QCGH 10th Area: Intensive Care Unit

Ang pinaka gusto kong area sa QCGH – ICU!

Si Ma’am Helen ang head nurse, meron silang ICU, ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit) at PD (Peritoneal Dialysis) Room. More on monitoring ang ICU at q1 ang pagkuha ng VS ng mga patient. Dagdag pa diyan ang morning care (oral care, pagpalit ng patient’s gown at bed sheet), RBS monitoring, ECG, suctioning, drugs administration (including Mannitol), lavage, gavage feeding, O2 administration, I & O monitoring. Natutunan ko rin ang pag gamit ng infusion pump (JMS). Naging patient namin sila Archie Rementilla (nagkaroon siya ng hypokalemia) at ‘yung kamag-anak ni Aling Badet (pregnancy uterine).

Plan ko mag elective training dito after ng Institutional Traning ko!
