In this moment I am staring down the throat of a cardiac arrest patient trying to sneak the tube into the trachea. It lasts for probably 10 seconds but at that moment the whole room pauses.
In this moment I am trying to snag an IV on a suspected stroke patient who is nearing the end of the tpa window. I do most IV's before we start transport but this time I'm half challenging myself and half saving time.
In this moment, not a day since the last tube I'm elbow deep in an airway and like most times I come sucessful. Two squads, four medics and one trauma code, just another night in the big city.
