Work has been okay tonight. I walked by the monitors & noticed a lady was in asystole. I got everyone’s attention. The lady was a limited resuscitation. That means you can not do some parts of a “Code Blue.” Normal Code Blue is intubation, push emergency drugs, defibrillation, determine any reason why this person is having difficulty & treat that.
I like working in the ICU generally. You see a lot of stuff in a short period of time. It takes a lot out of you some days. But it is richly rewarding on others.
