Simulation Casebook<br />

Harvard Medical School Draft of the 1 st edition (2011), updated 3/2/12<br />

If diuretics, nitroglycerin, morphine, or B-blocker given, patient complains of lightheadedness:<br />

HR BP Temperature ( o C) O 2 Sats (RA) RR<br />

120 80/50 37.5 o 90% 18<br />

If pressor agent given (except if phenylephrine by itself), blood pressure increases and patient improves:<br />

HR BP Temperature ( o C) O 2 Sats (RA) RR<br />

110 110/64 37.5 o 94% 16<br />

Instructor Notes<br />

A. Tips to keep scenario flowing<br />

1. If students are unsure of pathology, instructor can prompt the students to<br />

create differential diagnosis and lead them towards imaging and laboratory<br />

studies necessary to confirm diagnosis.<br />

B. Scenario programming<br />

1. Optimal management path:<br />

O 2 /IV/monitor<br />

History and physical examination<br />

Immediate aspirin<br />

Appropriate lab workup: CBC, BMP, cardiac markers, coagulation<br />

profile<br />

Appropriate imaging: stat portable CXR, ECG within 10 minutes<br />

Recognize shock and administer pressor agent (e.g. Dopamine)<br />

Administer anticoagulation medication (e.g. Heparin)<br />

Consult cardiology and request to activate catheterization lab<br />

2. Potential complications/errors path(s):<br />

Failure to administer O 2<br />

Administering over 500 CC’s IV fluid<br />

Administering large dose of Nitroglycerin, B-blocker, Morphine<br />

3. Program debugging: N/A<br />

VII.<br />

Debriefing Plan<br />

A. Method of debriefing: Group with multimedia teaching materials<br />

B. Debriefing materials: See Appendix C<br />

C. Potential debriefing topics<br />

1. Team dynamics<br />

a. Leadership<br />

b. Collaboration<br />

c. Communication<br />

d. Professionalism<br />

2. Didactic material<br />

a. Shock pathophysiology<br />

i. Define shock: Perfusion insufficient to meet metabolic demand<br />

(often noted by low blood pressure < 90, MAP < 65, or other<br />

markers e.g. lactic acid)<br />

ii. Blood pressure is factor of heart rate, stroke volume, systemic<br />

vascular resistance.<br />
