Hey guys,
I’m writing a short horror piece set in a modern day hospital. The hospital is in a semi-isolated area, so it’s not terribly “modern” and using cutting edge technology or anything. A bad storm is raging and the power goes out in the hospital, followed by the failure of the backup generators (there’s a demon loose in the building, but shhhh - nobody knows yet ).
My question is about what the medical staff would have to deal with in such an emergency (no power). For instance, with no mechanical ventilators working they’ll have to manually help those patients keep breathing with Ambu bags, right? I’m drawing a blank about what else would need to be done. Can anyone help me out?
