MEM-EM CONTENTS

 

MEM-EM CONTENTS/STRUCTURE

The Zero Pont Survey was developed to provide organised and structured preparation for the very unwell patient quickly bringing together an ad-hoc team in the best environment to help optimal performance in caring for sick patients (medical & trauma). Reviewing the zero point survey video combined with the video making things happen is a great start into learning how to mange the resus room. The zero point is a useful structure both for preparing for sick patients but also for analysing cases to learn from and make improvements. It is encouraged that leaners read the paper view the video and consider STEPS used for analysis of cases. However, sometimes to understand cases we need to think about the strategy used and how we prioritise and set goals plan action and skills. 

The structure of this website loosely follows the STEP UPS structure with the second 'S' to represent systems and safety focused topics. 
 


1. Fundamentals: Self, Team, Environment

TEAM

(It is fully acknowledged the vital importance of the nursing, HCA, porters, PFC and many others in the ED team but others are better qualified to provide their educational needs this is the only reason they are not included in the topics below).
