Code Blue

Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. . . .
from Meditation 17
by John Donne

This is a code summary strip from a biphasic LifePac 20.   It shows only the electrical interventions that were performed during a cardiac arrest.   As you look at the Preshock/Postshock strips, the left side of the rhythm strip is the rhythm before the defibrillation and the right side shows the rhythm strip is the rhythm after the defibrillation.   The Print 1 and Print 2 strips are random strips that were run during the code.
