AAEM24 - RV Catastrophes in the ED - Controversies, Care Pathways and Codes

This session will be part two of the three part series where the same patient that initially presented to the community hospital with a failing RV in the backdrop of chronic pulmonary hypertension has now been safely transferred to the academic medical center.  EM-CCM physicians will now roleplay and troubleshoot pragmatic, bedside challenges for the care of these patients in an academic setting where there is a relative abundance of resources and specialists.  Challenges around airway management, procedures and even cardiac arrest will be discussed and an evidence based care algorithm that can be readily deployed for the care of these patients in the ED will be presented. This session was recorded on Monday, April 29, 2024 at the 30th Annual Scientific Assembly (AAEM24) in Austin, TX.
