The worst code you've seen?

Nurses General Nursing

Hello fellow nurses - I have been a nurse now for almost 5 years, and I've seen quite a few codes. So I am wondering: what is the worst code you've seen/been involved in?

Specializes in LTC, med/surg, hospice.

I wasn't a part of this one but a end stage esophageal CA patient...lots of blood (old and fresh) everyone.

Specializes in ER, TRAUMA, MED-SURG.
I was on a unit where this happened. Relatively stable patient had been taken by a porter to radiology. She arrested in the elevator on the way back to the unit with only the porter with her who had no idea what to do.

That's a freaking nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anne, RNC
