Yesterday, One of our patient is suffering from CVA , one of my colleagues is endorsing to the incoming nurse while they are doing this routine i check on this patient He Mr. X is attach to a manual resuscitators (Ambu bag/ BVM - bag valve musk) connected to a oxygen tank while a student nurse inflating air from air chamber another student is monitoring the vital sign i ask the student what is their latest reading, and replied bp 40/30 mmhg cr 102.. i said are you sure?
the student nod in response.. so i then double check the vitals.. i used my personal steth so i can hear more clear and have a better reading.. and start taking bp.. i dont beleive what i heared the systolic it pump on 30 and the diastolic is none.. then i just look at the student and the relatives i check the CR and i coudnt hear such lub dub.. then i use my personal pulse oxymeter it reads nothing.. i just then instruct the student to continue monitoring.. i just then knew that Mr. X is clinically dead that this ambu bag keeping him alive. before i leave the room i look to the relatives of the patient one them crying while the others are in silent with tears falling from their cheek.. when i got to the nurse station i ask to my fellow nurse how old is our patient my colleagues replied 52, hes still young.. i said this must be difficult time for them, that how i wish we could prolong more his life so that they could be together a longer time, spend more quality time.
After a minute the residence came and talk privately one of the relative, after talking she went back to the room. then i heard one in subbing inside the room asking for their forgiveness to whatever have they done wrong and sinned.
my colleagues said 'they already knew'..
i just then said to my self 'THAT'S LIFE' we live and we die.. it's not how long we live in this world, it is how we manage our life while living in this world, and that we always be remembered.
