"He's v-fib. Shit. Push Amiodarone now. Beginning cardiac massage." Thirdy began massaging his father's heart for it to return to normal rhythm. He was extremely nervous. Deep inside, he blamed himself. He made this happen.
"What the hell happened? Everything was going smoothly!" Charmaine stated. Panic was evident in her voice. The surgery was already finished when the code blue initiated which made everyone at edge. It doesn't normally happen and when it does, it happens during manipulation of the heart which wasn't the case at that moment. She was watching the cardiac monitor while her brother maintained the massage.
"I don't know. Dad, come on. Please." He stopped the massage for a few seconds to see if there was any changes. "Still in V-fib. Charge the paddles to 10. Hand it to me, now!" The nurse handed Thirdy the sterile paddles then made sure that it was charged to the right setting. She gave him the go signal as soon as it was ready. "Clear!" Everyone on the table moved back and lifted their arms from everything.
"Dad come on. Please. The surgery's done." Charmaine said when she moved closer to her dad's head. "Dad. Please." She held back the tears that was forming in her eyes.
"Come on. Dad!" The monitor still showed no signs of change. "Again. Push one of epi then charge to 15. Clear!" He looked at the monitor but there was still no change. He restarted cardiac massage. "This is all my fault."
"Shut up. Don't say that. Come on. Do your job. Save dad." Charmaine said. "Push another epi. Charge the paddles to 20."
They stood there, hoping for the best, ensuring that he survives.
