Ok so Ill warn you now this is a bit of a vent thread. But last time I did a clinical in the ER we have an ambulance come in. The medic came rolling in with a 6 month old baby. The first thing I thought while taking over compressions is this kids dead. I saw what looked like dependent lividity. I then heard some one mention rigor. The whole time were working this kid the mom is in the doorway hoping that we can do something. You could see the hope on her face. While doing compressions I wasnt putting out a femoral pulse so someone took over. I didnt find a femoral pulse on the child when eather when he was doing the compressions. But why pull a :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: move like that. Why give false hope? Your looking at 2 signs of obviouse death (Rigor and the lividity) and you still run it. GROW SOME BALLS, and tell the parents instead of making it worsw on them.
