Today we had a patient code in fluoro and I took over cpr once I noticed the nurse was tired. I was doing compressions for roughly 10 minutes then I began to realize the pt gasp for air. I hopped off & they began manually pumping air through the resuscitator. I helped transport the pt. to the elevator. As time passed, 20 minutes later I went to x-ray his chest. Seemed like he was doing better. As a senior Radiography student, this was one overwhelming experience. Doctors telling me I did great compressions, showing me recognition. However, the only thing I can think about is how I went for the pediatric code cart at first instead of the actual code cart hiding in the corner of our dept. Definitely one of my dumbest moments even though I helped contribute to saving this man’s life. I think I may just self critique myself too much.
