Terminal extubation

My patient is to be terminally extubated,

A body lying in front, who we care for, has lost his functioning of brain capacity, haemodynamically fuctioning with the assistance of machine.

Just like those drama that we watch, we have to literally take off the ventilator tubing, switch off the ventilator screen, waiting for the heart to show that it has stopped pumping at the physiological monitoring and offer our last respect service to the deceased which is called "last office".

I haven't experienced it yet, because the team was only informing the family about the decison when i had ended my shift yesterday.

I saw the tears of the poor father, the friends when i was about to leave the hospital.

他一生坎坷的生命就此结束了。

安息。
