As an ICU attending, I’ve led hundreds of codes, & as a sim instructor, I designed a sim focused on the intangibles.

Here are 10 essential elements of code & rapid response leadership (in no particular order) that are not taught enough yet help control the chaos.

1/ Be a calm & clear leader

ACLS 101.

This isn’t about ego. It’s about your patient.

Don’t be mean or yell.

Calmly stand at foot of the bed, raise your hand, & say, “I’m going to run this.”

Reset the room.

Attendings, support your trainees, “I’m right here. You got this.”
2/ Turn down the noise

Chaos loves 20 people in a cramped hospital room yelling at each other.

Ask everyone to try to be quieter & for non-essential personnel to step out.

In our MICU, codes are quiet. We strive to control the chaos like an orchestra.

1/ In honor of #COPD Awareness Month, let’s solve the prevailing problem of rare #palliativecare (PC) in COPD, especially early.

2/ First, a PSA:

Waiting for PC until end-stage #copd is too late & misses a golden opportunity to meet COPD patient & family needs earlier in the trajectory.

See our @AnnalsATS pub atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.151….

@AnnalsATS will have a podcast on that soon, so stay tuned!
3/ Contrast “late” (the status quo if at all) to “early” PC, which brings comprehensive palliative & supportive care to patients & families before end-stage disease.

Others have explored PC in COPD.

The key here is “early”.

Lots to learn from #qualitative research!
