“Make sure your patient isn’t HOPping before you intubate.”
So when I read your tweet, I though HOP? What could that stand for?
Hypoglycemic? Opiate overdosed? Post-ictal? Yeah that must be it. It’s poor form to intubate your patient, only to find out they are hypoglycemic, opiate overdosed or post-ictal.
I will now be HOPping and HOPing before prior to all me tubes. Thanks.
