I’m a PCT and today I returned the patients blood, got his standing and sitting blood pressure, removed his lines and did the heparin locks, and all of a sudden his eyes just rolled back into his head and they did CPR for a while and they took him to the hospital but he seemed dead. I feel terrible. There was a nurse watching me so I know I did everything correctly but it’s so scary and sad to see someone suddenly die in front of you. He stood up and his blood pressure was high enough that we would let him leave. Then he sat back in his chair and his eyes rolled back into his head and then all the nurses and ems did cpr. I know it’s not my fault but it’s so sad and scary to see someone pass away in front of you.

I’m just so sad.
