just as I'm about to sign out....

Sunday 4:45PM
- waiting for Mia to give her sign-out on my little nuggets in the NICU.
- "Code Blue" rings over head.
- hmmm... am I supposed to go to this? Well the charge RN went so I'll hang back.
- a minute later, "Code Blue. OR C."
- hm... a code in the delivery OR? This can't be good. They probably need like a peds person there right? I better go.
- turns out it was the wrong overhead announcement. It was an asystolic infant and they were supposed to call the Neonatology staff on their respective phones.
- as I come in with the Neo (Lily) and Elaina Oteyza (PL-2), it was a crash C-section, coding baby with ALS RNs, intubated. Gave 2 rds of ET Epi, 3 rds of IV Epi after getting a UVC inplace, several mls of LR. 17 minutes go by and still no heart rate. Called code. Had to help deliver the news to the spanish speaking father.
- hopefully not foreboding the rest of the year.

hope everyone is doing well...
