I've enjoyed the "overhead page for ER AW" thread. Good case to go over in case you ever encounter this in the middle of the night like UTSW did. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail right? 🙂
So I thought I might contribute a little on AW management and write a little bit about my case last night. I'll call it: "Home page for ER AW."
So my wife and I are curled up next to the fire watching some good ‘ol xmas classics on the tube. Popcorn is out, good flicks, and I have the good peaceful feeling going on.... Except...I'm on call. So.....
I get a page and it's the ED physician. He says he has a self inflicted GSW with an entrance wound under the mandible. He says he is on a non-rebreather and he thinks he's going to need my help soon. Patient is uncooperative.
What questions do you ask the ED physician as you slap on your scrubs and while you still have him on the phone?
