First code

Feeling new emotions ... today I did CPR for the first time. I have been a nurse for a year and work in a LTC facility. We initated CPR for 4 mins before ems arrived....when ems got there she was Brady but had a pulse.breathing on her own and was somewhat responsive....ems complimented us on a good job....but she passed in the hospital. Had been put on a vent and the family decided to take her off.

I guess I'm just having feelings I've never had. I was happy we were able to bring her back with CPR alone. But to hear she died anyways has me feeling well I don't know how to describe it....and I have never done CPR, I have never felt someones ribs crack under my hands, it is a horrible feeling....I just needed to get it out. I've never posted on here before. Guess I just need a debriefing...

    My pants fell off during my first code. Once I left the unit I burst out laughing. Its how I decompressed. Some people might see it as horrible but sometimes its what you need.

    Lol! Laughter is a good way to decompress and I would have laughed after also!
