Can you share your story?
1:52
Yeah, we had a patient recently who had a really prolonged resuscitation.
1:59
And during the course of it, we did get pulses back.
2:03
I feel like we were working as a very coordinated team.
2:07
We were putting a lot of effort into helping this patient.
2:13
And even though we got pulses back, we had to continue resuscitating for quite some time afterward.
2:19
And then ultimately, we realized that this patient was not going to survive.
5:20
Lee, what does an actual debrief after a resuscitation or after a death look like?
2:53
[laughs]
2:53
Um, so I, I realized I'm not gonna be able to have a Hmong interpreter for this patient.
2:59
I'm gonna do my best to triage her.
3:00
I'm gonna get her vital signs.
3:01
I'm gonna do a, a pretty good assessment on her.
3:05
I'm going to go with what information the medics can give me.
3:09
And her vitals are stable.
6:00
Lee, tell me a little bit about how our translation services in our emergency department work.
