A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

“We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.”
Nor- Norephinepherine increases heart rate and blood pressure.
PEEP - Positive End Expiratory Pressure - used typically on patients on a ventilator to increase oxygen
Turf-transfer patient to a different unit/facility
The last 2 sentences mean the patient is not doing well and will likely be transferred to a different place to be taken care of. Hope this helps. (I do work in medicine)
As for SAB take your pick.
Yeah, absolutely correct. SAB was intentionally unspecific, but is mostly used for Subarachnoidal bleed around here.
A turf that can`t bounce is one that can't come back. And only one department does not send patients back: The guys and gals with the freezers aka the morgue.
