So, maybe I wasn't being nice to my fellow coworkers, but common on we need to be a little more intelligent about our decisions. I work in ICU and had transferred my pt out of the unit to the Med/Surg floor when about 2 hours of her leaving she went into SVT with a HR around 200 (which I could see the second she went into it b/c we watch the telemetry for the hospital in ICU.) So, I watched the monitor for about 3-5 minutes (the telemetry tech notified them as soon as the pt went into SVT) hoping that they were going to turn her around but instead they called a rapid response. So, I went straight to the room to find 4 nurses standing around the pt, who was asymptomatic and stable. They did have the crash cart in the room, the BP machine on pt but the most important thing that no one had done was to notify the DOCTOR so you can get some orders for some meds, or I guess we could all just stand around her until crapped out on us!! At this point the pt had a HR of 200 for 10-15 minutes. I called the MD got orders and we converted the pt. Afterwards, one of the nurses overheard me being critical of their response to the pt and I know I should not have done that and I do feel bad for cracking jokes about them. This is a typical expected reaction on the med/surg floor and it happens too often. We are all nurses and all been taught the same principal things for ACLS response to a pt in SVT and they did act appropriately with a majority of the event but why wouldn't you call the MD as soon as you know your pt is in SVT??
