Anatomy of a Resuscitation

This episode is unlike anything I have ever done with EM Basic.  I had a case recently of a super sick patient who required a big resuscitation.  Fortunately, the patient did great and was gracious enough to give me her permission to share her case so that others can learn.  In this episode, we’ll go over what happened with this patient step by step and I’ll review some valuable teaching points on how to get things done in the resuscitation bay and how to think about treating critically ill patients.
