baby

a baby died :( 6 weeks old, HIV+, difficulty breathing, needed O2, sats never >90, poor perfusion, lethargic. did get some antibiotics and oxygen. fluids slow in coming, slow in infusing, didn’t get in fast enough. stopped breathing, lost pulse, chest compressions, didn’t have right bag and mask x2, 3rd bag and mask ok but no O2 hooked into it, gave epi x1, nothing. a baby died :(
