Second semester in clinicals and on the first day we had a code blue, I was able to jump in and do cpr and we were able to get a pulse. It was such a rush and amazing experience. Very hard to do with an N95 sucked to your face but so worth it!

Oh my God I loved this video, so real, as an ICU CNA I wish family knew how hard everyone tries to save their family members but is the job, as a student I love the way you teach and I understand you so well so been obsessed with your channel since I found you! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this. As a nursing student, code blues give me intense anxiety especially with a ton of people surrounding you and possibly rushing you. This is great information! I will def be watching this video multiple times to learn from it.

This was amazing to watch before experiencing my first few codes in psych! Even when I didn't know what to do, or there wasn't anything for me to jump into, taking time-stamped notes was SO helpful for documentation. The other nurses were always so grateful. Codes often feel longer than they are, so nobody really knows what happened when.

A strong point is to respect all of your team members during a code. You will be working with people who are stronger or weaker in certain areas than you... which does NOT give you the right to disrespect, belittle, antagonize, or snap at others. I’ve seen Bullies do this several times. If you want to be a little B*tch, get out of the room. Your toxicity is only creating a negative environment than can potentially increase the chances of the patient NOT surviving.

We have stools in all rooms for cpr so we can get up high enough and administer proper compressions at my new hospital and it’s a game changer and we can do it longer without tiring out

So smart!! I will pass that suggestion along to my management at the hospital.

Thank you for this. I'm still in school, and I've never experienced a code blue in my life. But at least now I know I'll be helpful if write down all the details of the situation. Gotta brush up on cpr too, since it's not something I use everyday.

This was great thankyou. I have a 2nd year Placement in Medical coming up so now I know what to run past my Clinical Partner. I've worked in Childcare for thirty years so ungracious families are nothing new to me.

What scares me is being the first one to see the patient coding. Like, do I feel for a pulse and then yell for help/start compressions? If so, I'm scared I'll feel for a pulse, and with all of that adrenaline running, I won't feel a pulse and accidentally begin compressions on someone w a pulse

I work in the Ed and clients at risk are usually already on monitors and receive regular ekgs. They also mainly come from outside from an ambulance. When you’re in the moment your body is in work mode and you always have staff around you. Ask another nurse to check with you, you’re never alone thankfully

In what situations do you begin compression on a patient? In what situations do you need to use an ambu bag?

@RemoteApogee 2 жыл бұрын

Begin compressions when you don't feel a pulse and absolutely grab the ambu-bag and ventilate if the patient is not breathing spontaneously or is breathing shallow (or....is cyanotic lol.)

I really needed to hear this. I came to a point where I kind of doubted myself for hearing such negative reactions from the patient's family. At the end of the day, as nurses, We are all trying our best for our patients. Thank you so much for this wonderful video of yours. By the way, I passed my nclex last month and I owe this all to you guys. you're such a blessing Cathy and Meris.🥰🥰🥰

I am a newly graduate nurse therefore I am nervous. Recently I have completed my nursing course in Germany. I want to work at a hospital to gain more experience therefore I am more anxious.
