The document presents a case study of a 24-year-old female patient who was found unresponsive. Initial examination found the patient to have a Glasgow Coma Scale of 10/15, tachycardia, hypertension, and signs of respiratory distress. Laboratory tests revealed metabolic acidosis, elevated white blood cell count and creatinine, and rhabdomyolysis. Ultrasound showed signs of pregnancy. The patient was treated for pre-eclampsia with magnesium sulfate and antihypertensives, intubated, and underwent termination of pregnancy. She was admitted to the ICU and later discharged in good condition.

20. High risk emergency medicine and error reduction

22. How Emergency Clinicians Think We practice within the disorder of a busy ED Potential for system errors We clinicians must in addition deal with the potential for intrinsic errors

24. Sources of error High levels of diagnostic uncertainty; &quot;Decision density,&quot; or the volume of decisions that are made in a given amount of time; A high amount of cognitive load needed to process the large volume of data; Narrow time windows for patient assessment; Multiple care transitions for any given patient; A multitude of interruptions and distractions throughout the thought process.

26. Physician Interruptions ■ Emergency physicians are interrupted 30.7 times in every 180-minute cycle (1) ■ They experience 20.7 “breaks in task” per cycle (1) ■ EPs are interrupted 9.7 times per hour while office-based physicians are interrupted 3.9 times per hour (2) ■ Emergency clinicians spend two-thirds of their time managing multiple patients (three or more) While office physicians spend less than one minute per hour managing multiple patients ( 2) (1) Acad Emerg Med 2000;7(11):1239; (2) Ann Emerg Med 2001;38(2):146.

28. Multi-Tasking Makes You Stupid

29. Multi-Tasking Makes You Stupid A study at Carnegie Mellon University. Doing several things at once reduces the brainpower a person can devote to each task… Researchers asked subjects to listen to sentences while comparing two rotating objects Although these tasks use different parts of the brain, the resources available for processing visual input dropped 29% While brain resources for listening dropped 53 % The results were worse when the two tasks used the same part of the brain
