Her critical care skills and knowledge helped expedite the care of this patient. Despite all efforts, there was nothing that the PED team could do to save this child. This particular situation was stressful and challenging for some of our staff members to deal with. As the attending physician was preparing to leave for his shift, Carey stopped him and requested that he stay for a few extra minutes to debrief with all that were involved. This debriefing helped gain closure and alleviate some of the stress on staff from this situation.
