Summary
The hardest part of a bad call is rarely the algorithm. In two different interviews I explore some human traps of running an EMS call. I talk with Danny and Rance from DNR Prehospital Education about a choking arrest, a difficult field intubation, and the trainer-trainee dynamic that made the call more complicated than the procedure itself. Then Bobby breaks down the CAFE pneumonic of heuristic traps: commitment, acceptance, familiarity, and expert halo. This episode moves from the protocol and algorithm to the human challenges of running. Want more?
