Can i just walk-in to kaiser for a tb test? if so, how much would it cost? i need it asap for a job i was offered and was wondering if i could just walk in tomorrow morning get it done by 11 am hopefully? any info would .

Yes, you may walk into our clinic at any time for a TB test. TB skin tests cost $16 and are not covered by insurance at our office due to being required by a job. You may walk in tomorrow at 10:30 and we will likely have it done by 11. I hope this helps and we look forward to seeing you then!

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
