We were working them and the smell of the fluids coming up their mouth as we pumped the chest just REEKED, even after we intubated them. I've done a bazillion codes but this was one of the smelliest ones >_> Plus I was sick and nauseous beforehand too today so that certainly didnt help. I felt like I had to swallow my vomit while I was doing compressions. They ended up dying anyway after 20 minutes of this which sucked. But they didnt look good anyway when we got on scene since they were down for like 10 minutes beforehand

Merry Christmas! >_>

I had 2 codes on Christmas who both died. On the first one, my supervisor said "Well, she definitely didnt have a merry christmas." after we left the room

I laughed >___>

CPR in general is disgusting imo.
Just the feel of their cool chest was surprisingly what I found most disturbing my first time. This lady had actually been out at least 15 minutes before we got on scene and she ended up being dead too. She threw up some weird shit on the way to the hospital.

Not to mention all the other disgusting shit that code blue victims tended to do.

If this signature appears blue, you need to consider not doing whatever it is you're doing.

Yeah, the fluid from their mouth when I'm pumping the chest is what grosses me out the most. The shit and blood don't bother me that much honestly >_>

I'm probably at like a 30% save rate right now, which is around the average survival rate of code blue patients outside a hospital. When I first started I had 2 saves in a row lol, but then it went downhil from there >_>
