Nothing

Worked a full OR day Monday, and a door guard shift yesterday. The OR is filling up, with restrictions. I'm sure I'll be working a lot more. Still feeling burnt out, so I'm not eager. Asked our anesthesiologist about the use of inhalation agents, his basic reply was, "well, if you really don't like someone and want them vomiting for hours..." Then added that it is sometimes used for people who are hemodynamically unstable, and it is used for 8-12 hour cases. Otherwise, TIVA, or total intra venous anesthesia is the standard, along with nerve blocks or spinals. This will slow us down, as will longer recovery room times. All our patients have to have recent negative Covid tests, now that the false negatives are much less likely.

Mostly I'm not feeling anything.
