It’s unbelievable how often “things" happen in healthcare.
Alarms, pumps, drains, changing vent settings, tubes, equipment, technology, orders, consults, intake, output, donning, doffing, and stressed loved ones. There are countless things to keep up with during your non-stop busy shifts.
You thrive on the fast pace of the ICU, but what happens when you think you’ve done everything right, only to discover later that something critical was overlooked?
