Worst Patient Care Errors

[backinboston]

Came on scene to a code a few weeks back... Fire was already on scene and they are pretty good about attaching the AED, bvm and giving us an update.

We came in and to my astonishment found the crew doing compressions 2:1 bagging.

Greatest part was they were using a NRB as a BVM and had no idea they were doing anything wrong.

however, I always feel that they make an effort and its better than walking in and nobody is doing anything.

Just like they do it on TV!

Or, is that the nasal cannula hooked up to the ventilator?
