Greetings
I got a call at 06:40 from 5500. I was told that they could not get one of their pt respiration to show on the monitor. I asked which pt and pulled up that room. The pt was in lead III so I asked to see lead II, as respiration are seen in lead I and II. She stated that she had worked for two hours with out any success , she needs to prepare for report now and did not have time for questions. I pointed out that we were also getting ready for report and as it has been two hours would it be better for someone come down after report? She said that she only wanted to make sure that we were aware, we could come down when ever.
I went to the floor techs We had just finished a Code on 8100 and they also had to finish their paperwork. Andrea was not sure …show more content…
When I arrived at 5503.1 I tried to change the resp lead to lead I. There was nothing there. I looked at the ECG leads. they had a three lead cable and lead II had nothing but junk but lead I didn't even have a line. I left it in lead II and whet to the central table where there were all the nurses were. I asked to speak to the care nurse for that bed. One of the nurses spoke up 'what do you want?' I said that I need to talk to the care nurse in order to fix the respiratory problem. She asked what was the problem. I said that the leads needed to be changed, there is nothing showing up on the screen She said that it wasn't looking like that a few minutes ago. I changed the leads back to lead III and said that I needed to see lead I or II as those were the repository leads. She said that she was in report. I said asked if it would be better for us to come back after report? She asked me if I was from Central Tele? I said yes. She asked me what my name was. Katie. She said that she needed both names. I am going to SRS you. I said Appleton. She stood up ;and asked what needed to be done. I said that new leads should be placed on the pt and preferably placed farther
