A minor change in vital signs… a skipped heartbeat… the feeling that something doesn’t look or sound right — it’s critical to know ALL of the clues signaling that a patient is decompensating.
It can be challenging to pick up on subtle clues from patients. And if you can’t quickly identify the true concerns and initiate the appropriate interventions, your patients — and your job — is at risk.
