Help Prevent Delays and Errors During Emergencies

We're getting questions about the role of techs during emergencies...cardiac arrests, trauma alerts, etc.

The stakes are high in these critical situations...stress levels are maxed out...and high-alert meds are commonly used.

Be familiar with meds needed urgently...such as paralyzing agents (rocuronium, etc) for breathing tube placement, alteplase (Activase) for some strokes, norepinephrine for low blood pressure in sepsis, etc.
