Late night Resus Part 2
The male patient was rushed to Mercy General Hospital where he stopped breathing en route… The doctor quickly started breathing for him with the ambubag.. You see the gel where the patient coded en route and had to be shocked with the paddles..
However as she bagged him she heard the alarms of his heart going back into cardiac arrest.. she quickly called the code and started compressing hard and fast immediately on the man’s chest… She had no idea what caused this man to collapse in his sleep but she knew time was of the essence.
He was in vfib so she charged the paddles again to 300 joules and shocked him multiple times before she resumed CPR..
She continued compressing his chest for 2-3 minutes until the respiratory team could arrive to intubate the young man to secure his airway… she then resumed CPR trying to keep him shockable…
She shocked him again, and she hoped that his pulse would return… by this point he has been in cardiac arrest now for over 12 minutes..
(tell me what happens next to this man… does he survive so his wife sees him in the CICU, and you can make the code really long too… Does he make it to the CICU only to code in front of her.. or is this the end for the young man????)
They get a rythm back and they rush him through the halls of the hospital being bagged as people stare wondering what happened. They get him to CICU and hook him up to full life support. The female CICU doctor comes and talks to his wife saying your husband had a Massive Heart Attack and is in extremely critical condition. We are having a hard time stabilizing him. She allows her to see her husband as it might be for the last time
