Great Catch by CRBH's Lindy Clark, RN

Lindy Clark, RN heard the monitor alarm and noticed that a patient was in a 16-beat run of VTACH.  The patient's nurse was attending to another patient at the time, so Lindy entered this patient's room, assessed the patient, and discovered that the patient was having stroke-like symptoms.  A stroke alert and a rapid response were called, and a CT was performed which showed a significant blockage.  Tele-Neuro was consulted and determined that it was appropriate to administer TNK.  Patient was transferred shortly there after to a higher level of care to obtain endovascular treatment for an acute ischemic stroke.  Great Catch Lindy, and thank you for your commitment to patient safety!  Your response in this situation (along with the care team) certainly helped to save the patient's life.
