We had this patient in the CCU. His diagnosis was complicated though he was a fun and dear patient. Two nights ago, during our shift, we were having a hard time inserting an IV site for his blood line. He was edematous which made it hard for us to make a line. Despite of that, he was really cooperative and allowed us to make attempts. He was very talkative and had a sense of humor as well. The nurse on duty successfully inserted an IV site and hooked it up with a PNSS.
Surprisingly, the next morning, he was intubated due to congestion and during our PM shift, he died due to massive bleeding, he was having a melena. It was sudden and we all felt sad about it.
