The Collapsed Patient

Managing the collapsed patient is not without its challenges. Time bound critical decision-making skills in a high-pressure environment is often required, while concurrently managing the day to day hospital case load. So how do we go about this to optimise patient outcome?

This six part learning series with Rachael Birkbeck takes a pragmatic and practical approach to managing the collapsed patient, covering how to prioritise and stabilise what is most important. It uses a case-based approach to emergency stabilisation, diagnostics and on-going management of patients with cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological disorders, with didactic input from an emergency and critical care specialist. By the end of the series, you will be equipped with a toolkit to confidently manage your next emergency patient.
