Summary

So welcome back to another Roadside to Resus episode!

Pre alerts are a key part of the interface between pre hospital and in hospital care of the critically unwell patient, when made and received in an effective manner they can really benefit the patient and the system. But too often we hear of friction associated with pre alerts and recent discussions on social media has really highlighted this.

In this episode we explore the pre alert, the guidance that exists already on the topic, the challenges of both making and receiving those pre alerts and our four major questions; why we pre alert, what we should pre alert, how to pre alert and when to pre alert.

Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James

forward to this episode. I think as soon as we put that message out on Twitter around this episode and the topic we were going to cover, it was absolutely on fire. It stirred up

0:43.3

such emotions, such feeling I can't wait to get to grips with this and have a bit of banter with

0:48.1

you too. Yeah, there's absolutely loads to discuss here, isn't there? And, you know, one of those

0:52.3

topics that is truly interesting

0:54.6

to both pre-hospital and in-hospital practitioners. And there's loads of nuance, loads of

0:58.8

things that we need to discuss here. So very much looking forward to getting it out on this

forum, chaps. So we'll add a bit more context to it when we get into the episode. But before
