Mental Models for Resuscitation Expertise

In her lecture from ResusX: Reset (see link below for more lectures), Dr. Sara Crager delves into the crucial link between mental models and resuscitation expertise, highlighting the necessity for a paradigm shift in approaching clinical problem-solving.
Drawing from her own experiences, she emphasizes the urgency of refining mental models to navigate complex critical care scenarios effectively. Through a blend of functional bedside pathophysiology and systematic problem-solving strategies, Dr. Crager advocates for an approach that transcends mere algorithmic thinking, advocating for expertise as the cornerstone of successful clinical practice.
Her talk challenges conventional teaching methods, urging practitioners to invest in honing their mental models to optimize patient care outcomes.

Sara Crager has helped me not only survive but thrive in fellowship. I probably listened to her RV failure lectures at least 10x. ICUedu, crit care now in addition to all the standard FOAMeds for CC (emcrit, IBCC, pulmpeeps) have been a godsend for trainees like me.
