Presents:
How pre-hospital management influences hospital rewarming (TBC)
Synopsis:
In my lecture I have tried to cover what pre-hospital factors influence in-hospital decision making. It can be frustrating not knowing why decisions are made when you pass over the care of a patient to another team. I hope this lecture will let you understand what we think and why we made the decisions we do. What happens in the pre-hospital environment is often key to the survival of a patient. Information gathered and passed on to us accurately can be crucial in decision making. Hopefully you will have some insight into what happens when the patient arrives at hospital.
