Advanced Life Support Algorithm
Practice the ALS algorithm with real-time drug timing, 2-minute CPR cycles, and training scenarios.
Chest Pain: First Hour Triage (ACS + Can’t-Miss)
Aim: **don't miss the killers**, stabilise physiology, and hand over a coherent plan. You don't need the perfect diagnosis in minute 5.
Deteriorating Patient: ABCDE
ABCDE approach: **treat life-threatening problems as you find them** — do not complete the full assessment before intervening. If the airway is compromised, secure it before moving
ECG Rhythm Recognition
Systematic ECG rhythm analysis (always follow this order rather than pattern-matching): **electrical activity → rate → regularity → QRS width → P waves → P-QRS relationship**
Shock Pathophysiology
**Shock** = Inadequate cellular oxygen delivery relative to metabolic demand.
Shock: Bedside Pattern Recognition
**Q:** Shock bedside framework?
Anaesthetics
critical-careWeek 1Induction agents, neuromuscular blockers, volatiles, and local anaesthetic dosing — focused for ED/ICU.
