First five minutes

• New HypotensionConfirm it, check perfusion, sort the cause, act while you call
• New HypoxemiaProbe, position and oxygen first; then DOPE or the bedside clues
• New Confusion or AgitationSafety, a quick neuro exam, then delirium and its causes
• Low Urine OutputCatheter first, then pressure, volume, the kidney and who to call
• New Fever in the ICUShock check, cultures, the source hunt and the mimics

Cardiac arrest and ACLS

• Adult Cardiac ArrestVF/pVT and asystole/PEA, two minutes at a time
• Bradycardia With a PulseSymptomatic bradycardia, step by step
• Tachycardia With a PulseUnstable vs stable, narrow vs wide
• STEMIFrom the 12-lead to reperfusion

Shock and circulation

• Sepsis: Hour-1 BundleFrom suspicion to pressors
• AnaphylaxisEpinephrine first, then support

Hemorrhage and transfusion

• Postpartum HemorrhageQuantify and stage, treat the 4 Ts, escalate early

Neuro

• Stroke CodeLast known well, imaging, lytic and thrombectomy decisions
• Status EpilepticusBenzodiazepine, second-line drug, then anesthesia

Metabolic, toxicology and environment

• HyperkalemiaStabilize the heart, shift potassium in, remove it

Pediatrics

• Pediatric Cardiac Arrest (PALS)Weight-based shocks and drugs
