Approaches

The scariest topics, one step at a time.



Aortic Dissection

Suspect. Diagnose. Manage. Quickly.


Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest

This will likely be a long resus. It does not need to be an overwhelming one.


Bradycardia

When the heart rate is uncomfortably low: this is what you need to know.


Hot & Altered

So much more than sepsis.

Sick Neonate.

Take a breath. This is what you need to do.


Peds SVT.

Their heart rate is fast. Yours doesn’t need to be.
