U cant imagine how chaotic today was. As usual, after taking reports, i went to take my hourly parameters for my patient. Oxygen saturation 88% BP was 52/30 after that undetectable. Of cos i went to inform my staff nurse and not long after that resuscitation trolley was in and doctors and nurses came.
It was damn exciting can. Breaking open the resuscitation trolley. Putting up IV hartmann for the patient. Assisting the doc in the ECG, eg... The experience was totally different from what we do to the manikins. oh, it was so exciting yet scary at the same time. Ilyana was shaking when she was doing the hypocount for the patient and she got teased by me for the rest of the day. haha.
After resuscitation, the whole place was in a mess. though we hav to clean up the mess but it was a very good experience. at least i know what to do if this kind of situation happen again. Sad to say the patient did not survive. Maybe it was a relief for her. i dont know. i guess as a nurse we hav to face this type of situation very often. Jus hope that we dont turn emotionless as time goes by.
