Code/Trauma Debriefing

[erdaynurse]

I was wondering if any of you had standards for staff debriefing after a code or trauma, particularly after a bad one or a pediatric one. Our ER does not debrief staff members at all and I was thinking about preparing a proposal for this, but I am not sure about what type of guidelines to suggest. We have had some very tragic cases (like all ERs) that have caused a lot of grief and anger to staff members with no outlet. Any suggestions?

AHA just released an online program on debriefing- it's $ 25.00. I'm trying to see if our TC will purchase it.
