ED tech role in code situation

What exactly is the role of an ED tech in a code situation? What should I and shouldn't I be doing? Also, any tips would be helpful!

Thanks!

oh, and to the OP.. why don't you just ask your supervisor? you know, if you follow advise on here and something happens.. you can't really just spout off "OMG GUYZ ALLNURSES SAYD I CAN DO THAT STUF DOZ THAT MEEN IT OK. I R SORRY I KILT PEEPLEZ"?

jeez

Forealz? In my ER techs do IV's more than RNs. I was an ER tech the past 3 years. That's wiggidy whack you can't

Yeah I wish I could :( oh well

In many states (like mine), it is a violation of licensure practice acts to allow any unlicensed person to administer drugs, including IV solutions. So - a tech could initiate a venous access device, but a clinician (with appropriate scope of licensure) would have to initiate fluids and administer drugs. It's not a reflection upon the skills of the individual...it's a legal issue. Any nurse who delegates things inappropriately is putting his/her own license in jeopardy.
