So glad that Buffy is back now. And I'm sure she'll be able to bring Spike back as well. Love the story so far. Can't wait for more.

*keeps straight face* Not saying a word. Nope. Not going to say a word. Because, you know, I've often seen code's wake up the second their heart starts back up. *nods* Ok fine, I've never ever seen that happen, but hey, I'm sure it could happen. i have seen a CPR get a rhythm going after the doc has already called it and informed the family. Gotta hate it when that happens. I'm curious as to the swelling, pregnancy, blood volume interaction alarm. Did you make that up? My ICU days are limited, I'm afraid. Teasing aside, great chapter and I love Buffy's reaction to Spike's appearance!
hehe..well, I've seen it once. The others were stillunconsious when we shipped them up.

And then there was the poor woman who just had to be awake and alert while in this vfibb, flatline, vfibb, flatline., patters. Talk screaming about equipment and stuff! It's really wierd to see them defibb an alert patient!

And the interaction is not really made up. It was a common an dsimple excuse they'd give the family. We usef to have to monitor pregnannt head trauma's a lot closer because they were more prone to alarms. The locations and extent of swelling could contibute to irregularity. Her blood volume due to the pregnancy could cause irregularity.

And they wouldn've been tosee on their heineys the first 10 seconds, and she'd have been intubated instead of bagged, but then you don't get the nifty gasp! *g*

I feel bad for Spike. I hope he gets out of his comatose state soon. Good update.
