Hi,
I'd like to know what the consensus is out there as far as stepping out of the room while the pt. is on CPB?
I know of many places that do this, and even in my place the surgeon even tells us when it's okay to step out for a few minutes or what not.
And in a place where it practically impossible to get a food break (breakfast/lunch whatever) let alone a pee break, CPB is the only time to step away throw some quick glucose/amino acids into my system and come back.
The danger of working with low blood glucose levels vs.... what?
Please, I'd like to get some opinions on this.
For the record, I don't step out of the room because I don't know... feels weird but many others that I know in different practices do.
I just need some valid logic/reasoning before I figure out how I want to proceed down the line. I just want to know what most other people out there do in this particular scenario.
Thanks.
