“We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.”

Nor- Norephinepherine increases heart rate and blood pressure.

PEEP - Positive End Expiratory Pressure - used typically on patients on a ventilator to increase oxygen

Turf-transfer patient to a different unit/facility

The last 2 sentences mean the patient is not doing well and will likely be transferred to a different place to be taken care of. Hope this helps. (I do work in medicine)

As for SAB take your pick.

Yeah, absolutely correct. SAB was intentionally unspecific, but is mostly used for Subarachnoidal bleed around here.

A turf that can`t bounce is one that can’t come back. And only one department does not send patients back: The guys and gals with the freezers aka the morgue.
