Podcast 507: Who gonna crump?

Contributor: Nick Tsipis, MD

Educational Pearls:

Communication proves time and time again to be most helpful in preventing surprises after patient admission
Frequent re-evaluations and repeat vital signs can be important to evaluating a patient's risk for deterioration once admitted as well as selecting the proper level of care at admission
Broad categories of patients who most commonly have a change in condition after admission are septic patients and those admitted for respiratory complaints
