High- Tech Nursing

In Scottsdale, Arizona a young boy named Michael Higgins, an eight year old young boy had almost died by not breathing and collapsed. Luckily for the boy, Donna Musser was around to save this poor boy, when he had stop breathing. She was a Registered Nurse also known as (RN). The teacher who saw Michael collapsed had called the police. Musser had a devise calls AED which is a high- tech device that can jolt a person's heart with an electric sock. The pads on the shocker device had gave signal to shock Michael where he needs to be shocked at, she shocked him and he started to breath once again. The High- Tech device known as AED helped many people in situations that can't be dealt with to this day like breathing on your own when you have a heart attack. Nurses' Tech Tools... To this day as if right now, they’re nurses that use many devices to help out their patients. Their so many to use not only the AED, because they’re Oxygen tanks they use to keep for breathing normal and so much more. Measuring a patient's oxygen level.... Oxygen is what everyone needs to live. Years ago mostly all around the world have low oxygen in their system and the nurses had to have their own observation weather the patient had a low oxygen level. They looked for bluish coloration to the lips and their fingernails. If they did have blue lips and fingernails that means’ that their oxygen level had dropped 20%. There is a device that measures our oxygen level, it clamps on the end of any patient’s finger, like a clothespin. It finds out the oxygen level in a persons’ blood.
Delivering exact amounts of fluids and medications… There is another device called Infusion pump. It helps specified amount of fluid into a patient’s vein. To this day now, the device has become smaller and more accurate. They would have to use the device more careful or something will go wrong.
High- tech harvesting… Paul Smith is one of the RN from Colleyville, Texas. He says that the high- tech procedure called Endoscopic vein Harvesting is the coolest thing he had ever done. They use this device to remove the vein very carefully.
This summary would probably help me in my future because maybe one day I would want to be a RN I would have to learn all the important things that are in the job. Like, how to use the tools of what nurses use to help out a patient. This article is something you would want to read and learn more about because the tools that the nurses use are very interesting and they it’s fun to use also. So, I would say this article can tell you a lot of what people use in the hospital.
