We are oh so close to the 1000 mark now, huh?
I managed to have a cardiac arrest today that didn't result in the patient being called pretty much as soon as we wheeled into the ER. She went from asystole to PEA for me, and when we left the ER she had pulses. They were putting in an art line and had a dopamine drip going.
I am sure we didn't do the poor lady any favors, and only managed to delay the inevitable. According to her driver's liscense she is an organ donor, so maybe some good will ultimately come from all of it. That, and now her family will have a chance to say goodbye to her.
