    Hi Christy, it says your video is unavailable. It might be an issue with my computer, but I have been able to watch other students’ videos so you may want to check on it.

    Ok, it played fine that time. What an awesome project! I have never heard of these studies and did not know about the correlation between these PPIs and an increased risk of HAIs. How fascinating. And it’s particularly timely because at work today, I hung a protonix drip for a patient who came into the ER with a GI bleed and it’s been a while since I administered that particular drip. Fascinating project. Do you think your manager will be on board with this and do you expect much pushback?

    This is a great change topic. I too did not know that PPI’s could increase the risk of infection. The use of a protocol would not only save the patient from getting unnecessary medication but it would also save the hospital some money too by not giving every patient a PPI. Good luck with this. I hope it can be implemented with minimal pushback!
