Had my First Pedi Code today...

i've been a nurse 2 years, never had a pedi code, let alone an adult code.

i dont know how i did it.

this was a trached baby with a plug - i didnt think i knew what to do, but i did. baby desatted to the 30s, hr in the 20's. cpr started..didnt even last 10 min, but felt like an eternity.

got told i did a really good job and was on top of everything..

but i dont know how i did it..

i know they say codes bring on an adrenaline rush- but i was just shaking for 5 minutes!! i guess its like an out of body experience- inside during bagging her i was panicking and shaking and could feel my heart pounding, but still did what i had to do.. afterwards it all came to the surface..

wow..

did i mention this was my last day on orientation? :)

If ever your patient codes (adult or pedi) and you don't get a little shook-up you have been doing this too long. It sounds like you did fine!- I've seen seasoned nurses lose it in a code and lock up. I've suffered from "brain freeze" myself- that's why you call a code TEAM. Hears hoping you never have so many codes the it becomes just another day.

I remember my first code, they asked for a bag, and I was like "what's a bag and where do I find one?" This was after about 4 years of experience and going through the crash cart about once a week. You did SUPER!
