You should not be doing these tasks yourself • Focus on the big picture: formulate a differential diagnosis, direct team members, ensure adequacy of resuscitation efforts (compressions, ventilation). • Announce the type of code being run to help orient team members (e.g., “This is a PEA code”) • NPs from ICU will be there – will guide code as well
