In my previous role, I managed multiple patients on mechanical ventilation, ensuring proper ventilator settings, monitoring oxygenation, and preventing complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia. I collaborated with respiratory therapists and physicians to adjust ventilation parameters based on arterial blood gas results and patient condition. My focus was on maintaining hemodynamic stability while optimizing respiratory support, ensuring timely weaning when appropriate, and providing compassionate care to alleviate patient anxiety.

During a cardiac arrest, I remain calm and follow ACLS protocols, prioritizing effective chest compressions, airway management, and timely defibrillation. I communicate clearly with the team, delegate tasks efficiently, and ensure accurate documentation. My experience in high-stress environments has taught me to stay focused, adapt quickly, and provide emotional support to the patient’s family while maintaining clinical excellence.

I adhere strictly to infection control protocols, including hand hygiene, proper use of PPE, and aseptic techniques during procedures. I monitor for signs of infection, such as fever or elevated white blood cell counts, and ensure timely removal of invasive lines like central venous catheters. Educating patients and families about infection prevention and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team are also key components of my approach.

I prioritize care by assessing the acuity of each patient, focusing on those with unstable conditions first. I use tools like SBAR for effective communication and delegate tasks to support staff when appropriate. Time management and organization are critical, and I continuously reassess priorities as patient conditions evolve. My goal is to provide safe, efficient, and compassionate care to all patients under my supervision.

I have extensive experience administering vasoactive medications like norepinephrine and dopamine to maintain hemodynamic stability. I closely monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and perfusion, adjusting dosages as needed. I ensure proper titration, monitor for side effects, and use infusion pumps with safety checks. My attention to detail and understanding of pharmacokinetics help me provide optimal care for patients requiring these critical medications.
