Mentality - On the Line

IA
Discuss how to manage patients that are, "riding the line" when it comes to traditional decision points for treatment plans. Trigger points such as blood pressure less than 90, or O2 less than 92, GCS less than 8 but the patient is exactly at that number... How do we decide to treat aggressively or passively. Is there a different way to view these numbers to decide our treatment plans?

Code Management - Setting the Scene

Instead of discussing the medicine behind a cardiac arrest, breakdown how the first few minutes can make or break the management of a cardiac arrest.

Get an idea about what makes a good setup.

We take a step back, and look at the EMT side of things. Remember what basic concept of triage is from the door, keeping in mind that "over triage" is okay.
