After an intense ICU event (eg. emotional family meeting or code), especially with trainees, take time to debrief with your whole team. Pause to acknowledge & process emotions & give a safe space to have them. Don’t just go back to the grind as we do. That stacks up #unwellness.
2/ These can be & are extremely traumatic events for HCWs, & yet I see trainees, nurses, fellow colleagues going to the next patient, chart, or procedure sometimes wiping tears from their eyes. I don’t know if we built this system up that way, but it shouldn’t be.
3/ Pause to have these emotions. Take time for yourself and your team. If an unexpected code happens while you’re rounding with a team of residents, pause. Debrief it. Let your residents have those emotions. Take a break. Buy everyone coffee. Don’t just keep going on rounds.
