I work in the NICU and happened to hear a vent going off in my unit. When I went over the low minute volume alarm was sounding so I asked the nurse is everything okay? She said she couldnt figure out why it was going off. I double checked the circuit even though she did and then asked her, is the inline suction catheter locked? She rudely replied that doesnt matter I do it all the time. I tried nicely saying well the patient is a premie and sometimes that is enough to pull most of the volume out so youre not ventilating. Again, she says I said it doesnt matter. I then looked down at her hand as she closed the catheter trying not to let me see. The minute ventilation increased. I said well whatever you just did helped so good job! And walked away. Patience is a virtue. Lol
