I work as RN in a Danish Neuro ICU. How do the nurses share the different roles between them? Do the know who's in charge of CPR beforehand or do they just 'fill in' as the situation arises? Here we begin treatment incl. CPR ourselves and phone the resuscitation team and they take over when they arrive (which they claim is within two minutes). Never made use of their service yet as we don't see many cardiac situations. When our patients have more than one organ involved it's usually because of trauma. I just found your blog. Very interesting reading as I am quite new to the ICU environment myself with little less than a year in my bag as a nurse. Thanks for very interesting reading! Kind regards, Max Just curious.

And usually it is nothing, but sometimes it is. You're right though, it's freaky how many people just materialize when a Code is called, as if out of nowhere.
