Is Rodgers Clavicle Getting The Best Care?

My youngest has been hospitalized three times. And from our experience in NICU, PICU etc., this looks like shoddy work.

Hope all is better.

I have heard that you need to be pretty skilled to successfully do this with the young, the elderly and chronically ill patients. A nurse in the family always insisted on a nurse from the chemotherapy ward when they needed to put in a line.

Thanks PB. Talk to me when she’s 20 Thatll be in 17 1/2 years.

Anytime you breach the skin you’re opening the route for infection. You really haven’t lived until you’ve got a line in your one-year-old’s jugular vein and femoral artery simultaneously.

That alone is scary but from a detail Standpoint why not shave where they put the tape? That’s just basic stuff.

Seriously, why not put the line in the antecubital space?

I know how you feel. Our guy had to spend the first 6 weeks of his life in the NICU. He was 2lbs 12oz at birth. All sorts of tubes and lines to keep him alive.

Best of luck. Our guy is now 10 and doing great. No lingering effects. He is one of the tallest in his grade and he didn't make the height and weight chart until his 3rd birthday when he finally hit 5%.

We thought we had it bad until the brought a new baby into the NICU. The kid was in rough shape but the mom had a stoke during/before child birth. Mom was at UW Hospital in Madison. The kid was in Waukesha. The dad would get up and go to see his son, go to work, drive to Madison to be with his wife, drive back to Waukesha to see his son and then go home at midnight.

This is what I deem perspective, or a Reality Check.
