Hi Everyone, I am not sure where to start but I have this question. Does anyone who work in a emergenvy room do EJ"s. I am trying to get a policy going and would like feed back
At the ED I work at only docs, PAs or FPs do it. Nurses, never.

Comment:
Nurses and paramedics who are checked off (i.e. starts 3 EJs and is checked off by the MD) can do them. Techs can start IVs, but not EJs.EJs are great. Very easy to do.

Comment:
Same policy as Fribblet,....any nurse who's been trained and observed. BTW,.they are usually easier than peripherals.

Comment:
how did you get started? I know you need a policy, procedure?

Quote from Pepper The CatWhats an EJ?

Comment:
I would think it is a money thing. The doc does the EJ so the client is charged more.

Comment:
IV therapy and nurses who have been trained and checked off do the EJs in our small hospital.

See my reply on the other thread you started about this.

Comment:
The MDs did those in the ER where I worked.otessa

Comment:
I have only known a doctor to place an external jugular. I know I for one do not want anyone else perfoming this on me without alot of training and experience.

Comment:
Nurses do it in my ER. If I have a Dr do it, then it's going to be a central triple lumen IJ.
