About

This ebook presents emergent clinical situations and the core tasks required of healthcare professionals needing to recognize, navigate and safely manage them. It’s really about how to perform the ABCs while protecting yourself, the patient and others; attempting to establish therapeutic relationships; and respecting patients’ values and wishes. When first called upon to manage acutely ill patients, the healthcare team must initiate their ABCs to support and keep patients alive even though information is lacking (i.e., the undifferentiated situation). As information trickles in, the team’s mental model evolves and becomes more refined. This allows resuscitative efforts to be modified and enables the introduction of more specific measures to directly address the source of the problem.

Intended Audience

Designed for a broad range of specialists (e.g. internal medicine, emergency medicine) family physicians, and other healthcare professionals, NavME is best suited for those needing to manage medical emergencies on an infrequent basis. Navigating Medical Emergencies (NavME) is a must-have to help you be ready to manage your next patient who develops a medical emergency. Maps and tasks throughout this eBook have been revised for the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
