COGNITIVE AIDS + CRISIS CHECKLIST IN ANESTHESIA w/ JEREMY HEINER │ EP32

In this episode, Rhea Temmermand and Jeremy Heiner (editor of the Nagelhout Nurse Anesthesia textbook) dive deep into the under-discussed but vital topic of cognitive aids and crisis checklists in anesthesia. You'll learn how tools like the Stanford Emergency Manual and the Nurse Anesthesia Crisis Checklists can sharpen clinical decision-making during high-stress scenarios like anaphylaxis or hypotension. The episode explores how our brains make decisions under pressure, the difference between intuitive and deliberate thinking (System 1 vs. System 2), and how to develop better clinical heuristics. Plus, they walk through a real-world case of intraoperative anaphylaxis, using a step-by-step cognitive framework to manage the crisis. Stay tuned to the end to discover a powerful breathing technique Navy SEALs use that can also help anesthesia providers stay calm and focused under pressure.💜 LIVE WEBINAR: Save your seat on our monthly, free webinars.
