Ok I got a question for you guys. Was called to the clinic for SOB 30ish male whiteout of lungs with pneumonia and when pt was moved to stretcher pt went into respiratory then cardiac arrest. When you have an arrest at a clinic do you usually take one of the doctors with you if they want to go? What about the tube? If the lead doctor in clinic wants to perform the tube before you roll do you let them or what do you do? I know a doc can maintain patient care if they are willing to go with you and assume liability for pt but unsure about the tube. I had never had a doc want to get involved in the code much less intubate so I was curious as to what ya'll might do in same situation.
