Cpr

CPR Not again call the code Again in life saving mode Grab the patient from the dark abode This is a burden and heavy load My heart is hard and callous Working for years in the medicine palace No criticizing you’ve your own malice You’re not ready to drink from my chalice Get on the chest, push hard and fast How much longer will this last Push the epi again they’ve not passed Someone do compressions I’m gassed You feel a pulse? NO! begin CPR Eyelids open, pupils dilated, bizarre! Cracked ribs, circulate the drugs intravascular Hang another liter to the 18g catheter This isn’t good the lips are blue Running the code we aren’t through Good bag mask ventilation through the tube The bowel evacuates diarrhea, pew. Still no pulse felt at all Continue CPR in for a long haul Did we update family give them a call They’re in for a huge curve ball We got a rhythm that is shockable Charging 360J, stand clear, loud and audible Hope this works anything is possible Feel a pulse? YES! Phenomenal Post-resuscitative effort in full effect Titrate the Dopa and Levo for affect Secure the ETT make it perfect Debrief the H’s and T’s lets inspect Order chest x-ray and head CT Get an ABG, H&H and blood chemistry Start hypothermia and begin the freeze Lets clean up the patient provide dignity Another patient kept out of the grave The team members supported and gave Staving off death and being brave That’s what we do, for the patients we save By:beardedjarhead
