The 4 step approach to The Deteriorating Patient
This is from a live intern education lecture, on everything I wish I knew about the deteriorating patient and how to approach and rapidly treat someone in this circumstance.
1) Are they sick? YES
2) DRSABCDE optimise and stabilise
3) Reversible Causes
4) Crisis Resource management

This was so great to watch. As an RN I like to appreciate the medical perspective of patient management especially in clinical deterioration. Love that you're an Australian channel, too! I sometimes find non-Australian resources unhelpful at times as they often operate with different guidelines.

Wondering what peoples thoughts are on contraindications for NPA regarding basal skull #? It’s something many people mention but it seems to have arisen from a small number of case reports unless I have missed something. I also came across a suggestion these case reports were potentially just cut down ETTs. I consider (mainly within a prehospital environment) if I’m struggling with airway I would use an NP even if concerns over basal skull #.
ABCDE in the hospital is essential. C-ABCDE if in a combat environment. Always carry a tourniquet or a belt with you.
Are the slides available for this (please)!
I always forget what the 4 H's are because each H just stands for hyper / hypo something. In the middle of a code my lizard brain has zero chance of remembering the 4 H's The mnemonic "VOTE 4 Mr. T" tells you what the thing is that's hyper / hypo: Volume (hypovolaemia) Oxygen (hypoxia) Temperature (hyper / hypo thermia) Electrolytes (K, Na and Glucose - using some poetic licence with electrolytes here) And then the 4 T's as per usual Pity the fool who forgets to VOTE 4 Mr. T!

really love this comment! I think its really annoying when a memory aid, isnt that effective. I think VOTE is fantastic. we should be able to come up with a similar one for the 4Ts.
