Hi dear followers and supporters, I can’t thank enough for all the love and support, no matter how big or small it is, I appreciate it all !

I have made a new art, it took me 3 days to complete but I am proud of it ! What will happen to her next? Can her little heart take it? I have made uncensored version of this with that in mind… Other scribbles I have done for this character: https://heartofdea.tumblr.com/post/651275621268439040/some-lousy-gif-hahahah-chubby-girl-getting-resus

I need to collect some money to support myself before my next pay check… so your donations pretty much help me in that… Thank you and have a great day everyone ! Stay safe !

Here’s the setup of everything you can see from my perspective in the bed. I have 3 monitors and they are all connected to each other. The main monitor is a Philips Intellivue MP50. I have an X2 that rides in companion mode. I have a Masimo Radical 7 that has Masimo Rainbow SPO2 and it sends that data to the MP50 via Vuelink. Total input capability of this setup is 10 lead ECG, Philips fast SPO2, Masimo rainbow SPO2, non invasive blood pressure, rectal temp, 2x press inputs for invasive BP, Microstream CO2, 2 additional temp inputs. The ventilator is a Philips Respironics V60. The V60 also sends its data to the MP50 via Vuelink so that all of my vitals data can be viewed in one place. I get connected to this setup every night, the monitor is networked using the Philips Intellivue XDS application which is running on a mini PC in the basement. It records all vital signs and waveforms to a PDF document every 30 minutes which then gets uploaded to my Google drive and is put into a shared folder with my lovely long distance girlfriend so she can review my vitals whenever she wants (I’ll let her introduce herself in the comments of one of my posts whenever she feels ready). The whole assembly that the monitors are on is completely custom made, I made the whole thing myself out of 1 inch square steel tubing, 1 inch round steel, 1/4in thick mild steel plate, and socket head cap screws. It clamps to the bed so I can remove it whenever needed, and the entire thing is adjustable. The arm that holds the ventilator tubing is from an old lamp and it works perfectly.

This is the side view. Here you can see 2 pieces of equipment I normally can’t see from my perspective in bed. The oxygen concentrator in the corner is just the cheapest one I could get about a year ago. It unfortunately doesn’t that much use since I got the ventilator. The thing on the side of the bed with the tubes coming out of it is a Covidien Kendall SCD 700 series anti embolism compression system that pumps air through sleeves worn in the legs or feet. The IV pole was something I got for free for review from Amazon vine.

This is my breathing equipment bag, it’s got spare oxygen masks, nasal cannulas, ventilator filters, spare cushions for my Resmed F20 mask system, tubing couplers, tubing, and some other stuff.

In the nightstand drawer on the side of my bed where all the medical equipment is has a lot of different stuff in it, electrodes, hospital socks, condom catheters, and drainage bags.

In one of the other drawers next to my bed is my PPE drawer, I keep gloves, isolation gowns, bouffant caps, chucks, and my ambu bag and mask.

On my nightstand I have this mini trainer AED for resus play. It was also something I got for review from amazon vine. It comes with a set of pads as well.

In the nightstand drawer on the opposite side of the bed I keep more of an assortment of medical equipment. Including an M3001A, spare Intellivue modules, electrode gel, spare rectal temp sensor, trauma shears, medical tape, the chest leadset for my 10 lead trunk ECG cable, other sizes of BP cuffs, and extra sleeves for the compression system.

The dresser next to the bed is my heartbeat recording setup. The mixing console is total overkill but it’s got a USB interface so I can use my MacBook Air to do the recordings. The mixing console looks really complicated but it’s actually extremely simplistic for me to understand because using sound and lighting equipment is what I do for a living and I’ve been trained to use analog mixing consoles since I was 12 years and this is actually one of 3 mixers I own and is in the middle as far as size. The microphone I use is a Sennheiser EW100 G2 wireless lavalier microphone system, I actually own 3 of these because I saved them from being thrown away. They actually are still one of the highest end wireless lavalier mic systems you can buy. I just stick the actual microphone part in the earpiece of my Littmann Classic III.

Had a nice night connected to the monitor last night, prior to this I hadn’t been connected to the monitor since before Christmas

Made a brass knob with custom milled engraving for my MP50!

Unfortunately the MP50 won’t be my main monitor for much longer. I bought a fully loaded MP70 just so that my lovely girlfriend can view the monitor with the Philips Intellivue XDS software and the reason for that is you can’t connect to an MP50 with XDS. Luckily I made a bronze knob for the MP70 🙃 I’ll probably keep the MP50 around as a larger portable monitor than my MP5.

Hooked up to the Radical 7

I don’t feel like doing ECG and BP so the radical 7 is perfect for light monitoring.
