Where do you get ether anesthetic?

Ether is rarely used as an anesthetic these days due to the potential of side effects and unpleasant post op events. It also cause pre-existing, subclinical respiratory disease to develop into acute severe infection following recovery from anesthesia. In the OR, it's a dangerous substance due to its flammability. If there is a reason you prefer ether as an anesthetic, this is something you should discuss with your surgeon and anesthesiologist ahead of time. Many hospitals have discontinued its use entirely, so that is another consideration.

How do you put on sterile gloves?

Sterile gloves are packaged pre-cuffed (the wrist part of the glove turned inside-out). Using your dominant hand, pinch the cuff of the corresponding glove for your non-dominant hand. Holding the glove so that the fingers hang straight down will help keep the fingers open. Remember that if a sterile item is brought below waist-level, it is no longer sterile. Work your non-dominant hand into the glove. Do not attempt to reposition the fingers of the glove if it is not correctly placed (ex: two fingers in one spot) you can readjust the fit when both gloves are on. To pick up the glove for the dominant hand, take your gloved hand and slide it underneath the cuff of the glove. Sterile to sterile glove contact is acceptable. Work your dominant hand into the second glove. Now you can repositions fingers. Do not bother to reposition or unfold cuffs at the wrist due to the risk of contaminating your sterile gloves. One aspect of wearing sterile gloves that is difficult if you are new to the concept of sterility is remembering not to touch anything that is non-sterile. This is why you must set up your "sterile field' before you begin. One thing that helps me (I'm in nursing school) is to interlock my fingers as I wear sterile gloves to remind me that I can't simply reach up and readjust patient's curtains like I normally would!

Can you be allergic to surgical steel?

I've had a few piercings done, all of them with surgical steel, including my tongue, lip, and belly button (twice) and each piercing got infected due to my allergy to surgical steel. If you think you might be, don't keep the ring in. My most recent piercing, getting my belly button done for the second time, was a huge mistake. My body rejected the surgical steel and ate away the top layer of skin that holds the piercing in place, so my piercing now looks as if it had been ripped out.

...not to scare anyone or anything.

The same thing happened to me! I had a navel piercing done and it was ok for almost a week, then all of a sudden it started to get red, swell and had some white pus..all the signs of an infection. I am studying to be a nurse and I had my teacher, a surgeon look at it and clean it out for me. I endured the pain of having him pull it open and clean it out. But even after that the swelling just got worst. All of a sudden it looked like the top ball was being swallowed. After attempting everything, I had to take the piercing out. It hurt my soul knowing that I had gone thru all that, but the fear of septicemia was too great.

If you have allergies to latex and almost everything under the sun... Do Not Do This! If you do, go to an allergist to get tested for Nickel. Or use a gold ring.

______________________________________________________________________

I turned out to not be that allergic to the surgical steel. mY problem was that I had pus in there all the time so I found a solution in order to keep my belly ring. What I did was used a plastic belly ring retainer and it healed in less than a week. I have been keeping it in there for almost 2 mo and it has no problems and it has no pus and the skin has dried up and gotten better inside. So that's an option some one may use.

Allergies to the nickel in surgical steel are somewhat rare, but do occur. Here is some evidence, conclusions and advice from a guy who does this kind of thing for a living...

According to the medical literature, it appears surgical steel causes problems for tissue-embedded micro devices like stents, but is does not seem to be a problem for patients with large implants such as hip replacements. Around 20% of patients in a stent study tested positive for nickel allergy and the allergy was the best predictor of stent problems.

Conclusion: Soft-tissue embedded surgical steel (e.g., piercings) can cause allergic reactions.

Closer to home... I have two friends with ear piercings that would not heal, so I did an experiment. We used over-the-counter triple antibiotic ointment alone, salt solution alone and change to a gold stud. Salt solution alone did nothing. The triple antibiotic resulted in cycles of inflammation and healing. Change to gold resulted in rapid healing with no recurrence.

Conclusion: Nickel in the surgical steel causes inflammation which may result in infection.

Advice: If you have a piercing that won't heal, switch to gold and use topical antibiotic until it heals. Try surgical steel again after healing. If redness returns, no more surgical steel for you.
