Summary
Whilst providing anaesthesia for an emergency cardioversion in the operating theatre, the medical registrar tells you to remove the oxygen source from the endotracheal tube, and step away from the patient whilst defibrillation is undertaken. She also asks all theatre staff to step away from the patient.
