Float Nurse

Again the vision of the white gate returns.  And this time with his hand Maximus pushes open the gate.  In the distance can be seen tall green cedars that line the road leading home.  And beyond the his home can be seen an open field of golden wheat being gently blown by the wind.  As he slowly crosses this sea of wheat, he can see two figures standing in the far off distance and the sound of boyish laughter can be heard.  As the wind blows across this field of wheat it looks like great waves rolling across the face of the sea.   With each wave, his steps become lighter and the cares that once held him are slowly washed away. As he wades through the field of golden wheat his wife and son look up and see him.  Upon recognizing him, his son smiles and runs toward him …now he is home; now he is finally free. “Gladiator” and all related marks and media are TM & c2000 DreamWorks LLC & Universal Studios.  Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation Amiodarone 300

From the movie Gladiator As Maximus stands unsteadily to his feet, the vision comes to him once again, this time more clearly than before.  His wife and son are there.  As he loses consciousness, he falls to the ground.  From out of the stadium comes Lucilla.  She runs into the arena and drops to his side and calls his name. Maximus’ eyes open and looks up at her and in a whispered voice asks, “Lucius is safe?” Lucilla gives him a reassuring nod.  At peace now, his eyes close and the light slowly fades.  Lucillia, sensing that death is near, urges him to “Go to them.”  With his face calm and at rest, the gladiator takes his last breath.  Ventricular tachycardia 1st shock at 200 J Refractory ventricular tachycardia Epinephrine 1mg IV push given CPR Rhythm 2nd Shock at 300 J Ventricular Fibrillation Vasopression 40 units given CPR Rhythm 3rd shock at 360 J Refractory Ventricular Fibrillat
