AAEM24 - Anchors Away - Mitigating Cognitive Errors in the Emergency Department

 “Hey, do you remember that patient you saw two days ago with…?” It’s the greeting we all dread when arriving on shift. Emergency providers are prone to biases that may lead to diagnostic & therapeutic catastrophes. Recognizing the types of errors and the conditions under which they flourish will help mitigate their impact. EM cases will be used to highlight key concepts & strategies for avoidance. This session was recorded on Monday, April 29, 2024 at the 30th Annual Scientific Assembly (AAEM24) in Austin, TX.
