During the CPR scene where they are attempting to save Ross, the nurse asks the doctor "do you want to defibrillate." The doctor replies " not now not with that complex." There is no complex, the patient is flat line. This is a major error, when a patient flat lines the only treatment is defibrillation (electricity). The CPR will help keep his brain alive. But the only thing that will get his heart going again is electricity and possibly epinephrine.
Also the patient has no heart rhythm throughout the procedure but there is no alarm until the last few seconds. It is possible to silence the alarm, but no goes near the monitor. Alarm seems to have started for effect.
Also doctors almost never actually do chest compression during a code. RN's, respiratory techs, emergency techs almost always do the chest compressions. In the cases where the doctor is doing them. It's almost always because no one else was around at the first sign of arrest, and once a code is called and others arrive they would take over. In this there's on nurse just standing around. In this the doctor actually stopped compression to look at a monitor, a doctor would never do that. Compressions have to be maintained until the patient has a cardiac rhythm to supply their brain.
This patient was already intubated so the doctors responsibility in this code would have been to watch the results of CPR, order medication to control the patients response of CPR and then if successful support the patient, not do chest compressions.
