A patient in the emergency room became unresponsive with agonal breathing. The PA from ICU came down and intubated the patient. The PA was ordering many medications and IV drips that were needed immediately. The ED charge nurse and I were having to look how to mix the drips, etc. Mila came down from ICU prior to her shift to help out. Without her assistance, the patient might not have had such a good outcome.
