Time-Critical Specialty Care (Trauma, Cardiac, Neuro)
This course focuses on high-acuity conditions where rapid activation of specialized teams (Cath Lab, Stroke Team, Trauma Surgeons) is essential.
Course Lessons
Acute Stroke Team Notification
Initiating and sending comprehensive stroke alerts to downstream teams.
Advanced Stroke Interventions
Managing stroke workflows, from transmitting "last known well" times to integrating stroke AI and direct-to-CT protocols.
Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation
Sharing resuscitation data like ETCO2 and consulting for ECPR prior to patient arrival.
Multi-Disciplinary Trauma Consultation
Coordinating with local physicians and trauma surgeons to determine if a patient requires transfer or local treatment.
Scrubbed Surgeon Options
Managing communication when key personnel, such as surgeons, are scrubbed in and cannot use standard devices.
STEMI and Cath Lab Coordination
Explains STEMI workflow, including integration of 12-lead ECGs from multiple devices (Zoll, Stryker, Philips). Covers simultaneous notification of ED, cardiologist, and Cath Lab teams.
Trauma Level Activation
Demonstrates how to activate a hospital with a specified trauma level, which automatically alerts all necessary downstream care team members.
