First code I was in didn’t end well. Advice?
For some background, I work reception at a freestanding ER. We had a premie brought in, in respiratory arrest which our doctor attributed to SIDS. I alerted clinical staff right away and they got to working on him but after 40 futile minutes the doctor called it. 814
Now I can’t stop thinking about it, I understand since I’m not a trained professional there wasn’t much I could do but I feel like I failed since I am trained in CPR. I was in charge of recording and getting ahold of EMS but I feel like there was more I could have attempted to help with since I was there the whole time. It’s overwhelming and my management has been very supportive but like I said I can’t stop thinking about this. I guess I’m really just trying to rant and get this off my chest and want some advice on how to deal with this. 13
