Unveiling the Power of Electrode Adhesive Gel: Key Benefits Explored

Electrode adhesive gel is essential to the field of medical diagnostics and tracking because it provides precise and trustworthy results. Electrode adhesive gel improves electrode-to-skin interface & signal conduction, which ultimately increases the accuracy of diagnostic data, from electrocardiography (ECG) to electromyography (EMG) and beyond. We shall examine seven in-depth points in this extensive post that clarify the many advantages of electrode adhesive gel. With its ability to improve patient comfort and reduce skin impedance, this electrode adhesive gel is an essential part of many medical procedures that lead to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery.

Benefits of Electrode Adhesive Gel

Enhanced Fidelity and Signal Integrity: 

During diagnostic procedures, among the main advantages of electrode adhesive gel is its capacity to enhance fidelity and signal quality. Insufficient conductive gel at the electrode-skin contact may cause impedance, which distorts or muffles signals when electrodes are attached to the skin. In order to minimize impedance and maximize signal conductivity, the adhesive gel acts as a conduit for electrical impulses to be transmitted across the electrode and the skin. This guarantees that the electrical activity being monitored, whether it is muscular activity in an EMG or heartbeats in an ECG, is precisely captured and reflected in the diagnostic information. Consequently, more educated choices based on trustworthy diagnostic data may be made by healthcare professionals, improving patient outcomes and care.

Increased Electrode-to-Skin Contact: 

When performing medical procedures like electrocardiograms (ECG), electroencephalograms (EEG), and electrooculograms (EOG), proper electrode positioning and skin preparation are critical aspects that impact the quality of diagnostic recordings. Through the filling in of minute defects on the skin's surface, electrode adhesive gel creates a consistent interface that minimizes air gaps and maximizes contact area, hence facilitating excellent electrode-to-skin contact. Guaranteeing a constant and dependable electrical connection between an electrode and the connective tissue underneath it enhances signal stability and lowers the possibility of motion artifacts or signal loss when recording. The adhesive gel helps doctors get clearer and better diagnostic data by improving electrode-skin contact, which assists in more accurate evaluations and plans of therapy for patients.

Reduced Skin Itching and Soreness: 

Using medical electrodes may cause skin irritation and soreness, especially after extended periods of observation or repeated applications. By forming a barrier of protection between the electrode and the skin, electrode adhesive gel can decrease friction and the chance of irritation or abrasion. Further lowering the possibility of uncomfortable side effects is the fact that a lot of adhesive gels are made with hypoallergenic chemicals that are kind to delicate skin. The adhesive gel makes placing electrodes and uses easier for patients by hydrating the skin and acting as a cushion. This improves patient experience overall and encourages greater adherence to monitoring methods.

Facilitating Long-Term Tracking: 

Electrode adhesive gel is essential for dependable electrode adhesion and signal stability over a long length of time in situations where continuous monitoring is needed, such as ambulatory ECG monitoring or sleep studies. By adhering firmly to the skin, the gel's adhesive qualities assist in keeping the electrodes in place throughout mobility or activity and stop them from moving. In busy settings where patients could be moving about or going about their regular business, this is very crucial. To further improve electrode longevity and dependability during long-term surveillance, some adhesive gels have been engineered to retain their sticky strength over time, especially in sweaty or humid environments. The adhesive gel allows stable electrode contact and transfer of signals, which makes it possible to monitor patients constantly and gives medical professionals important information about their physiological state over a longer period of time.

Compatible with a Variety of Electrode kinds and Applications: 

Electrode adhesive gel is an adaptable remedy that can be used in a number of different medical specializations and electrode kinds. The adhesive gel could boost electrode efficiency and signal quality in a variety of medical applications. These scenarios include regular ECGs using disposable foam electrodes, long-term monitoring using reusable gel electrodes, and nerve conductivity investigations using surface electrodes for electromyography (EMG). The adhesive gel can also be used with electrodes of various sizes and shapes, enabling the creation of electrode combinations that are specifically suited to the needs of a patient or their anatomy. Adhesive gel is a useful tool for medical professionals in a variety of specialties because of its flexibility, which helps them to diagnose patients as accurately as possible and provide them with excellent treatment.

Contributions to Infection Prevention Measures: 

Preventing infections is crucial in medical settings, especially when doing treatments that require contact with the skin or intrusive monitoring methods. By forming a barrier that aids in preventing microbiological contamination and patient-to-patient transfer, electrode adhesive gel may support infection control procedures. Adhesive gels could be further reduced in danger by using antimicrobial agents or additives that prevent the development of germs and fungus. Furthermore, the risk of cross-contamination among patients is reduced, and the disinfection and cleaning procedure for reusable electrodes is made simpler by using disposable adhesive gel pads or single-patient-use gel packets. The adhesive gel helps maintain a safe and clean atmosphere for patients as well as healthcare professionals by encouraging sanitary electrode-skin contact.

Increased Productivity and Workflow Optimisation: 

In healthcare environments, where the flow of patients and time-sensitive procedures are top concerns, productivity and workflow optimization are crucial factors. By expediting the electrode application procedure and lowering the need for frequent modifications or replacements, electrode adhesive gel may help to increase efficiency. It is not necessary to use extra tapes or bandages to keep electrodes in place since the adhesive qualities of the gel guarantee that they cling to the skin firmly when applied. In addition to saving healthcare professionals time, this also enhances the patient experience by reducing interruptions and delays during treatments. Moreover, electrode preparation is accelerated by sticky gel formulations that dry or set fast following application, enabling physicians to go on with diagnostic procedures swiftly and effectively. The adhesive gel helps healthcare institutions provide prompt and efficient patient care by streamlining operations and reducing procedural hold-ups.

ConclusionWith so many advantages that improve signal quality, patient comfort, and efficiency in workflow, electrode adhesive gel is a multipurpose and essential instrument in medical diagnostics and monitoring. Healthcare professionals can improve the quality of care of tens electrodes with stud they offer to patients by utilizing adhesive gel, which will eventually enhance patient outcomes and experiences.

Assassin's Encounter (Part 2)

Continued from:

Sophie's eyes fluttered open slowly, squinting against the harsh fluorescent lights shining down on her from the sterile white ceiling. As her vision came into focus, her heart started racing with panic, the frantic beeping of the ECG monitor filling the small windowless room. She tried to sit up but found her wrists and ankles bound tightly to the cold metal exam table.

The door clicked open, and Terra walked in, her slender dark fingers trailing along Sophie's pale thigh.

"Hello, my darling, welcome to the basement. like it?" Terra said softly, her full lips curling into a seductive smile.

Sophie swallowed hard. "What...what are you going to do to me?" she asked, her voice quivering.

"Shhh, don't be frightened," Terra said, circling a finger around Sophie's chest. "You see, I'm doing some… let’s say, flash course… medical training and I need a subject for practice. those stupid plastic torsos won’t do." Her hand slid higher, fingers curling around Sophie's delicate throat. "And you, my cute little assassin, are the perfect specimen for me to work on."

Sophie's pulse raced under Terra's grip, delighting the madwoman.

Terra pulled the crash cart closer, its wheels rattling on the tile floor. She reluctantly released the woman's neck to flip the defibrillator on with the beep and hum of charging capacitors. Sophie squirmed against her restraints, blonde hair splayed across the table, her lithe anatomy naked and exposed in a pathetic display.

"How long do you plan on keeping me like this!?" Sophie panted; blue eyes wide and terrified.

Terra ignored the question, focused on her task. She unscrewed the cap on a bottle of conductive gel with a soft pop. Tilting the container, she squeezed a generous dollop of translucent blue goo onto the pale curves of Sophie's heaving chest.

The assassin's breath caught at the cold sensation. Goosebumps rippled across her skin. Terra pressed the paddles to the top right and left side of Sophie's chest, framing her heart, massaging the slick gel over Sophie in firm circular motions.

"I've got you now," she murmured, speaking to the quivering cornered organ pounding between the flat metal pads.

A jolt of electricity surged through Sophie's pale body, causing it to stiffen and arch off the table. Heaving gasps filled her buzzing chest as her heart raced erratically. Terra's dark fingers adjusted the defibrillator, readying another shock.

“Wait! Wait!” Sophie screamed, back bowing as the current seared through her. The frenzied beeping of the heart monitor filled the room as a dull ache and unsteady throbbing replaced the feeling of her pulse.

Terra watched the erratic peaks on the EKG, biting her lip in anticipation. Almost there. Sophie could only take so much, and the precious thing was putting up a fight. More. She needed more. She pushed the machine to the max.

Another shock. Sophie convulsed, jaw clenching, tendons straining in her elegant neck. The erratic beeping grew more frantic, fighting against the inevitable. Sophie’s labored breaths the only steady thing going on in her body. Her pitiful eyes searching for an end.

Then finally one more shock and… success. The rapid beeps merged into one continuous tone as Sophie's tortured heart seized and fell still. Her body went limp as her consciousness slowly faded without a heartbeat. Terra grinned in triumph - she'd pushed Sophie right to the very edge. Now to train on the best canvas money can’t buy, a still heart in need.

Setting aside the defibrillator paddles by the syringes of adrenaline and atropine, Terra began chest compressions, ready to restart Sophie's helpless little heart.

The game was only just beginning. Its ending dictated by Terra’s cruelty or compassion, but one thing was for certain…

Regardless of what won out, Terra’s twisted adoration, her possessiveness over the hapless delicate little creature beneath her would ensure neither outcome lead to freedom or finality any time soon.

Mr A part 2

Disclamer - The following story contains the use of sextoys, nudity, cpr and defibs.

----------------------------------

I'm back at Mr A's office. Sitting alone in the waitingroom, wishing time moved by faster. Since i was here last, he's put up pictures. Closeups of women under his care. Intubated, defibrilated, tested.

-Lady J, please come thru. As i look up i smile from ear to ear. There he is, in all his glory. I follow Mr A into the procedure room. Just like before I see all the machines standing against the wall, but somethings different. There is a small table with different toys - You are todays experiment, he says.

Just like last time he tells me to get onto the bed and begins to strap down my chest, ties my arms to the posts beside me. Drags my body closer to the edge of the bed, and lifts my legs onto the stirrups straping them down tightly. -Just the way i like it. Now you will not be able to move or escape my tests.

Mr A gives me a big smile as he places the anasthesia mask over my face. I try to escape his grip but he just push the mask tighter on to my face. The gas fills my lungs and after a few breaths im sedated. He slowly removes the mask, exposing my open lifeless mouth . He proceeds to place the laryngoscope in my mouth and lifting my chin up to the ceiling, exposing my vocal chords. Slowly he pust the tube down and in to my lungs, inflating the balloon to stop air escaping out. He places an et tube holder and brings it under my neck connecting the straps to make sure the tube won't move out of its place. He connects me to the ecg machine and hooks me on to the ventilator, slowly turning down the sedation and bringing me back to consciousness. At first i cough but shortly after, it's like i adapt to having the tube deep down in my throat. I feel the excitement spreading through my body, from my head to my toes.

-Let's see, where do i begin? Mr A pulls the table of toys up next to the bed. Moving his hand over different clitoris stimulators, fucking machines and vibrating dildos. He picks up the clitorisstimulator, placing stimulating gel on to my clitoris. Turns the clitorissimulator on and softly place it on to my genitals. Step by step he turns up the spead. Pressing hard against my clit. With every small sucking with the clitoris stimulator I get more and more aroused. He then proceeds to insert a large vibrating dildo into my vagina, reaching far to hit my g-spot. Moving it in and out, faster and harder with every move. I have now completly reached climax and i scream out exhaustion. Feeling as if time has stoped. Fighting for each breath as im so erhilirated by the large vawe of orgasm.

Suddenly he stops and removes the dildo slowly, and sets up the handsfree fucking machine so that he can feel my breasts as the machine moves in and out of my vagina. Pounding harder and harder, starting out slow until it reaches its limit. Yet againg i get the overwhelming feeling of an orgasm rushing throu my body, making me tense up. taking my breath away.

It completely overwhelms me and slowly my heartbeat disappears, followed by a flatline on the monitor. Mr A is surprised to see that i'm drifting into cardiac arrest. He violently removes the fucking machine and proceeds to give me chest compressions. Making my whole body follow in rhythm with the deep, vigorous compressions. Stoping to whatch the monitor, but still no heartbeat. Pushing deeper and harder on to my chest.

Mr A lets go of me and bring the defibrillator over. Placing gel on to the cold metal plates. Gently placing one in between my breasts, and one under the left. Sending a jolt of electricity througout my heart, making my entire body sway in unison. For just one second Mr A sees a faint heartbeat on the monitor before it returns to flatline again. Mr A now gets on top of me to give even harder and more powerful chest compressions. He feels my ribs under his force. With every compression only going faster and faster, deeper and deeper. My eyes staring him in his face, lifeless and empty. He gets down from the bed and charge the defibrilators. Giving me incessant chocks. One after another. Returning to give me chest compressions using one hand. I feel his warm hard hand on my breasts, pushing down with all his might.

One last chock making me fly of the bed and landing hard. My heart start to beat. Mr A stands next to me, tired from his hard work. He then disconects me from the ventilator and hooks me up to an ambubag. Transfering me to a rolling bed and moving me into a large room in the back. -Here i will keep you safe, he says and conects me to a new ventilator, giving me anaesthesia and keeping me sedated for a later day.

following on from your ask about luke and his illness, i was thinking about how he would be classed as chronically ill and would require immunizations and stuff that are given to kids/elderly/chronically ill like flu shots, covid boosters etc. what if luke hates having them?? like i don’t think he’s afraid of needles but im sure he hates the side effects of the jabs (like the stiff arm feeling!!). and then you mentioned that ideally w/ his chronic illness he would need many treatments and i fully imagine him texting the gc like “sorry im gonna be late to the nxx meeting my ecg appointment is DELAYED” or rushing in desperate for food because he had to starve himself for a test ;_; the chronic illness journey isn’t fun but it’s nice to know that luke would probably be in the trenches too

irt to my last ask on luke, how i'd write his treatment, and chronic illness

HES IN THE TRENCHES TOO YEAH!!!! and oh gosh i love these scenarios and hcs. it definitely isnt fun and it isnt a walk in the park but it slowly gets integrated into his life

an alarm on his phone for taking his meds on time, having to beg off of certain hangout plans because he has a doctor's appointment, having to get a whole bunch of shots constantly, fasting before bloodwork, being frustrated with treatment plan after treatment plan....

along the lines of treatment/diagnostic woes, i used to get 243987409328 EEGs back when i was getting my own neuro condition diagnosed (it never got diagnosed....) and i like to hc now that luke hates EEGs particularly because it's SO annoying and difficult to wash the gel node things (uhhh the sticky gel they use to stick the nodes on ur head? idk what it's called) off his scalp. it's also so difficult for him to fall asleep during the Fall Asleep portion of the test. his anti epileptics meds also mess with his mood when the dosage or type changes which is, you know, kinda hellis when hes already rather paranoid thanks to his secret agent background

just in general, luke has to go through A Lot, but god. he trucks through. because it's worth it.

Code Red : Chapter 5

Getting back in the groove now, hopefully going back to work won’t completely wipe me out and I’ll still have energy to make progress. We’ll see. In the meantime, enjoy.

Story Index  

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

* * *

Anna could see nothing. Hear nothing. She felt no pain.

But she did feel something. Pressure. Deep, repetitive pressure in the centre of her chest. Enough to bend her ribs inwards easily. Chest compressions. Someone was manually pumping blood from her heart.

She was in cardiac arrest.

Is this real?

She couldn't tell. Maybe she was dreaming. She'd spent many nights dreaming of being under intensive resuscitation. CPR, defibs, artificial respiration. A whole team doing everything they could to keep her alive, to get her heart beating again.

Those dreams had never been so... terrifying. Flashes of memory, recent memory, came to mind. The gut-wrenching pain of a knife in her belly. A flood of red all around her. Carl's face, staring down at her with a fearful, heartbroken expression.

This is real.

She'd been stabbed. She'd bled out. And her heart had stopped.

More sensations. The pressure on her chest halted, then her whole body was lifted slightly, dropped a moment later. The compressions resumed, repetitive, almost hypnotic with so little else for her to sense.

A sudden spike of much more intense pressure broke through to her, on her leg. The same feeling, mirrored onto her other leg.

IO cannulas?

She must be in the trauma room now. They were arranging the rapid infuser, to give her more blood. Would it be enough? Or was it all too late? The compressions paused for a brief moment, only to resume. Something chill landed on her chest, joined by a twin a second later.

The compressions stopped again. Something landed upon the two spots, pressing hard. Paddles. The two chill squares must be gel pads. She was about to be...

A flash of white exploded in the darkness. Every muscle in her chest twitched in unison then fell still as her heart was jolted by electricity.

Defibrillated.

* * *

Carl pressed the buttons, the charge shooting between the two paddles, right through her heart. He watched her whole body spasm, as if the muscles in her chest had been plucked up then released. A short, sharp movement that spread her arms and legs wider.

He lifted the large black paddles off of the glistening orange squares, turning to look at the monitor. The ecg trace showed a large spike as the shock was displayed. It fell back to the centre line, which flattened for a second, before it returned to the chaotic squiggling that showed before the shock.

"She's still in V-fib. Push that epi and resume compressions for one minute." Carl said, prompting the team back into action. He turned to Mark. "Is someone from surgery on the way?" He asked.

The male nurse looked at him, taking an unconscious step backwards. Was he letting his emotions control him? Letting aggression into his voice?

"You called the code red, that includes a surgical consult doesn't it?" He asked again, reigning in his tone. Mark nodded. "Good, could you please find out where they are?" He said, pointing at the phone. "She doesn't have time." He whispered to himself as the nurse passed him.

Carl turned back to the trauma bed. Under the barrage of Jessica's compressions Anna's body shifted and flexed, her shoulders popping, head rocking gently beneath the mask of the ambu bag. Each time Sarah squeezed the blue bulb, Anna's chest swelled with the oxygen rich air, only for it to be pumped out by the compressions, forcing a soft huh, huh, huh, noise to emanate from her mouth.

He glanced over at the clock. 4 minutes. She's been down for 4 minutes. He grimaced, shaking his head as he reached out and grabbed her cold hand, giving her fingers a squeeze. Come on baby, come back to me.

"Charge to 300." He said to Trish, placing Anna's hand down gently on the bed before turning to grab the paddles again.

He held the paddles up as the whine behind him built, until finally it let out a double bleep.

"Everyone clear!" He announced, but the team was already raising their hands again. He planted the paddles on her chest and unleashed the second shock.

Anna twitched again as the shock coursed through her chest. Her arm flicked out to dangle from the edge of the bed. The alarm of Vfib cut out, silence reigning for a few endless seconds. Then the stretching whine began.

"Asystole." Trish muttered with a saddened moan.

Carl slammed the paddles roughly on top of the defib. "Sarah, take over compressions. I need to get her intubated."

* * *

Carl pulled open the airway drawer of the crash cart, grabbing the laryngoscope and a blade, clicking them together. He selected a 6.5 ET tube ripping the packing half open, then took a dark blue Thomas tube holder as well. He stepped around the bed, laying the tube and holder next to Anna's head. Trish had taken over compressions from Jessica, leaving Sarah still working the ambu bag. Carl opened the scope and flicked on its light, then tapped Sarah with his elbow. She gave one last hit of air then stepped to the side, dropping the bag on to the bed.

Carl slid into position, using one hand to tilt Anna head back and open her airway. He slid the blade between her gleaming teeth, mentally fighting to ignore her pale blue-grey lips. He advanced the blade, cranking back on the handle to open Anna's airway even further. Just like he had the previous weekend during their play. Again, he could see the vocal cords clearly, this time they were slack and lifeless.

"Cricoid on." He said, Sarah reaching over to press on the ring of cartilage around Anna's trachea, occluding the oesophagus behind. The last thing Anna needed right now was to aspirate. Sarah's other fingers helped to steady Anna's head as the compressions continued unabated.

Carl held the scope steady as he pulled the tube out of its packaging, shifting it in his fingers to line it up properly. He took a deep steadying breath, then plunged the tube into Anna's mouth, sliding it along the blade and pushing the tip between her vocal cords and into her trachea. She made no reaction. He eased it further into her airway, until the line marking 20cm was level with her teeth.

"I'm in, get that bag on!" He pulled the scope out, casting it to the side as he grabbed his stethoscope. Sarah removed the mask, connecting the bag to the tube and pumping it smoothly. Carl pressed his steth to Anna pale flesh, avoiding the electrodes, gel pads, and Trish's interlaced fingers as he moved the bell around after each breath. He clearly heard the steady whoosh of each breath entering and inflating Anna's lungs. It was the only sound he heard. Her heart lay silent and unmoving within her chest. "Good position."

He hung the stethoscope around his neck then picked up the tube holder, unravelling the strap and unwinding the plastic screw. He slipped it over tube, easing the integrated bite block between Anna's teeth and settling the foam rim over her mouth. "Where's that surgeon!" He shouted over his shoulder as he fed the plastic guide on the strap underneath Anna's neck, pulling it through and poking it through the clip. He secured the strap, then started to spin the screw to fully secure the breathing tube. "Well?" He finally looked over at Mark.

"They're saying she's already down here." The nurse said, looking fearful.

Carl shook his head, biting his lip. It wasn't Mark's fault. He had to remember that. He looked towards the trauma room doors. He knew where the surgeon would be. He felt his anger rising as he thought about who the surgeon would be looking at. "Trish." He said, his voice going cold, hard as steel. "I'll take over. Go to trauma 2. Bring that surgeon. Drag her here if you have to. On my authority." Other than the asystolic nurse on the table, Trish had the highest seniority. With his orders it would hopefully be enough. He straightened up, bringing his hands together. Trish waited for him to nod and pulled away.

Carl's hands landed on Anna's sternum. So cold. He drove the thought away, along with his fear, pushing them both into his hands, using them, to cave her chest inwards and squeeze her heart.

* * *

Trish was barely hanging on. She'd just given the most intense compressions she ever had. Her best friend’s life literally in her hands. And now she had to go and potentially argue with the clinical lead of the emergency department. She staggered back from the trauma bed, watching Anna's body shudder under Carl's, under her boyfriend’s, brutal chest compressions. She couldn't give anything less. A steel she never realised she possessed ran through her veins. Her trembling hands stilled. The tears prickling her eyes cut off as if a tap had been closed. She spun on her heels, storming through the doors of the trauma 3, and God himself help whoever got in her way.

She crossed the corridor in three strides, channelling an action hero as she kicked open one half of the paired doors. Her eyes took in the entire room in a quick scan, locking on the lone green scrubbed individual. The others were busy, but not "our patient is actively dying" busy. The green scrubbed doctor was talking with Dr Stelling, standing by the lightboxes where a series of x-rays were displayed. Stelling could be fearsome. Yet right now, something far worse was happening a dozen paces directly behind Trish. Stelling could rage and rant, and Trish knew she would stand fast. It would have been intoxicating, if it wasn't so necessary.

Trish walked over, dodging around Kristie, who only just caught the look on her face and pulled up short, but too late to intercept the determined nurse. Trish drew level with the pair of doctors and didn't wait on propriety. She sidestepped in front of Stelling, facing the surgeon with a quick glance down at the name tag.

"Dr Edwards. You are needed in Trauma 3. Now." Trish said in a clear voice.

The nurse knew it was coming. "Excuse me Nurse Fielding!" Dr stelling exclaimed. "Dr Edwards is presently occup..."

Trish spun blazing with justified insubordination. "Your patient is stable. Yes?" She said, her voice low, yet also carrying right the way across the trauma room. "Dr Teague's patient is not." She turned her back on Stelling once more. "You are needed Doctor." Each word was stressed and sent a shiver down the spine of every medical professional present. It wasn't something anyone could specifically identify. But it was clear all the same. Something terrible was happening.

The surgeon stared at her for just a moment, then nodded. They both moved, Trish and Dr Edwards, at the same time, leaving Stelling behind.

"What patient?!" Stelling shouted after them.

Trish didn't answer. There was nothing she could say that wouldn't cause the entire team to rush to Trauma 3. She wouldn't blame them. The hate she felt for the barely conscious figure on the bed of trauma 2 was new to her. But it was still a barely unsurmountable obstacle. Technically nurses didn't take an oath to do no harm. But it was implied, and there were certain codes of conduct. Right that moment, Trish would have happily walked over and personally throttled the scum who had attempted to murder her friend. He may yet have succeeded.

* * *

Carl couldn't look down. If he looked down he would see her. Anna. Lifeless, intubated, her heart forced to beat by his own hands. They'd both wanted this, Anna especially. But not like this. They'd wanted a clean fantasy. No danger. No risk. This was nothing like that.

This was real.

Her heart had come to a complete standstill.

If he failed to keep forcing her sternum down, squashing her heart against her spine, sending blood through her body, she would die.

His eyes looked around the trauma room, trying to find anything else to focus on. The big screen of the monitor showed a flatline above the slight pulses his compressions caused. The clock showed him that she had been without a pulse for 7 minutes already.

His gaze locked on the doors. He needed a surgeon. Without someone to stem the bleeding, he couldn't save her. He knew some procedures. He was already tempted to use them. But they wouldn't make any difference if she was still haemorrhaging from her abdomen. He knew the theory, where everything should be. But he didn't have the practice, and there were definitely blood vessels spilling out where they shouldn't. Maybe he'd seal the right vessel, eventually, after wading through the freely flowing blood.  But by then though, Anna would be ... gone.

He concentrated on giving her the best compressions he could. Deep. Fast. Steady. His stethoscope flicked and bounced as it hung around his neck, distracting and irritating. He transitioned to one handed compressions for just long enough to pull away the steth and cast it onto the bed beside Anna’s gently rocking head.

Finally, he saw a flicker of movement in the corridor. Trish's blue scrubs, closely followed by surgical green. The surgeon came through the doors backwards, peeling off her gloves as she did, heading for the bin without even looking over.

"This had better be good Carl. Pissing off Stelling rarely ends well." Edwards commented as she dumped her gloves and took a new pair from the box on the wall. She turned to look at the bed and stopped, eyes widening as she saw the sky blue of the cut scrubs beneath the naked body on the bed.

"It's Anna." Carl told her, almost choking on the words.

Edwards looked at him, and the nurses, seeing their expressions. She advanced on the bed, shaking off the shock and becoming clinical. "What happened?"

"Two stab wounds to the lower right abdomen. She lost at least 2 litres of blood. Hypovolemic shock leading to cardiac arrest. She's been down for 8 minutes." Carl managed to say as he kept thrusting his hands down between Anna's breasts. "You need to stop the bleeding so we can restore her volume."

Put like that, it sounded simple. Except none of them had any idea of precisely what the damage was. If it could even be fixed, let alone if it could be fixed in time to save her.

Edwards didn't say anything, she skirted around the bed, waving Lucy out of the way. The large gauze pad had soaked through with Anna's blood, overwhelmed to the point that it had run down her side, forming a crimson circle on the white sheet beside her. Edwards peeled away the gauze, letting out a grimacing moan.

"Cross match on the way?" She asked, probing the wounds.

"Yes, FFP and TXA too." Carl told her. Edwards nodded.

"Good. There's at least one arterial bleed. I'll need to open it up wider to see just how bad it is."

"Do it."

Selecting an Appropriate Electrocardiograph

The electrical activity of the heart is graphically represented by an electrocardiograph, or ECG system. Electrodes positioned on the skin’s surface gather this activity. Electrocardiography analysis may identify cardiac issues such as an arrhythmia, coronary artery blockage, damaged heart muscle, dilated heart volume, and/or recent or continuing heart attacks.Ecg electrodes exporters India serves as an essential component for electrocardiogram, or ECG, testing, is one such crucial product.

La doctora clara

narramos esta histora con un poco de contexto.

naira una dragona que vive en un pueblo lejano dentro del hospital (en el tiene havitaciones para enoleados ademas de los enfermos), trabaja como enfermera con la doctora clara, una muner alta de pelo blanco y liso de personalidad firme y segura de si misma, y trabaja a su manera.

la historia comiensa en una jornada en el hospital nereida, naira terminando su jornada se preparava para ir a su habitacion en el hospital, ero la dorctora la ve algo decaída

ella menciona

-naira, a los empleados tanto enfermera y doctores tienen que darse un chequeo y veo que te falta a ti realisar tu chequeo obligatorio-

naira respode - ¿enserio? disculpa estoy mas cansada de lo abitual el dia de hoy-

-o te preocupes deja darte ese, chequeo-

lleva a naira a un salon de edición, abitacion de 4 x 4 m cada pared, 1 camilla y algonos aparatos especiales.

la doctora le entrega a naira una blusa de pasiente, se asemeja a una bata llarga color celeste casi morado y se reacuesta en la camilla.

la doctora le conbersa - bien naira te dare tu chequeo-

-esto, es la primera ves que me revisan así jeje-

-no te preocupes, revisare tu estado- (le tantea la frente, los brasos y despeja un poco su pecho) -perimo escuchare tu corazón-

naira se pone nerviosa por que le escuchen el corazón, respira con un poco de emoción - s-si-

la doctora nota qie su corazón se acelera un poco -m.. jiji, se acelero un poco, nervios?-

naira se avergüenza

clara va pasando el estetocupio escuchando los lugares de su pecho asta encontrar donde se escucha más fuerte, su corazon late rapido dentro de lo normal pero algo débil.

-parese que tengo que revisar mas tu corazón-

-si?, que cosas se hara?- pregunta naira

-continuare comprovando su resistencia- clara preciona en el lugar donde golpea con mas fuerza su corazón acelerandolo un poco más (120lpm)

naira respira levemente pesado, mientras la doctora preciona un poco más viendo su emoción del corazón.

continuo con la siguiente prueba, trajo el eco, lo intala y le coloca a naria el gel en su pecho. empeso a revisarlo viendo como late su corazón.

naira pregunta -que es lo que ve?-

-tu corazón al parecer nesesita tratamiento y are otras pruebas para comprovarlo jeje no te preocupes-

ve en la pantalla del eco el corazón laiendo a unos 130 lpm y en momentos puntuales se trava.

la doctora cambia de máquina y trae el de electrodos, limpia su pecho y le coloca un electrodo sobre el corazón y otro en el costado de su pecho. activa la maquina y la programa para controlar los latidos de naira, lo regula para que lata a 150lpm.

la respiracion de naira se agita un poco al sentir su corazón manipulado. mientras trascurre el tiempo va aumentando la velocidad... 170lpm... 190lpm... 200lpm... al llegar a 200 naira se agita mucho.

-m-mi corazón anda muy... rápido-

clara obserba el pecho de naira golpear con fuerza, y al ver que le dificulta respirar, le coloca a naira una mascarilla e aire.

clara apaga los electrodo y se lo retira de su pecho, le coloca el ECG, su corazon se taca más veses.

-te dare un medicamento- dise clara sacando una aguja y se lo da en el brazo un poco de afrenalina, haciendo que el corazón lata a 220 lpm y en aumento.

naira repida rápido y cortante.

clara dise - te pondre un metodo nuevo espero que esto regule tu corazón-

naira asiente y se deja atender

clara saca una aguja de aculpuntura y sa la entierra en su pecho sonde va su corazón, al soltarlo se ve como la aguja palpita al ritmo de su altido a 240lpm. le pone un cable a la aguja y le da un chockeléctricos probocando que el corazón ande irregular, hace pausa de 30 segundo y late a 270lpm... clara preciona dos dedo en donde latu su corazón y proboca que lata 300 lpm por unos segundos.

le da otro chock, dando una pauda de 1 min casi y volver a latir con algo de arritmia.

clara le quita la aguja y le epiesa a dar RCP para completar el tratamiento.

las maquinas disen Bip Bip en cada comprensión.

naira con la vista algo nuvlada y débil siente como le ayudan que que su corazón lata, lo regula como unos 140 lpm.

al terminar clara ausculta a naira comprovabdo que este bien, esta debil pero late normal y con ritmo.

-bien naira descansa ya emos terminado asique re cubriré y te reviso mañana okey?- dise clara a naira

naira descnasa de momento terminando asi esta mini historia que podria tener un continuara

[perplexingluciddreams]

my "seizures" are apparently not typical because i'm aware and conscious during them.

but still having them every few minutes and getting stuck in between too.

they did an ECG to check my heart is ok. i got stickers with wires put on me and i took pictures

the second two pictures were taken after the wires were taken off. i have another picture but i don't have my top on in it so i'm not posting it here.

i got to peel the stickers off myself and i am keeping them. they had a weird gel on them that was on my skin afterwards. but they weren't too annoying and it was over quickly. i get the blood pressure cuff twice as well and i don't like that but it was not too awful.

the doctor is speaking to other doctors from neurology and they might come and see me in a bit but i have to wait now. i have my phone and AAC and marmalade my teddy and dad is here so i'm ok even though this is horrible.

Preparation for the Exam: The specific preparation for your ultrasound will depend on the type of examination. For instance, if you’re having an abdominal ultrasound, you may need to fast for a few hours before the appointment. The sonographer will provide clear instructions in advance, so you know how to prepare.

Gel Application and Scanning: During the ultrasound, the sonographer will apply a special gel to the area being examined. This gel helps transmit sound waves and allows for clear images to be produced. The sonographer will then use a handheld device called a transducer to capture images and gather information.

Comfort and Communication: Throughout the procedure, the sonographer will guide you through different positions and may ask you to take deep breaths or hold your breath briefly. Communication is key during the exam, so don’t hesitate to let the sonographer know if you’re uncomfortable or need a break.

Duration of the Exam: The length of the ultrasound exam varies depending on the type of ultrasound and what needs to be examined. Most ultrasounds are relatively quick, typically taking 20-45 minutes.

How to Prepare for Your Ultrasound:

Follow Pre-Exam Instructions: Make sure to carefully follow any pre-exam instructions provided by our team. This may include fasting or arriving with a full bladder, depending on the type of ultrasound.

Wear Comfortable Clothing: Opt for loose and comfortable clothing that can be easily adjusted to expose the area to be examined. You may be provided with a gown to wear during the procedure.

Bring a Support Person: You’re welcome to bring a friend or family member with you for support if you wish. Having someone familiar with you can help ease any anxiety.

Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask any questions or express concerns before or during the exam. Our sonographers are here to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Mr A part 1

Disclaimer - this story contains nudity and scenarios of cpr and defibrillation

——————————-

The waitingroom is cold and empty. No photos on the walls. Dark tinted windows. There is just an old and worn down chair standing by the wall. Mr A suddenly calls my name, there he stands in the doorway. In blue paper scrubs and a blue bouffant cap. - Please come in, you can get undressed over there and put on this gown. He gives me a white paper gown and then watch me as I get undressed and put the gown on. He then shows me in to the exam room. He gives me a green bouffant to wear aswell.

There is different medical equipment all along the walls, a ventilator, monitoring, defibrillator, and in the center of the room there is a big bare exam bed. The bed is cold, giving me goosebumps all over. Excitement spreads all throughout my body. Mr A tells me to move further down the bed. He then proceedes to strap down my legs in the stirups. He places a big strap across my chest. Tells me to lay my arms out on the armrests and straps those down as well.

Mr A then starts to examine me starting on my belly, presses hard and measures. Examine my breasts, measures and feel, then he place suction cups on them, making my nipples firm and sensitive. He then place a speculum into my vagina, opening very slowly. I feel my vagina spread open more and more as he openthe speculum step by step. After close inspection he removes it again, very slow. Mr A then procedes to sedate me, he places a mask over my face and strokes my hair. -There you go, just breathe in and relax.

I take a few deep breaths and I start to get dizzy, I feel my eyes starting to drift away. Mr A then intubates me with an LMA. I feel the tube go down my throat and i can feel it resting softly in my pharynx. Mr A secures the LMA with soft, white tape. He then place tape over my eyes to keep them closed. Im in a sedated yet conscious state, it exhilitares me. Makes my nipples stiff and makes my vagina moist. But what now, my heart starts to flutter. Mr A uses his stethoscope to listen to my heart, he's concerned. He places ecg electrodes over my bare chest. The noise from the ecg machine only makes my heart flutter even more. Suddenly it stops..

Mr A then tears my paper gown apart and removes the strap. He interlocks his fingers over my breastbone and starts to count out loud, pressing down on my chest deep and fast. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

But nothing changes. he's pushing harder and deeper, counting loudly. My breasts move to the rhythm of the compressions. Mr A decides to get the defibrilator, placing some gel on the paddles and then placing one paddle on my chest and one paddle on the side of my abdomen.

CLEAR!

The chock makes my entire body move, my chest is raised of the bed and as i fall back on the bed my large breasts wobble. Mr A is not happy with just one chock, my heart is still not responding. He places the paddles on my chest once again and gives me a higher charged chock. My chest moves even higher and as i fall back to the bed my large breast moves even more.

He then disconects me from the ventilator and proceeds to hyperventilate me with the ambu bag. My chest and belly move in rythm with each breath. In and out, up and down. He reconnects me to the ventilator and return to those deep, fast and vigorous chest compressions. Making my large breasts and large belly go up and down. He tries with one last fully charged defibrilation and my whole body moves with the chock. The next few seconds moves by in slow motion, second by second my breasts move slowly up and down as a result of the last chock. like an aftermath.

I slowly return to a conscious state and Mr A is standing over me, stroking my head and i can see he is smiling under the facemask. - How was that darling? I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

Even tho I was sedated i felt as if I was concious and experienced every thing he did to me. Every vigorous compression, every loaded chock, every breath, the LMA resting deep in my throat. ----------------------------------- This story is made up by me
