Crisis Management on Demand

On This Episode:

This is a super fun episode where we welcome Mark Gabot, DNP, CRNA, FAANA on the show as a cohost. Mark and Jeremy presented at the 2023 AANA Annual Congress in Seattle and recorded this episode at the same time. They call it “Crisis Management On-Demand” because as a recorded episode both students and CRNAs can access it whenever and whenever they want!

Jeremy and Mark talk about how we think during a crisis, the unconscious biases that exist and they focus on a cognitive template for crisis management that can help formulate a working diagnosis of the perioperative problem, and then zero in on appropriate management. For more detailed information on this cognitive template refer back to our June 13, 2023 episode “Managing Perioperative Crises with a Cognitive Template”.

They also have some fun with some guests in the audience and invite them up on stage to talk more about their areas of expertise. Jeremy and Mark first invite one of the authors of the published Cognitive Template article (Lisa Osborne-Smith, PhD, CRNA, FAANA) up on stage to talk more about the utilization of the template. They next invite the Cormac O’Sullivan, PhD, CRNA, ARBP, FAANA to talk about simulated crises at the AANA Annual Congress. Finally, they invite both Sharon Pearce, DNP, CRNA, FAANA and Jeremy Stanley, EA, CFP®, AIF® up on stage to talk about the origins of the Beyond the Mask Podcast. 

Here are some of the things we’ll discuss in this episode:

• How we develop our own mental model of what to follow in terms of treating a patient.
• The two modes of thinking when we make rapid decisions.
• The research on cognitive errors and biases.
• Background on the cognitive template article from Oregon Health & Science University.
• Simulation training with Dr. Cormac O’Sullivan.
• Background on the Beyond the Mask Podcast and how it got started.

Now for every single practitioner, that process is going to look a little bit different based on our training, our education, as well as our clinical experience that we’ve developed over time. But at the end of the day, we’ve all developed our own mental model of what to follow in terms of treating that patient.
