brock8024 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Ok so you do your 12 lead nothing abnormal. O2 at 15 l/m via NRB. As you load her in to the ambulance she tells you that she remembers hearing the nurses talking in the cath lab. One said she hope that it was not to much and the other said naw she will be fine. She does not know what they where talking bout but was out of it from the valium they gave her to calm her down. Your partner looks at you funny and you decide to take her code 3 to the local ER. about 2 blocks from her house she stops breathing and becomes unresponsive!!!!! what you want to know now. And what do you think is going on. I have given you what you need to know. How is this treated and will this change your mind on which ER to go too??
