Stat!

Vella was an ER nurse for ages, as well as a specialist on all things heart-related. I'd drop her a PM with specific things you'd like to know. She's a wealth of information for the situation you describe.

I'd love that! Thank you so much, Lucky.

It's been awhile since I worked the floor, but there are standard protocols (algorithms) for Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) that is used anytime a patient stops breathing (regardless of reason) and/or goes into an arrhythmia.

I'm not sure how detailed you want to be, but these links should give you more than you need. Interpretations are extra.

Anytime, sweets!

Yannow, I was once a character in a story because the author was so grateful...

Elizabeth West sat across from me in the rather stark room located next to the bailiff's quarters. My attorney had arranged for us to have this small room everyday during the trial so that I wouldn't have to face the press at lunch time. Liz was now the center of my life. When I had been helpless she was always there. It was always her reassuring voice that told me I would be better soon. Her tender touch on my limp body pulled me back from the despair I suffered for those long days and nights two years ago.

Is that a hint?

Qui, moi?

Nah, I'd hate for her to lose a patient and mess up her perfect track record.
