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.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
