Mr. Jay displayed tremendous skill and knowledge.
A 13 year old patient was brought into the respiratory assessment area of AL Hada ED. The paediatric patient was seen and examined by the Paediatric Physician. The necessary tests were done, results were reviewed, and the patient was referred to the Paediatric Neurology on call. The patient was with the parents and informed of their plan of care. Mr. Jay Viola was allocated as the primary nurse when the patient became unresponsive with no palpable pulse and no spontaneous breathing. CPR was commenced initially by the Paediatric Doctor and then continued by Mr. Jay Viola. Mr. Jay Viola followed the proper sequence for cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the American Heart Association which resulted in the patient regaining a palpable pulse with an organized rhythm and spontaneous breathing. Mr. Jay displayed tremendous skill and knowledge. He was able to keep the family informed and follow instructions to ensure good outcomes. He coped well under pressure which resulted in saving a patient. Mr. Jay is a very dedicated and passionate employee who is always willing to go the extra mile. Mr. Jay's effort and commitment to his team and the patients are admirable.
