So, I'm and IR nurse and have a random weird question about paracentesis.

By

So, I have been doing this a few years and I see paras multiple times a day, everyday. We use a thickener in the fluid to make disposal a little neater. I'm hoping that's the norm as this question. Relies on knowledge of this process.

Normally the thickener disperses evenly in the fluid or settles to the bottom then spreads evenly. This time the thickening powder is floating on top and not breaking up or dissolving. It's so strange to see it. It looks like a floating layer of something.

Any guesses as to why? I've never seen it do this before.

I dont know the exact makeup of the powder.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
