Pt was intubated and placed on "code ice" sm for context - Sarah1114


Posted: Feb 04, 2013

The patient was admitted for respiratory distress. At home, he was seen to become rigid, arched back, and he quit breathing altogether. By the time the paramedics got there, he was asystolic and subsequently was intubated and placed on ______________ (s/l code ice). He was seen by Dr. Levi who thought he had a structurally normal heart and that this was a result of status asthmaticus. 

Thank you for your help!

I googled code ice - got therapeutic hypothermia - nm
