    if you are treating a patient, you NEED to wear gloves…period!

    Pretty sure the nurse was checking pulse, not inserting IV, around 0:09 and 0:26 you can see everything already on the arm.

    How many of you morons are licensed practitioners?!

  9. TheLeopleurodon Says:

    flail chest is when you have two or more ribs broken in two or more places. the ribs can rub against the lungs and heart and cause internal injury.

  10. TheLeopleurodon Says:

    you need to wear gloves when inserting an IV or anytime that you could come into contact with blood or body fluids. standard precautions against blood-borne pathogens.

  11. zabdiellagunaloire Says:

    no need for gloves when inserting iv…

  12. mysteryseb Says:

    0:38 Check out how that nurse is putting an IV in with no gloves on, wow!

  13. Pritolus Says:

    If we’re talking first aid the best thing to do is tape the “flailing part” to reduce movement. I’ve heard that flailchest is very painful, and the lesser the movement the lesser the pain.

    omg, that was weird. and yet, it was awesome!!!

  15. xxzorritoxx Says:

    i’m guessing the bulky dressing was from a chest tube that was inserted to drain fluids from the plura to avoid the lung from collapsing….

  16. Uprock415 Says:

    Looks nuts! Would a bulky dressing help in this situation or just pressure bandaging?

  17. pakolayts Says:

    treatment for this is putting clips/hooks on the detached ribs to prevent lung/heart puncture due to paradoxical motion (broken parts moves in during inhalation then moves out in exhalation)

    Dear god someone just help him, I cannot bare to watch this anymore. Poor fella

  19. medicgirl99 Says:

    treatment for a flail chest would be applying pressure to the flail area to prevent the broken segment from moving so much. PPV could cause a lung puncture or pneumo.

    It’s not a piano, it’s the heart monitor in the backround!!

  21. alvin032176 Says:

  22. miessau0 Says:

    CPAP! PLEASE

  23. 91Vodka Says:

    Oh, I have had flail chest like four times. It’s not that bad. I walked it off and was back to work the next morning.

  24. ice7lax9ball Says:

    i think they usually hook the broken ribs and the rig up some kind of pully weight system to pull the ribs back so that they dont move with the lung. haha
