I just stumbled onto your blog by way...OH My Word! I just stumbled onto your blog by way of the reference to the BiPap and I literally gasped out loud when you said the anesthesiologist had no idea what one was. Scary. I'm a respiratory therapist and I can tell you that at my hospital the BiPap during a procedure isn't common but it's definitely doable. At our hospital, we frequently use BiPaps for sleep apnea, to increase very poorly oxygenating patients, for folks with COPD and congestive heart failure, etc. I've taken BiPaps all over the hospital, wherever the patient was going: dialysis, special procedures, radiology, you name it. So sorry you were in the middle of all that confusion but so glad you did fine during the prodedure!Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528360147805366086noreply@blogger.com
