I am not a nurse, and if this isn’t allowed then feel free to delete! My wife is graduating nursing school in a couple of weeks, she is an LPN, but now she’ll be an RN. The last time she went to school, I didn’t have a job, and I was unable to buy her anything special for her pinning. This year, however, I have a really good job, and I want to get her something big. For the past like three years, she’s been hinting at wanting a fancy stethoscope, specifically one of the electronic ones. And since she’s planning on going back to school again in the next year, I want to get it for her. However, there are so many options… and I’m trying to decide between two of them. I’m currently going between the Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope or the Eko CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope. I guess I’m mostly wondering if anyone else has used one before, and which one you prefer. If it helps, she works at a hospital as a float pool nurse and kinda works everywhere. submitted by /u/Putrid_Cucumber_6732 to r/nursing [link] [comments]

... this was the best pun I could come up with I'll behave now. Anyway, these are some medical supplies I would consider keeping stocked as an emergency medicine physician. My inclusion criteria: Widely available Easy to learn and use Reasonably addresses most low acuity problems Obligatory disclaimers: This is NOT one size fits all advice. This is NOT an all inclusive list, but more of a starting point. This is NOT a how-to guide for using tourniquets, etc. These recommendations are based on my opinion. Other physicians may disagree. I have no affiliations with any of the products or organizations in this list and therefore, no conflicts of interest to report. (But I’d like some!) This post is strictly for medical supplies. You can find my post about which medicines to stock here. I am very much open to constructive criticism. Please let me know what you think and I will edit this post accordingly, denoting those edits. Skills - START HERE How to take vital signs Red Cross First Aid Red Cross CPR Red Cross AED DOD/W Stop the Bleed My notes: When you panic, people die. Learn these skills - they are more important than having most of the supplies on this list. Learn how to take vital signs. Be sure to sign up for courses sponsored by official organizations: Red Cross for the First Aid, CPR, AED. DOD/W for Stop the Bleed. Basic and Expanded First Aid Kit American Heart Association and American Red Cross Ait Kit See itemized list of supplies in Tables 2 & 3. Download article as a PDF for free. Special considerations for emergency kits for people with disabilities My notes: You could theoretically stop here and still be "ahead" of many households. Water My notes: Experts and organizations smarter than me recommend storing 1 gallon/4 liters or water per human per day, for a minimum of 3 days supply. You may need more for irrigating wounds, eyes, washing hands, etc. Store what you think is reasonable. General Can opener Nail clippers Scissors Fine “grabber” (i.e. tweezers) Heavy-duty “grabber” (i.e. Kelly clamps/hemostats, needle-nose pliers) Thermometer (analog and/or digital) Blood pressure cuff (analog and/or digital) Stethoscope Pulse oximeter (can get HR too) Medical tape Garbage bags Sharpie My notes: Stock multiples. Don’t skimp on the scissors (I like Cutco). Have a favorite implement for removing tiny things like splinters and ticks. Have something stronger to remove nails or projectiles. Learn how to use an analog BP cuff (you’ll need a stethoscope). Automatic BP machines are easier to use but can overestimate BP, especially on the wrist, and require batteries. Garbage bags to sequestrate medical waste and body fluids. Sharpie is for marking time of tourniquet application, monitoring extent of cellulitis, etc. Wound Care and Bleeding Control Shears (blunt tip, blade < 4 cm from the pivot) Band-Aids (various sizes, include waterproof) Tube Gauze (various sizes) Non-adherent gauze (various sizes or cut to size) ACE bandages Petroleum Jelly Tourniquet Skin stapler My notes: You could buy the Leatherman “Raptor” shears with the holster and you will look cool but you don’t necessarily need these. Just know how to cut clothing or bandages to expose a wound (the fewest, fastest lines possible). If you’re worried about carving someone out of body armor, cut the thinnest sections of the shoulder straps and cummerbund. In general, cover a wound with non-adherent gauze, then wrap with tube gauze, then ACE bandage to secure. Having a windlass tourniquet (i.e. CAT) and knowing how to use it can absolutely save lives. Petroleum jelly has many uses including for treating burns. There is no evidence that hemostatic agents like QuikClot work better than direct pressure. I have never seen a patient and thought, “thank God he used QuikClot.” Yet, I am not aware of it causing more harm than good, either. See a comment I made on a different post about how to use the skin stapler. Personal Protective Equipment Disposable gloves Masks (disposable procedure masks, N95 respirators) Eye protection (goggles, safety glasses) My notes: Get whichever gloves you aren’t allergic to (i.e. Nitrile). From my perspective, the eye protection is to guard against splashes, not projectiles. Disinfection and Hygiene Isopropyl alcohol Alcohol swabs Hydrogen peroxide (keep it sealed in dark container or it decomposes into water) Betadine Hand sanitizer Soap (I like Dial) Baby wipes (unscented) Squirt bottle or irrigation syringe kit (pressure irrigation for lacerations, wounds, etc) My notes: Don’t neglect your hygiene when possible. Isopropyl alcohol is useful for skin prep, hand hygiene and surface/equipment disinfection. For optimal effectiveness, alcohol requires at least 5 minutes of exposure for disinfection. All of these solutions can be used to clean procedural sites. I was trained to let Betadine dry completely for it to be effective. Make sure to wipe it off when you are done so as not to desiccate the skin. You can sniff alcohol swabs to treat nausea (it’s safe). Don’t apply these solutions to open wounds. Orthopedic Injuries Moldable splint (Rhino Rescue, SAM, etc) My notes: These are helpful if you have to evacuate someone with a broken limb. Make sure the splint spans above and below the break. Movement = pain. Thanks for reading this far. As before, let me know if I forgot anything or if you think I messed up and I will revise the post later this week. May you never need this stuff. submitted by /u/doctorbigmad to r/preppers [link] [comments]

Hey guys, I currently wear the Phillips 9050 bte hearing aid’s with molds that connect via Bluetooth to my EKO core digital stethoscope. I currently work as a medical assistant where I have to take manual BP’s a lot. The trouble is I have such a hard time hearing the beats with the amplification turned all the way up. Does anyone have tips on how best to use this stethoscope without taking my hearing aid’s out? Or a better stethoscope that has better amplification? Because I can’t deal with the “was that a beat?” on every manual BP check. I also realized that even with my hearing aid’s out and with the stethoscope ear pieces in, I can barely hear the beats. (And yes, everything is positioned correctly, I triple checked everything). Any help in this will be appreciated. I just want to confidently say, “I heard that” submitted by /u/Key-Income1126 to r/HearingAids [link] [comments]

Hi all! I have a very slight hearing impairment that in my aide job makes it hard to use stethoscopes. It's not impossible to hear when I'm doing BPs, but it's definitely not efficient. So, I've decided when I get into the nursing program that I'm going to get a digital stethoscope from Eko to help with this problem. Now, I don't want an instructor to see this as an advantage or anything so I want to make sure I get reasonable accommodation from my school's accessibility department so make sure I'm covered. I'm probably going to get the attachment instead of the stethoscope itself so it can be put on the learning one for tests and stuff. Does anyone have any idea as to why this wouldn't work or has anyone been through this before? I just want to cover my bases before I drop over $300 on a piece of equipment that I won't end up being able to use. TLDR: I'm wanting to get a digital stethoscope for school and I need to know if I'll be able to submitted by /u/torbotorini to r/FutureRNs [link] [comments]
