TEACHING IN TEN 🔟🧠

This sim-based Teaching in Ten takes you through the management of adult anaphylaxis, allowing you to apply your knowledge to a simulated patient. 🫁

DID YOU KNOW? 🙋🏼‍♂️

Mast cell tryptase is a marker of mast cell degranulation; elevated serum levels alongside a complimentary patient presentation is diagnostic for anaphylaxis. Aim to take one sample within 2 hours of symptom onset. ⏰

The final few slides focus on the Resus Council UK anaphylaxis guidelines, including refractory cases. 📚

You can make sure you are prepared for emergency presentations anywhere by downloaded the iResus app to your phone. ☎️

Our recent High Acuity Low Occurrence (HALO) Sim Day was developed to provide cross-specialty, interdisciplinary training, equipping staff from multiple departments with the skills needed to manage critically unwell patients in the Emergency Department. 🏥🚨

The training emphasized human factors and non-technical skills, ensuring effective teamwork, leadership, and decision-making under pressure across the multidisciplinary team (MDT) while maintaining high-level clinical management.

We were pleased to collaborate with colleagues from Anaesthetics and Intensive Care, with invaluable facilitation from experts across departments 🤝

The day was well received by both doctors and nurses, and we look forward to providing this essential training to more staff throughout the summer. ☀️📚
