we discuss intravenous insertion in a more in-depth manner thereafter. 3. Learn about peripheral IV initiation, written as if I’m having a conversation with you face-to-face. There are plenty of textbook-style descriptions out there. I wrote in the same style I teach my students and orientees on a one-on-one basis so that you can read to retain, not just read to memorize. 4. Revisit the anecdotes and correct the problems that led to an unsuccessful IV initiation along with me. Troubleshooting along with me and thinking through how to manage certain scenarios differently to achieve a positive outcome will ingrain itself into your subconscious better than simply reading a textbook version of IV insertion, and will allow you to draw back on these hypothetical situations when you are faced with similar obstacles in the real world clinical setting. 5. Visualize your own success and apply it to the real world. When an endless supply of real people on whom to practice IV skills is not available, how do you start to build your skills? Reading this book with its conversational formatting will help you start to visualize patient care scenarios. Once you have established a mental skill set and the process is starting to become second nature, taking time to visualize an IV start from the beginning to the end will help you when you find yourself starting your first few dozen IVs in the clinical setting.

NICOMACHEAN ETHICS by Aristotle Pdf

�EVERY art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim. But a certain difference is found among ends; some are activities, others are products apart from the activities that produce them. Where there are ends apart from the actions, it is the nature of the products to be better than the activities. Now, as there are many actions, arts, and sciences, their ends also are many; the end of the medical art is health, that of shipbuilding a vessel, that of strategy victory, that of economics wealth. But where such arts fall under a single capacity- as bridle-making and the other arts concerned with the equipment of horses fall under the art of riding, and this and every military action under strategy, in the same way other arts fall under yet others- in all of these the ends of the master arts are to be preferred to all the subordinate ends; for it is for the sake of the former that the latter are pursued. It makes no difference whether the activities themselves are the ends of the actions, or something else apart from the activities, as in the case of the sciences just mentioned.�

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson Pdf

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker Pdf

"Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.
