Re: First code, first CPR, first death.
I'm a tech too (just started in the summer) and saw my first code the other week. It happened about an hour into surgery. The room was crowded with doctors, nurses and assistants doing the same thing with the epi, lines, cpr, etc. Towards the end I was getting in the rotation for cpr, but after an hour, the surgeon called it. Was a harrowing reminder that, however infrequent, this could happen to any patient with any procedure (this patient was seemingly healthy). It is an understatement to say how sad it was moving the patient off the table.
