Today, I link to and excerpt from The Anaesthetic Crisis Handbook Webpage.
All that follows is from the above resource.
Anaesthetic Crisis Handbook
Crises are stressful & difficult. Use an evidenced based approach. Use a handbook.
About
Feb 2023.
Welcome to version 3.3
A few years had passed so it was about time some minor errors were corrected, and some design tweaks were implemented.
(don’t worry there is no mention of COVID19 in the book anywhere).
Please see here for version history.
Why use a handbook in a crisis? Because I’m increasingly convinced that we should be focusing on improving non-technical skills rather than sweating about remembering rarely needed facts. (plus there is a fair amount of evidence behind them (see here)
This resource is for educational purposes as well as improving patient safety. I have no interest in commercial gain. It is aimed at a New Zealand audience and a resource for hospitals and staff local to my region to be able to access the resource.
If you are interested in a very good commercial product I would recommend The ACM which can be found here.
Contrary to my partners usual order of eating, here’s the best bit first. The handbook is downloadable as an enhanced .pdf file. Contents pages are clickable for quick easy navigation throughout the document.
