PGY 39, Day 129
For INEXPERIENCED PROVIDERS
If you are new in the ICU, no matter what level of training, medical student, nursing student, new graduate, intern, resident, or just a neophite in the ICU, here are a few pointers that will keep you and your patients out of trouble.
Based upon the following rule: "PRIMUM NON NOCERE" (First Do No Harm) here are your top three rules
1. If you don't know what you are doing, STOP!!!! ... DO NOTHING and ask for help.
2. If you don't know what you are talking about, STOP!!!! ... SAY NOTHING and ask for help.
3. If it is an emergency, CALL FOR HELP, use FIRST AID, ACLS, ATLS and PALS till help gets there.
Ciao e buona fortuna!
Have a nice day.
Dr. Mike
