When your patient goes bad....

I called the ICU today and she had a rough night - low hr, low bp, on a dopamine drip. Now, her hr is tacky, 140's, afib (her original diagnosis and reason for admission). Her low bp is preventing them from administering most of the cardiac meds that she needs right now. I feel a little comforted knowing that is appears her condition is not necessarily something that could have been avoided as she is pretty much back where she was on admission. Her ICU nurse was going to tell her I was asking for her.
