A Code in Bed “A”
It was an ordinary day at sprawling, 298-bed,Medical Center in Chico, CA, but extraordinary events happened on such days.
EVS Attendant Carlos Gutierrez was disinfecting the ‘B’ bed in a double occupancy patient room, preparing for the next patient. As he worked he observed that the patient in the ‘A’ bed of the double room was shaking and struggling with breathing and irregular heart rhythms. Carlos reacted immediately; he left the room and summoned nursing to the emergency. They came running as the patient had begun to code. CPR was initiated; the patient responded and was saved and moved to the ICU for recovery.
Amazing teamwork saved a life. Thank you Carlos for Safely help save lives.
