Never knew that poor pad contact could cause arcing and lead to a fire. I just thought it would be an ineffective shock. Makes sense though that it could cause a burn and be an ignition source

When i was in EP the other day, we kept defibing a guy with chest/back hair and burnt hair smell started to permeate the room. Now i know i dodged a fire.

" Do NOT disconnect Ambu®-bag from ETT during shock (Resuscitation 2015;95:100-47; Resuscitation 2010;81 Suppl 1:e71-85) "

Seem like that's what a lot of people do!

I find that pretty bizarre, but we all do strange things under pressure.

I have another one for you... This morning I connected the Mac blade and pinched the heel of my hand. When I switched hands to get it off, the light (LED not standard bulb) shined directly in my eyes. After soldiering through that, I opened the patients mouth and they hadn't flossed for days. I intubate and go to inflate the cuff and the syringe rolls off the bed and into the floor. I get the patient settled and the surgeon finishes 15 min early, so I didn't get to finish my WSJ article. And I just found out that yours truly isn't getting my mid-mid morning break. I probably won't even get to the lake until noon
