A CODE BLUE IN PROGRESS AND THIS HAPPENS

 


Scenario: A Code Blue is in progress. in the Emergency Room The medical staff
have gathered around the bedside to assist. Unfortunately, the nurse on the left got 
distracted . She begins to move the paddles towards the nurse on the right.

How could this happen? It is easy to make a mistake when there is so much going
on in a confined space. It is important to follow all the security guidelines for a 
Code Blue, like making sure no one is close to the bedside prior to defibrillation.
