Clinical case review - Not just a STEMI

Clinical case review - Not just a STEMI

About

A clinical case review that unpacks diagnostic complexity in the prehospital setting.

In this case-based webinar, we explore a prehospital presentation about a STEMI with a twist - a patient with both a PR bleed and evolving ischaemia, challenging the crew's initial momentum and clinical bias.

Topics to be covered:

  • Diagnositic vs momentum issues and how to overcome this
  • How competing differentials can exist at the same time and the impact this has on clinical decion making
  • The impact of competing pathologies on destination decisions
  • Using the tool Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA loop) to orient yourself as a clinician and view hospital destination choices through a different lens
  • In hospital assessment of the complex medical patient
