Listen "Start where you stand."
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Faroukh Mehkri walks us through a mindset reframe for the undifferentiated crashing patient. He theorizes that the pervasive language of "stay and play" versus "load and go" has conditioned and narrowed our thinking. Dr. Mehkri describes the evidence-based, predictable and preventable pattern of patients going into cardiac arrest in the early phase of a call when the patient has been physically moved to the ambulance too early. He says there's still a place for the "load and go" mindset but that there are also many occasions with the very sick patient where it would be more appropriate to start with a mindset of "stay and stabilize" before patient movement. Wherever you find your critical crashing patient, start where you stand and stabilize them there. https://medicmindset.com Instagram Contact Ginger: [email protected]
