>> day 11/100 days of productivity

this day's productivity was more on completing my team's research:

acknowledgements

technical revisions

progress report submitted to the university ethics committee

surprisingly, just these 3 resulted into taking up my whole afternoon 😅 but it was very nice to complete our thesis. we only need to publish it and display it in our faculty and library, haha

also here we have bobby, habitually laying down on the books i read.

strawhat pirates vs. arterial blood extraction as a student of medicine, i really had fun doing this. it took away some of my bottled up frustration hahaha

Luffy (8/10) - would suddenly scream in "pain" to scare you, lowkey afraid of needles.

Zoro (10/10) - man's got a garden hose for arteries, does not flinch at all. chill and supportive.

Usopp (1/10) - no. extracting blood from him is an absolute nightmare, screeches in pain at the mere sight of needles & needs at least 3 people in the crew to hold him down (zoro, jinbei, franky).

Sanji (8/10) - beautiful wrist!!! the type to tell you "be careful" when in pain, very supportive and affirmative. would tell flirty jokes.

Nami (9/10) - super chill. would calmly remind you to be careful when sticking the needle in. the type to close her eyes and suck her teeth in if the puncture gets too painful.

Chopper (11/10) - would help you find and access the artery, calm and is not afraid of needles. he's seen and done this a thousand times before. also happy to have someone that he can call his "student".

Robin (10/10) - her devil fruit is sooooo helpful!! would offer to create more hands for you to practice extracting blood from!

Franky (4/10) - there's like a 90% chance that you wouldn't be able to extract blood, but cola. it's a good laugh though.

Brook (i would agree to have my blood extracted if i had one / 10) - an absolute joker.

Jinbei (10/10) - super calm and says he doesn't feel any pain, very chill.

_ - _-_-_

Law (0/10) - would shout at you (in anger) when you make him feel any pain. he can do it easily so why can't you???

Suction Catheters Market Forecast: A Holistic Approach to Market Trends

The global suction catheters market size is expected to reach USD 844.1 million by 2030, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030. Suction catheters help in clearing the respiratory tract of ventilator-dependent patients or patients suffering from respiratory disorders. The rise in the number of people suffering from chronic respiratory illness is proliferating the demand for suction catheters. For instance, as per the Irish Thoracic Society, in 2016, there were 643,580 inpatient hospitalizations in Ireland. Out of which, 32% of inpatients were older than 65 years and over. Respiratory diseases accounted for 19.1% of inpatient hospitalizations in Ireland.

Suction Catheters Market Report Highlights

Based on type, the closed suction catheter segment dominated the market in terms of revenue share in 2021. Further, the closed suction catheter segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate of 8.8% over the forecast period, owing to a rise in cases of cross-contamination

Based on material, the latex-free segment dominated the market with a share of 69.7% in 2021, owing to the increased use of silicon-based catheters by healthcare professionals. Further, the latex-free segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of over 8.8% during the forecast period

Based on end use, the hospital segment held the majority of the market share in terms of revenue in 2021. On the other hand, the ambulatory care centers segment is expected to witness the fastest growth of 10.9% during the forecast period

In 2021, North America dominated the market with a share of around 45% owing to the rising prevalence of various types of chronic diseases and the growing demand for respiratory devices. The Asia Pacific suction catheters market is expected to expand at the fastest rate of 8.6% during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the rise in the aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of respiratory medical devices owing to the rise in the number of ventilator-supported patients during the pandemic. In addition, factors such as rising cases of chronic diseases, and an increase in pollution levels are also contributing to heightened demand for suction catheters. In March 2020, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), granted emergency approval for Vesper, a device developed by Prisma Health that supports patients on ventilators.

In addition, during the pandemic, several governments across the globe and healthcare companies were improving medical treatment to treat patients suffering from Covid-19 patients. This in turn increased the use of catheters in emergency clinics and hospitals during the pandemic thereby positively impacting the demand for suction catheters. The rise in investments by the government and players to improve the healthcare industry is also boosting the demand for suction catheters. For instance, as per UK Government, close to 10,000 ventilators were added to the stock. Additionally, Rolls Royce, Ford, and Honda in the UK started manufacturing ventilators to cope with the increasing demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Respiratory – Sample-Ready™ Reagents

Respiratory tract infections are characterized by the localization (ie, upper and lower respiratory tract) of the infection. Lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, tend to be chronic and require greater management when compared to upper respiratory infections. Viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens can present similar symptoms. BioGX real-time PCR assays offer solutions for rapid identification of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid from a variety of sample types.

If you have a lot of pneumonia, they make you wear a percussion vest to help break up the mucus. The respiratory therapy version of "smack it to fix it"

day 47/366

slept at 4 in the morning because i suddenly remembered for clinical research we have a much earlier final defense and since my rotation got moved to the 27th, i decided to plan our deadlines since personally, i feel i won't be able to face some duties as the group's leader once our internship starts bc im assigned to a hospital 3-4 hours away from home and i wont rent a dorm or what bc its super expensive in that area

what i did from 12MN to 4AM

planned deadlines

made a timetable

made a respondent list for possible respondents – figured we could start on this while waiting for ethics approval bc it takes 2 weeks to process, at least we could just send the questionnaire as soon as it gets approved rather than just start on looking for respondents after

made a checklist in my planner for things we need to do

studied until slide 20/70 of comprehensive pt assessment presentation

8/19/23 Update

Hi tumblr,

I haven't started school yet, so there hasn't been much to update on. I'm not sure if I talked about my classes for the fall, but I registered for Chem-100 and Biol-107. These are both online courses. I initially was gonna take Chem in-person, but after remembering what it was like going to school last semester, I decided to try to get an online class. My school is a 45 minute drive from my house... I can't drive yet so I have to take the bus which just makes this even longer. They often DID NOT follow their schedule and drivers would just take off if no one was there. Like bro...you're 10 mins early...YEAH NO ONE IS THERE YET. People would complain, nut the drivers suck and would still just take off. Also...LOTS of weirdos on the bus. So, I've opted out.

It was hard to get this Chem class though. It said they had openings, but that it was also waitlisted. Waitlisted usually means that it is full, which this class was not. I really wanted this class, so I could be more flexible so I asked a few people. I asked the professor of the class who never got back to me. I asked admissions who at first told me it's waitlisted and I have to wait... like girl I know you didn't read my email because I said it's waitlisted but also shows open seats... so I emailed admissions again saying something along those lines and then they got me connected with someone who works on the STEM courses. She was able to help me and I finally got in! All the people I asked and they either didn't give a shit or just completely ignored me.

The lesson I learned from this is that if you want something you need to go for it and that people really don't care, so again if you want it you need to put that effort in because no one will do it for you. No one cares as much as you do.

I can't wait for when I'm an RT in a couple years. Time are so tough right now, and I won't even lie those checks would be life changing. I know school will be tough, but I have to get out of this. I hate living like this. We're not even check to check. We're hoping for a miracle every time.

Some more related to RT would be that I finished my general ed more the degree! 7 classes were required and I got 3 A's, 2 B's, and 2 C's. The C's were from when I first started school during the pandemic and I had also just graduated and was dealing with some health issues. I've grown, persevered, and learnt from my mistakes while in school. My grades have been better and I'm proud of myself :)

Now I'm working on the prerequisites for the program. There are 3 and I got one done so far: algebra with a B. I need Biol 107 and Chem 100. I'm so excited to see this all filled out and feel the pride in my chest of knowing that there were tough and sleepless night but I pushed through and will be closer to having a fulfilling career which allows me to live my life the way I want to live it.

That's actually one of the things that drew me to RT was the flexibility and pay. I want to be able to spend half to more than half of my time not working. I want that work life balance that RT can provide. I've had my fair share of health issues. Lots of testing and procedures. I know it can be scary and you're very vulnerable at those moments. I was lucky to have staff that cared for me and helped make those moments less scary. I would like to be able to give the same experience to others. I also have family with COPD and asthma. I have asthma as well. I've had some really bad attacks. I'll work hard to give my patients the best care that I would have wanted for my family or myself.

I know I'll make an excellent RT. I've also considered pediatrics since I have a background with kids and honestly love working with children.

Well that's it for now. Not huge updates, but still some new thing in my life and on my mind.
