My new nickname at 2 ED's we transport to:
Infant arrest 1 month ago, 6month old
Last Thursday: had an arrest at a garbage truck facility; unk down time but upto 30 min; CPR started when he was found; asystolic and never changed.
Saturday night: septic 30 y/o from ECF (there due to trauma); temp was 103, HR 110 took him to ED BLS (can see ED from ECF)/ 10 min later he coded while we were still there. ED dr asked if we could help, did; including doing the IO, with EZ-IO; (ours off of our truck, they didn't have any needles). pt didn't make it.
45 min later on Saturday intercepted with another medic on a routine transfer that coded on him. helped got her back. she coded 4 more times between 2200 and 0300 in the ED, haven't heard since, but probably died.
now I have a reputation at my FT job, and part time job.
hope doesn't get worse. 3 mon ago I had 3 arrests in 18 hours, with one save.
