S.T.A.T. orders

Just FYI, I received a call from the respiratory charge asking me to enter an Albuterol neb treatment as a once dose. I asked for an order, and she said it is part of the "STAT" orders. Not knowing what the "STAT" orders were, I asked her to please fax them. I believe, and after concurring with Super-Mindy, am positive these orders are standing orders for the S.T.A.T. team that tries to avert a code blue. There are orders for Change in Mental Status, Acute Dyspnea, Chest Pain, Seizure, and Acute Bleeding. Drug orders include Naloxone, D50W, NTG and Albuterol. I printed a copy and set it on the counter for all to see. Enjoy.....
