I made an error on an EVD order. How bad is it?

I made a stupid mistake that might have resulted in a critical outcome. I'm not sure yet as I have a meeting with my manager this evening. I am currently just stressing out right now.

I had a patient that came to us after a crani and evd placement.

Read the order wrong and clamped the EVD all night instead of having it open to drain. ICP stayed stable under 5 all night however. When mistake was finally realized by AM shift, drain was unclamped and very minimal output was noted, even after dropping the drain per MD order.

Pts condition was very concerning immediately after surgery and into the following day (highly confused and agitated when weaning off sedation to do neuro checks). Could my mistake have caused his condition.

UPDATE: patient is fine. went to the meeting with my manager and another higher up. They ran through what happened, asked questions, got my account of the story. Questions, asked what I could've have done what I should have done.. the works. I answered as honestly as I could, made no excuses, owned up to my mistake. At the end, they said they will talk it over as a group and will Let me know in a day or two what will happen. Since it was such a critical error that COULD HAVE devastating/fatal results they were taking it very seriously. I completely understand that. So corrective action pending. That could. Mean a mark on my record to as far as getting fired. I'm spiraling right now. Guess all I can do now is reflect and wait the 2 days. Thanks everyone for all your help!!

Should we name our boy Scout, Kilo, or Romeo

We rescued baby boy today for a neglected household. His original name is Rocket but we want to give him a fresh start.

We are avid hikers and campers and love going offroading so we are looking at more "adventurous", "outdoorsy" names.

We've narrowed it down to :

Scout

Kilo (from the military phonetic alphabet)

Romeo (Rome/Roam for short)

Which one suits him best or any other name suggestions welcome!

What is a good weight range for a 1/18th crawler?

My Redcat Ascent 18 Scout ii weighs 849g with a 60/40 weight distribution. I hear people are saying lighter is better? Is mine too heavy?

How much does your 1/18 weigh?

How do I fix this problem?

This is the Redcat Ascent 18 Scout ii. I just changed out it's shocks yesterday to the INJORA 59mm Long Threaded Oil Shocks with 25wt oil and it's having extremely poor rebound. When I turn my RC while driving, it leans and then stay leaned.

It does this with and without all the acessories on the car.

Things that I have already done to troubleshoot:

- removed all the oil and refilled it + bleed out all the air

- tried new

softer and stiffer springs

- ran it without oil (still does the same thing without oil in the shocks)

- adjusted the preload to all types of heights

- ran it without all the top heavy acessories

- oiled the O-rings

- loosened the cap where the O-ring is

Any help or advice or criticism is appreciated. I'm desperate, please help!!
