Crisha was triaging a patient when she looked up and noticed a grandmother four people back in line holding a baby with bluish color. She quickly went to the baby and took him to a room, assessed, and initiated CPR. The baby was stabilized and taken downtown. During the code, Crisha obtained all available resources and assisted with the debriefing. Crisha identified items that were not easily obtainable in ED resources. Her contributions have been taken to an ED system wide committee to help improve process and care of critical pediatric patients.
